I test drove a chally... felt like driving a truck... 2 days and 3 dealerships later (because San Diego dealerships put 3K in markups on the Camaros, except one...) I drove my 2002 Grand Prix into the dealership, and drove my 2011 2LT out of it in about 2 hours. They had like 30 Camaros on the lot and no markups because they wanted to sell them.

None. After many hours of research online I had my potential new car choices narrowed down to either a Challenger SRT-8 or a Camaro 2SS. Once ready to pull the trigger my intention that day was to test drive them both.
I decided to test drive the Camaro first. A couple hours and a lot of paperwork later I drove it home. To date I have still never driven a Challenger. |

Hooked since the Concept came out, hoping and praying they wouldn't change it too much (most production cars are nothing like the concept). Drove 2 hours to Indianapolis because local dealers in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati either didn't have what I wanted or wouldn't play ball!! Besides, buying a Camaro from the son of Pete Estes is an added bonus!
Soooo to answer your question........took the Camaro I bought for a spin before beginning the paperwork!!!!!!!

Test drove a 370Z but that was because my Camaro was a pre order and there wasn't even one to look at except on C5. Tried to talk the wife out of the Camaro, glad she stuck to her guns.

Zero. And I didn't even test drive the Camaro. First time I'd been in one was when I drove it off the lot.

0 here too. Bought before it even came in. Sat in 1 but did not get to test drive. No regrets, 42,000 miles.

None. Didnt even test drive the Camaro. Walked in told them what I wanted. Two days later they found it at another dealership. They had it shipped in. I had it purchased before it even arrived. When it got there all I had to do was pick it up.

Loved it when the 5th Gen concept was first leaked. Test drove an automatic SS and although it was nice, I was not blown away like I expected. Then, I drove an M6 2SS and WOW! Can't wait to pay off my other vehicle so I can plop down the cash for my new 2SS/RS. I've never even considered driving anything to compare...never been a Mustang fan, and definitely not a Mopar fan, although they have produced some beasts in the past.....I'm a died-in-the-wool Chevy man!!

Didn't test drive any other car prior to buying my 2LT. I did drive a 2011 Mustang V6 M6 and 3.31 rear to see how it was. It was fast, but not enough to warrant the exterior design I never did understand the chatter about the stang interior being better.
When the V8 bug was getting me, I spent a good 45 min in an RT Challenger. Really liked it, but was too big for me. Liked the close quarters of the Camaro. Then I drove two M6 SS cars....sold.
