So tell me.. what's it like driving the SS compared with faster sports cars?

Right now the car I drive does 0-60 in 5.9s. Not too shabby but I'm already bored of the acceleration and thirst for more. Previous cars were in the mid 7s or so.

So I'm wondering if after owning the SS a while (haven't got mine yet), I will get bored of the acceleration (because I've already grown accustomed to 5.9s and it's too slow now, maybe 4.6s will be the new "slow" once I get the SS?).

I guess in the grand scheme of things, one doesn't get bored of it if one knows that you can't get much better than what one has. If you already owned the fastest car out there, you aren't going to be yearning for something faster - because there isn't anything out there.

I want something more than my current car because there are much faster cars than my own for not much more money.

My point is: has anyone owned some really fast sports car like a 911 Turbo or something (3.9s), and can compare it with the SS? If the SS "feels" like the 911 Turbo, then I won't feel that I could do "better". But if current SS owners are already getting "bored" with the power and are yearning for something more - then perhaps I should consider getting the Z/28 instead.

(I am getting my Camaro in 2011 so if the Z/28 does not come out in 2011 then I won't have a problem with deciding which Camaro to get).

So for people who own cars that do 0-60 in 3.9s. How does it compare when switching over to the Camaro? Does the Camaro feel "slow" by comparison? Most people think 7.5s is "fast", but if I'm used to 5.9s - then 7.5s is slow. So if you own a car that does 3.9s - does the 4.6s Camaro SS feel "slow"?
