Welcome
If you don't have RS and/or SS packages the standard tires are All-Season tires.

Also we haven't had any snow to speak of, I found out the other night how the car handles on a road covered in solid ice. The traction control appears to recover pretty quick and better than I expected.

1) I know its reer wheel drive and where i live we get alot of snow does any1 know how this car drives in snow?
2) Is the 2010 Camaro LT v6 Automatic Or Manual transmition
3) im about 6'3 do you think it would be to small for my height?

I want to thank everyone for thier answers in advance!
Ok, I drove Number 3 (a 1LT around Michigan all last winter. NO problems and was actually the first RWD car that I could get up my driveway in the snow. The SS is fine also, but you will need to change the tires to the Pirelli Ice and Snows. Helps a lot.

Winter driving is all dependant on the tires. I would not EVER drive in the winter on Summer Only tires.

V6 can be had with both. I've driven them both and they are both great. Just depends on how much you like shifting.

I am 6'0", but I sit very tall with short legs. In the torso I'm probaly 6'4" or so equivalent. I had no problems in a sunroof car. I've also talked to guys taller than me who have had no problems.

I have a V6 LS, it is my daily driver, rain snow, what ever.
It is ok in the snow with the heritage wheels I got off ebay for $600 with tires. Don't believe the people with pirelli all seasons, they make your camaro into a bobsled.
I'm 6'1" and I have no problem.
The LT come A6 and M6, I prefer the M6 but thats just me.
If you are handy you might want to save some $ with the LS and do the Mods you really want after. This has saved me a bundle over the LT.

I'm 6'3" as well, and in the test drives had no problem fitting in the car. I *DID* order mine without the sunroof, as it was crowding me a bit (I like to sit up straighter). You should be fine with or without the sunroof.

It's when you get to be 6'5" or taller that the sunroof really becomes an issue... unless you like the laid-back look.
