That's another reason I want a V6, I don't need a V8. I would be so dang careful with this thing it's not even funny. I would love to have one so much. Would NEVER risk denting it to just show off. But the Camaro Gods are not aware of my pain. Lame. Only way I could get one is to win it, which hasn't happened yet, get a used one for less than a Civic, which is also a rare/impossible thing, or to just wait 2 years and buy it. By which time the "ooohs" and "aahhs" of a new Camaro may be gone, but I will still be happy. Would be sweeter to, to buy my own. Gotta try to look at the few upsides I guess.
So once again, to those who have a 2LT RS and hate it...ignore the OP and keep hating it. Hate it so much that you will do anything to get rid of it. Then call me.

No worries. For the first 4 years of college, I drove around in a 1992 Toyota Previa, which has worse gas mileage than the Camaro V6 and is recently having some trouble with the brakes. But who can blame it, it's nearly 18 years old and has nearly 150000 miles with little maintenance.
But as an early graduation present, my dad decided to get me a 1LT V6 Camaro for my fifth year (for internships and such). Luckily, it hit a chord with him since he used to own a Trans Am. The mileage sold him, and the look of the car was the final nail in the coffin. I also think he thinks it helps to have a confident reliable car for all those internships and job interviews I have to go to...or parties lol. The alternative was a Honda Pilot, so I'm glad I got out of that one

Anyway, yes, I will appreciate my Camaro when it arrives, even if it has a few flaws with it. The emotional response I get just thinking about it is enough for me to appreciate and take care of my soon-to-be car
