#473
I've put only 100 miles on the car today since getting it yesterday and the break in cycle is very demanding. Not from what Team Camaro has required, but that 4000 RPM limit keeps me on my toes!! The car is quick, the ride is better than my 2SS, and the manual gearbox shifts so nicely through gears that it makes the manual in my 2010 SS feel like a truck transmission! (I'm known to be VERY blunt when communicating) and I haven't taken it out of Tour mode and probably wont until 1501 miles.
Because I know what will happen if I do that.
The salesman and I drove it to fill it up with gas and at 2800 RPM shifting into 2nd the rear slid ever so slightly, but enough that we both looked at each other and were grinning ear-to-ear.
It takes the corners and on ramps so well that the only reason for slowing down is catching up to a car in front of me.

Fbodfather -While I don't have a Perma-Grin yet... I will say that MODERATE acceleration through the gears (Staying under 4000 rpm and 80 MPH) does leave me with the feeling that one gets on some of the baddest roller-coasters as they accelerate from take off..WHHHEEEEEEEE!!!
I can't wait to get it to Iowa and give it to Dad for his "Bucket List" tour of Route 66 (what's left of it)
