I sensed more complaining in that article. I remember from a video that 'Father mentioned one of the protos' he was driving had more than 200K miles on it (the audience wanted him to do a burnout, but he mentioned the mileage on the car) so I wonder what the mileage was on that particular one, and if it were as high, whether-or-not they were being objective regarding the condition of the car. Not a bad article.

It says in the article that the manual car had paddle shifters on the steering wheel so they would only have to use the one wheel. (not on production ofcourse) Anyway, i looked at the pictures of the manual car that they have, and i assume since i cant see the paddles, it means that they're not those annoying paddle that you have to push to upshift and pull to downshift. Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!
They also say in the article, that chevy said, with some tweaking, they could have the 0-60 time around 5.9.

Just, please, keep in mind this was a preproduction car, with probably a million miles on it. I'm sure there won't be squeaky suspension, LOL.

Looking closely ( enlarging ) pic #8, in the very bottom left corner there is what looks to me very much like the “+” paddle in my Corvette. http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette/photogallery/ Interior picture #9 here shows the ‘Vette version . . .

no there is another thread about the shifters somewhere, they are on the backside of the steering wheel.
This is what we think will be like the camaro shifters. This is not a camaro steering wheel.

And why would those in the pic you posted be called ‘paddles’? They look more like rocker switches, to me . . . - Ray Confused.... |

I'm fine with either one. Though I think I'd prefer the one's Pink showed us. |

The rear suspension noise. Probably from the coil overs, which are superior handling but might need just to be broken in. Or some more damping material in problem spots. |

I am extremely concerned with how big they said it felt to drive. I much prefer a small car with nimbleness, and the Camaro was already pushing my size envelope as it was. If it feels big and bulky, I might have to look elsewhere. Along with price and interior quality, this is a deal-breaker area.
