The Camaro is hardly the only vehicle on the road with the filler on the right side...just saying...
But of course you have the right not to like it.

I wouldn't have gotten it. Don't get me wrong, I love it now, but I would have just saved my money and got something cheaper like a 4th gen.

Only thing I regret SOMETIMES is my color choice. Sometimes I wish I would have went with the white like I originally planned but the wife swayed me to the yellow. Now with the synergy being offered in different trims I may have chosen that also.

SynJax · 04-25-2010, 09:29 AM

I would have the steering wheel telescope a little further out so I can sit back a little further, other than that, 5 weeks in and I'm still totally in love with this car...

I am not saying I like it, I don't, but it is a safety factor. My old friend always said they belong on the passenger side.

We ordered our 2SS with all the options but the sunroof and RS package. I've had T-Tops and another sunroof before. In Florida its too hot and adds a lot of UV damage inside. I love the RS lights, but the $1200 saved paid for my mods.

My advise: Get everything you want, provided you can afford it. I do this now and I love'm more and don't wanna trade'm near as offten as I did.

Wish I would have waited for HUD.

KybheSS · 05-05-2010, 06:45 AM

A lot of people talk about their head touching the sun roof.. how tall are these people? Just asking because I am about to get one with a roof and I am no giant but I'm not short either.

2KWIK4U · 05-05-2010, 08:25 AM

I am still waiting for the convertible but all the ones I have sat in or driven the roof touches my head if it has the sun roof. I am 6' 260 lbs but I like to drive more upright it seems than some. You loose about 2" going to the sunroof I think

Never could get use too laying back to drive!

Is there anything you would do different if you were to order your Camaro now?

---Additional option?
---Different Color?
---an option you would not have gotten?

any MODS you wish you hadn't done?

I want to be sure to get it right, with no regrets- remorse.

The only change for me would be for them not to put the Obama and UAW logos on it.

GoPaul · 05-06-2010, 10:22 AM

sometimes think I should have paid the extra $5k and gone for a SS, then forget about it all when I climb into my baby and think crap I already have a V8!

If I had to change one thing - it would be the position of the cup holders, crap design in the M6 when wanting to change gear and the drink gets in your way - however if that is the extent of my complaints then it proves I am a very happy man with my 2LT RS.

Wanna-Play · 05-06-2010, 10:48 AM

I have no regrets on my car, 24,000 Km and still love the the car, the only 2 things I would have liked to be different, power seat on passenger side, gas and brake pedal too close.

EMB135Driver · 05-06-2010, 10:56 AM

Im happy with it as a whole, but I would have put the gas tank on the Driver's side and made a locking fuel door standard.

Tessa · 05-06-2010, 11:08 AM

Absolutley nothing....
I originally was going to order a 1LT with only the upgraded stereo and the convenience and connectivity package - THAT I would have regretted....
I wanted a sunroof but the $900 seemed a bit much...

Lucky for me I tripped over my 2SS loaded with everything (except insanely priced rims and GFX) and I'm SOOOOO happy I did - I couldn't imagine having to settle for less

That being said, get what you want as long as you can afford it - I'm lucky I had that option but...if you aren't rolling in dough like me (I say that sarcasticly - I had to take my divorce money to pay for this car and because of that I only ended up with $22 back on my taxes...I have my car but otherwise

....LOL she's worth every cent I don't have

) then get the options you can't install later. A lot of things can be added after - but things like a sunroof can't!
