2LT to SS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Been driving a 2LT since 2016, enjoyed the car a lot but for the last couple of years I have been looking to replace it. I had many options but wanted a 2dr, manual, 8Cyl, low maintenance, good looking vehicle. I kept coming back to the Gen 5. Recently found this 2012 2SS w/manual. Has 96K but looks brand new. A lot of credit to the previous 2 owners who took great care of this car. Hope I keep it up as well as they did

Very nice, and a GFX car to boot. I’d say you made a very nice upgrade.

Welcome!
I also started with a 2LT and then went up to the SS. Only you know how much better you feel.

Sweet looking car. Perma-grin right?

Dirgam · 09-09-2023, 06:29 PM

Yes for sure. I keep coming up with reasons that I have to go out.

Beautiful car! Good luck with it.

I traded my 2LT RS coupe with auto trans (which I bought new) for a 2SS RS vert with a manual (which was 6 years old with only 4000 miles). I did it because I wanted a convertible and since I was changing cars, I got everything else I preferred as well. Of course, the power difference is noticeable, and the car I have now is the car I would have ordered from the factory, but I thought the V6 had more than enough power and got me into enough trouble.

That's the only downside to all of these 5th Gens, in my opinion. The most fun I've ever had in a car, but you know you can only scratch the surface of its capability without risking the loss of your driver's license!

Hey there, yes sir. Thanks for the mention!! I appreciate that. Your red is a cool color, but I have always loved the "metallic" red colors, reason I bought the Red Jewel Tintcoat color. The Crystal Red came out in 2012.. My old school Dodge Challenger was Candy Apple Red..
