My ride in the new V6 Camaro
Well I was able to take our V6 demo car for a few rides today and was very impressed in the power. i laid a 30 foot (one wheel) patch at launch and was able to break it free with trac cont off very easily. Put a shit eating grin on my face in about 3 seconds! Im a big guy 6'1 300lbs and i got in and out of the Camaro just fine, something that i cant do in a Corvette. the visability is pretty typical of a sports car and was manageable. the cloth interior on the 1LT was just ok to me. The sound system was great and the connectivity package is a must have option! The exterior aesthetics are beautiful and will draw a crowd wherever it goes. We had people coming in all day and night drooling over the car. The V6 exhaust note at idle is quite tame but when you put your foot into it there was a real nice growl that emitted from behind me. All in all I am still in love with this car and am very excited to be a part Chevrolet providing these fine vehicles to you guys. for those of you waiting and waiting it will be worth it!! this car delivers as promised in the feel good/look good department!

Thanks for the quick review! So, only one wheel for the spin? AWWWE..that sucks. But at least she rips!
Did the V6 sound like a V6 when you put your foot into it, or did it sound like a V8? Which wheel package was on your car?

I am glad the 2010 camaro is a fun car no matter which one you buy. I can see why the 6cyl is going to be GM's bread and butter.

Always enjoy reading about salespeople and employees abusing brand new cars that are not broken in yet, and don't belong to them. Not!

On the other hand... the break in perios may be total BS. A few warm up and cool down cycles and a few miles at various RPM should allow everything to seat proper. I hammered on my RX~8 on the test drive... ran her up to the red line, about 9K with 40-something miles on it. The car gave me 37000 miles of flaw less service. On the C6 I "tried" to break it in but that was a LOOOONG 500 miles. I did not do too bad. In a note to the dealer... respect the car, any car that isn't yours. Some day you will sell it and why risk damage? |

Ok I got your point.... Your right I should live by what I preach but... #1 I was "test driving" to see if I wanted to buy the car. #2 I bought the car.
I was not just out taking the car for a thrill ride like Mr. dealer here. he had no intentions on buying the car, just having fun. |
