I love the trunk space - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I had to make a quick trip to Buffalo NY for a trade show so I got to see how much stuff I could cram into the trunk.

I put in my long box that holds my rolled up table cloth, then my 2 show displays. I put the 24" All in one computer on top of them, my bag of giveaways on the left, my small soft cooler on the right. Then my fold up cart, my laptop bag, my work bag and my over night bag. I also tossed in a few bags of candy in the empty spaces.

I didn't have enough room for my garment bag so I put that in the back seat. It was really funny seeing the look on people's faces as they watched me pull everything out.

The trunk opening could be an inch bigger all the way around but I still fit an impressive amount of stuff in it. So it passed the cram everything into it for work test.

With the rear seats down you can pack a surprising amount of stuff.

Yes there is a lot of room. I transported 8' sections of gutter in it!

The opening is truly like a bottleneck though.

For me it doesn't matter as I would have bought the car even if it didn't have a trunk!

I just went to a software conference this past weekend as well and had a similar experience.

What kind of work do you do?

Had a 12" sub with box back there also lol.

I was genuinely surprised by the amount of room/space in these trunks.. however, the opening restricts more of what you can and can't haul...

JCunningham · 09-24-2014, 09:41 PM

you can fit 4 bodys in there if you try.

Abomb1223 · 09-25-2014, 09:17 AM

inside the trunk is roomy but the opening of the trunk is what sucks. My woods dont fit so they have to be taken out of the golf bag and ride in the front seat!

sbubbaklein · 09-25-2014, 10:06 AM

the convertible is a bit cramped with the top down. We used fed ex ground to ship our dirty clothes home while on Hot Rod Power Tour the past 3 years. Fed ex is also good if your wife makes you stop at the outlet malls on your trip

No dead hooker jokes? Times must be changing.

I have a fullsize spare in mine. it takes up so much room, I've had to turn the spare upside down so I can put groceries inside the wheel itself. Actually it holds things (that fit) nicely and keeps them from sliding around. Not much room on the sides, but there's some.

It's a bit cramped with the top up, too LOL

Size of the trunk is really amazing. A sort of Eega Beeva pockets.

Yesterday I had to bring my mountain bike to the local bike shop for a service and I decided to put it in the trunk of my Camaro (without wheels of course).

At the parking lot outside the bike shop few young boys playing football in the near sport field stopped playing and started looking at me pulling out my bike from the trunk.

Fortunately when I put the bike inside the trunk at home I took note of what has to get out first, so I didn't get stuck in front of all these guys!

My white Camaro - in my town in Switzerland - it's really an head turning car... you can imagine a white Camaro with a green bike stuck halfway in the trunk! It would have been the day event!

Really amazing!

It looks like you can fit a pretty big girl in the trunk.
