A friend is test driving a camaro right now and will have it intil 4pm Est. Does anybody have any question they want answered. Oh, he is driving a RJT 1SS.

SS or LT? Have you Messed your pants yet?

When you turned on the car, did it return the favor?

Is it heaven on wheels?

Can you die now?

You know the answers to those questions! Oh, a 1SS in RJT

We want to know everything!

Cornering? How's the under stear? Stick or Auto? If Auto, any delay or problems with the padle shifters? What's the torque feels like? Does the car just make you sink into the seat as you take off? All the dirty tedails please!!

0-60 and quarter mile.

More videos of drive by, etc... this time WITHOUT wind on the camera mic.

He's told me so far that the 1SS is more quiet than the first test cars, but it still has a rumble to it. Also, the car will put you in the back seat if you slam down on it. I'll call and ask about the cornering and steering.

fastfret7 · 02-26-2009, 02:18 PM

I know he is not allowed to photograph or take video of the car. He is a truck test fleet driver for GM and today they had no trucks for him to test. So, they gave him a Camaro.

I'm interested in over the over-the-shoulder views. i know I've heard people say that its not an issue while just sitting in it, but does it become one while driving?

I want to dispel the rumors about the delay with the paddle shifters.This is total bullsh!t!
I own a 2006 Corvette with paddle shifters and there is NO delay when shifting with the paddles.I hope this paddle rumor doesn't turn into the ABL rumor.The Camaro with the auto will run faster times then the manual.

There has to be a little delay when pressing the paddle shifters, it's just a matter of how much..

fastfret7 · 02-26-2009, 06:24 PM

O.K. I just got off the phone with my friend and he was going off on the power of the car! He said that the cornering was tight, but not so tight that you lose comfort. It was an automatic and that it shifted very smoothly. He also said that the radio was killer. Ummm....I think that's about it. Oh, he told me that no one is going to hate this car. Well, mustang owners maybe!
