actually,you ARE correct!..not to mention increased insurance costs,along with higher maintenence costs..smart money says buy the v6,and "throw" "ss" badges all over it!..everybody will think ya got the v8!

When I get my SS it's going to be my DD too, I just cannot see myself dropping all this money on this amazing car and keeping it in the garage. And yes I will drive it in the rain in snow too, just throw some snow tires on there and everything will be just dandy!

jmelchio · 05-11-2010, 08:54 AM

I use the SS as my daily driver. I've had it 2 months and just turned over 5400 miles on it. In my opinion, the extra costs for gas/oil changes are worth it. To each his own, but I think if you are on the fence, get the SS.

American Muscle · 05-11-2010, 08:57 AM

drivin it as my daily driver right now, not sure what i'm going to do in the winter yet though .. the price of a good set of snow tires can buy me a beater. I'm paranoid when dust gets on it now, nevermind when the salt and dirt comes in the witner. ahhh

Pirate · 05-11-2010, 11:09 AM

I bought the car to drive and I still prefer the V8 over any other engine combo. So right now it will be 16 to 20 MPG on Premium (Shell) and I can live with that. It is what you want overall. Save gas? Or have great power when you step on it? It is a matter of what you can live with.

Kubi · 05-11-2010, 11:32 AM

I picked up 1/2/10 so far 8200 miles on it. You bet I am going to drive it!

mcarney · 05-11-2010, 01:28 PM

How far do you live? I live 5 miles from work and have been filling up once a week (i got out on the weekends and stuff too). I told myself I would drive conservatively to and from work... but its too fun not to. I punch it at least once on my way to work every morning.

-cars are meant to be driven.

WeeZee · 05-11-2010, 04:49 PM

If u live in Arizona or Cali go for it, I live in Michigan so it's not even a thought

HIGHOCTANE · 05-11-2010, 04:54 PM

I've had plenty of garage queens....and intended to make the Camaro one...but I really love to drive it so it has became my DD.
On a side note I added Headers and a tune and my avg mileage for my commute has increased about 2-2.5 MPG...at 19.6(with some spirited driving everytime I get in it) it is about 5 MPG better than my truck. I'm more than happy with that,actually suprised lol.
Just doing my part for the enviroment
