New LI guy with some q"s sorry , long winded
Ok, I am a life long Vette owner, forced by the loooooong delay of this car coming out , that I traded in the Vette for a Challenger, long story short, I have a 2 year old,and the wife, knowing how I drive threatened me with death if she caught me with JR. in the car, so I got the Mopar which is child seat friendly, and a very cool car, BUT, not a Chevy, or a sports car, more of a cool looking tank. sooooo, I finaly get my rear end in the actual seat, of a Camaro yesterday, in Medford, , is overpriced, and not what I would buy,but I am sure you can guess the rest, I now can get rid of the tank, and get back in a chevy!. I can not get a test drive in a car, any time soon, and was looking for some verbal feedback on the car,how tight is it? looks good, but will I feel like I am driving a 4 seat sport car, or no?. Finally, I know there are some local Nassau county guys with cars, and I would love a ride in one for a passenger seat review, if you are a bellmore person, or OBI , and would take pity on me, please let me know. If you see me in my black Challenger, my plate says "NOT ROD" , because the car, after my Vettes is fun but NOT a hot rod, , any way if you see me, and have some time to BS, give a honk, and Please let me hear frist hand info on the car. I will be getting one, either 1 or 2 SS, most likely auto, so the Mrs. can drive it( worth the comments here, she has put up with me getting a vette every 2 years since we met), any way I need to know if the ride is worth it, and would love t hear some first hand info! ......Hey dealers!!!!, I have a sweeeet trade for you!!! tia, Chris

I feel your pain. I looked at a Challenger before I ordered my Camaro. It's too big !. Every review says the Camaro is a much better car than the Challenger. Iv'e driven the Camaro and believe me its a cool 4 seater. I'm suprised you can't find a dealer with a Camaro demo for a test drive in Nassau County. If you do you will be sold- it's a quick (even the 6 cyl) tight, responsive car. Good luck. PS: I left Nassau County for No West Ct years ago and never looked back.

If you got no feet you can sit in the back... Thats the only thing I see wrong no room in the back seat. and sight is a little hard driving you look right and look at the roof line not out the window. The chop in the roof is low. But still an awesome car to drive.
