Well, when I bought mine (Dec 2012) there were some issues with the ragtops I didn't care to deal with. Also, my personal opinion is that ragtops look good on 2 passenger cars, but not 4. Looks good with the top down, but too long a roof-line with it up. Love my sunroof though.

Dude i just made a horses ass out of myself (apologies) I was on another forum at the same time on a similar subject and got confused.

We are 100% in agreement. I would never buy an auto camaro or a v6 camaro. I would just simply get something altogether different.

When you said this, it pretty much tells me don't know exactly what your talking about when it comes to the LLT/LFX V6 engines.

The lack of throttle response isn't due to a lack of low end power. Its due to engine and transmission tuning. They use the LFX V6 in the new midsize trucks and everyone complains about how doggy off the line it feels....until they actually tune it. its done for mpg purposes.

The V6 respodse to input just fine...and snaps to attention when you mod for it. Its not like they made it so that it makes zero power down low, and then makes all of the power at 7,000 rpm.

Anyways, not sticking around for this awesome thread, but thought a little ignorance needed to be corrected. Yes...I likely wasted my time lol.

Almost, there is one check missing so I'll get it out of the way. I don't know why anyone would buy a Camaro in any color but silver.

Agree, it chaps my hide almost as much as when they misspell the name Camaro and say they have one.

Man I hate when people say RS for a V6. If you're going to start a useless rant at least get it right!!

RS is NOT a model, it's a damn appearance option.

Haha was was gonna say the same thing. RS is only a package. V6 would be referred to as : V6, or a LS model, or a LT model. AND I would LOVE a V8 but I just couldn't afford one. Nice comments. Nice way to insult us V6 owners.

I insulted people? How the hell is that? All I did was talk about my pet peeve of people using the term RS incorrectly.
