Upgrading to an SS
After 18 months, I'm trading in my 2012 2LT RS auto with 8200 miles and getting a 2012 2SS/RS M6 with 430 miles! Yes 430 miles!! I loved my V6 but could not pass up the deal and mileage.

A great deal and a good color. I can't tell though, does it have white stripes or is that just sunlight?

Where you happy with the power of the V8 SS? I just test drove my 6th SS today this time no fuse pull excuses because it was a brand new 2014 without any miles and the battery was dead and had to be jumped. I just wasn't impressed with the power again. After six test drives in both autos and manuals I think I'm giving up until the next gen. The 5.0 Stang in manual feels kinda barky but the SS doesn't feel it although if it wasn't for the trade in ass raping I would of still bought it because I like the Camaro overall better. I'm pretty surprised how good my 6'er still felt after pounding on a brand new SS/Manual.
