Any owners drive a mountain road yet?

[JoeySS/RS]

I live in BC and we have some pretty insane mountain roads ... and I can not wait to take the Camaro on. From what I have read so far, the Camaro handles pretty well and I think it will just be the best experience.

Also, I don't know whether it's just cause the Camaro has been away for so many years, but seems somewhat exotic to me and definately well worth it. In a couple years, you can always trade it in or sell it depending on how you feel. There will always be someone wanting it ... I can't wait to get mine

Comfy is the only requirement if we're talking Cadillac DTS, a Buick Lucerne, or a Lexus here. In a sporty car, the seat should keep you in place in the turns without you having to shatter your leg pressing into the dead pedal or bruise your knees bracing against the door and center dash. The Camaro's seats are about one step above bench seats in that regard. Sure they'd be great for that road trip out to Tucson I made last weekend from Los Angeles (the entire time I was thinking "wish I had a Camaro, wish I had a Camaro, wish I had a Camaro). However, road trips like that happen maybe twice a year for me, whereas GMR is 5 minutes from my door and I take just about any opportunity I can get to drive it. It has sections so narrow and tight it feels small even when driving the Cobalt. I know the road can handle the physical size of the Camaro, but placing the car requires visibility and a feeling of nimbleness (which is not the same as handling or grip. All three are very different but very important aspects of how the car drives).

If you're sliding around in these seats, you must be tiny. I slid a bit in my '02 Trans Am, but I feel liked I'm locked into place in the '10. As far as visibility, it takes some getting used to. The visibility is a hell of a lot better than in my Trans Am (convertible) so it was pretty easy to get used to the improved visibility.

That stretch from Tucson to California was my drive home from the dealership with my Camaro. It was definitely a great ride.

I have only driven a 2LT but will be getting my 2SS in a couple weeks, then i can answer this question. I will be doing some of the Oregon coast, some prtty tight curves on 101. Than taking it to Wyoming so i'll get some mountain driving there.

Oregon Coast will be my break in run. Lots of different driving conditions, small towns to slow down for, hills and curves to speed up for, 4 lane roads, 2 lane roads with congestion. Perfect 300 mile round trip for break in, then i'm not so worried after that to go freeway for long periods.
