Thanks to all that replied.

My decision is actually hinging on remorse. The whole 'shoulda gone with an 8' is what's killing me. The only V8s I have ever driven were an anemic Durango SLT and 2 Chevy pickups. The latter of which had a 6.0L Vortec V8 with 300hp and some mad tq stock(2500HD). I actually loved that truck, but found that I hell of a lead foot and need to get further acquainted with that much power before I decide if I should put both feet through the door.

This, coupled with the resultant costs have made me reconsider. So this is why I'm asking the dealers that frequent the board how I should go about testing an SS trim due to my fear of taking out someone's pre-order. I know how people are with fears of people test driving their 'baby' and railing on it. I would never want to do so or even try such a thing, so I hope to just take one off the lot that will later be sold, and also drive it under the supervision of a salesperson to quell their worries. I respect the Camaro, and I want those dealers to see this and at least on their terms get a feel for the car before I buy.
