Ended up test driving a damn 1SS manual......and I loved it. What a huge improvement over my last Camaro ('00 Z28). Yeah this one still feels kinda big but not boaty like the '00. Plus MUCH nicer ride, power, seats....you name it. A little throatier exhaust is about all the car needs IMO.
But....I really am not supposed to buy one since the back seat seems pretty tight for my 2 dogs that I routinely shuttle around to the beach..etc. And I'd have to park it on the street...only a 1 car garage do I have (2 sportbikes in there....no room for much else).
Charger SRT-8 is what I'm "supposed" to be looking at it b/c of bigger back seat, 4 doors.....much easier for dogs. But no manual and extra weight are sort of a turn-off.....would have to buy used as well b/c of price.
But damn the 1SS was nice! If I could find a stripped base 1SS with no options for around $30K.....that's all I need...would be tempting....hmmm
