Haven't heard anyone mention this... the Corner/Side Lamps.

Smoking the lenses on those will be the first thing I do.

Agreed.
Remember the 70's?
1970 Z28 had a 350 with 360hp.
1971 Z28 had the 350 but with a reduced 330hp.
1973, came down again.
By 1979, the poor girl was left with 215 horses or something desperate like that.

It will be different, but there will be a change. The hay day for this generation, is now!

So gotta figure out which route I really want to go. 2LT and give up the spoiler, or go 2LT/RS and get the 20's.

SO are u saying my SS is not gonna have a spoiler at all? I didnt order the rs package.

1. Pointless backseat
2. Cheap looking grill
3. RS Package comes with Summer Tires instead of AS
4. THE GOT-DAMN WAIT JUST TO HAVE ONE IN MY DRIVEWAY!!!

I believe the SS has the low decklid spoiler whether you get RS or not.

This is my only complaint as well. I dont mind it, its just gonna take some time getting used to. Parking with a curb in front of me is gonna be a problem, until i get used to it.

Not pointless...it's a big insurance discount.

This isnt something that I dont like about the car but something I just noticed. The 2010 Camaro always reminded me of another car. Almost like I had seen it before. Then today I realized what car the Camaro reminds me of. Is it me or does it have a Cadillac feel to it? The cuts in the car and the general outline are VERY similar to today's Cadillacs in general but its very close to the 2 door XLR. Sort of takes away from some of the Camaro's originality I think, but I love the car.

Interesting that some people hate the backseat.

As I see it, GM needs to have this car appeal to as wide a base as possible to ensure strong sales and a future for the Camaro. 2+2 has much greater reach than a 2 seater coupe... IMHO a 'muscle car' *has* to be 2+2, otherwise its a new category.

The insurance discount is a nice benefit too.

The fact that I am not driving it yet

ZZcamaro · 05-12-2009, 02:01 PM

I don't like that the Camaros are not in our driveways...HAHA

That's what I noticed on the test drive. I didn't know how far forward to go when I was parking it at the end, so I thought I played it safe and left over a foot. I got out and looked, and I actually only had 2 or 3 inches left. I almost scratched that poor beautiful machine.

Phelan · 05-12-2009, 02:32 PM

The seats, i haven't actually sat in one yet but hearing reports from the forums here, being designed to accommodate 250-300lbs sucks being 6' and 140lbs.
wish they shot for more of a middle range and let the big boys deal with a tight fit.

*also whats up first post (months now of just reading)
