Is anyone else driving their "normal" car faster? :) - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Yeah I have noticed driving through the turns a little faster than usual with each day that it comes a little closer. My monte carlo (DD) never recieves a break, and it won't recieve a break even after i get the camaro!

+1, I always drive my "Z" fast, but in a safe manor as well as an intimidating factor to all that feel froggy on the street. ")

I got a speeding ticket last month, and I wasn't thinking about the 5th Gen or even driving aggressive. My dad was like, "Are you gonna get tickets in the new Camaro? One more ticket and no Camaro."

I was like, "Dammit!..............I need a radar detector."

Then I find a speeding ticket in his truck two days ago that says he was speeding in MY car

They use lasers around here though, so Idk

55-60 max for 30 minutes max, I live in constant fear of the engine overheating

I wish I could drive fast. Not that I can't but my car sits low and is in need of a new suspension, so any little dip in the road makes the chassis hit the pavement hard. It's all scratched up down there. and my down pipes are all dented.

I have been drivin the hell out of my 1.8t lately. Its especially fun now since we just had a cold front run through here, charge temps are down and it feels like i got another 10-15 more torque. I can only imagine what another 150 lb-ft will feel like through the rear wheels... Is it 09 yet???

13F20 · 10-17-2008, 10:37 PM

Hell for me to get the practice down i have a bud that will be loaning me his 2002 35th annaversary ss till I get my 5th gen. He knows what i will be getting my self into and said when we get back he will toss me the keys so as long as I dont damage the car IE rec it.

I might know whats wrong with ur car. The water outlet is probably cracked(Its PLASTIC) like mine was and leaked coolant like a mofo, some red GM RTV sealant works like a charm to seal it after you get a new one. Unless a hose or the radiator is busted, had to get a new one of those too.

BACK ON TOPIC!!

LMao every morning on the way to school, my girlfriend first says Dennis because she gets nervous but excited because she laughs to, just bolt until im 10k over the speed limit, the fusion i drive is auto(ive been driving stick since i was 9 though) but all i notice now is me pretending to downshift and yeah....just too excited since i ordered lol Good Times, 6 more monthes

Emher · 10-18-2008, 04:11 AM

Yeah I've been pushing my Saab harder and harder lately. I've even managed a few mini burnouts! Not to bad for a 4-banger turbo with 192hp!
