Some "prejudiced" thoughts on the SS/RS...

[KJS]

Scott - I for one AM interested in a car that I can drive for hundreds of miles at a clip without hearing the drone of the exhaust, roar of the tires and whistling of the wind around the windows. Been there done that in the noise department my C4 Vette. I want a "big boys" car.
How it handles in the wet, snow and dry conditions is important to me. Even if it were a weekend driver, I'd still want to drive it...as much as I could in all conditions.
AND as was stated before in this thread, you need to write a book about the birthing process of the Gen5.
We (who appreciate the trials and tribulations you've been through) hang on your every word. Some of us in different industries and occupations who have been through the dark and trying days, can appreciate and understand the pissing contests and petty BS that you must have endured, when you just wanted to do the right thing and do it right. We applaud whatever you had to do so we can be proud of our choice and enjoy the the stares and drooling!
Ingnore the nay-sayers, complainers and cranks (does anyone really care about someones tire problems on this thread?)keep us informed and entertained. Let them go eslewhere to complain.
THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!

First of all -- THANK YOU - very sincerely -- for your kind words...but please keep in mind that it takes the committment of thousands of people to bring you a great car -- and I can assure you that the men and women working on the Camaro are dedicated to bringing you the best Camaro ever.......

.........do you believe me? I don't expect you to -- the PROOF will be when you drive one for the first time! (perma-grin!)

Now -- as to writing a book -- I've had a few offers from people offering to be a 'ghost' writer for me - (and right now, that's what it would have to be -- ) -- but frankly, there are so many stories about this industry that far eclipse the day-to-day development of cars and trucks.......(most of it is not glamorous -- it's trying - it eats you up -- and it can kill you! -- because you see -- if you feel passionately about anything -- you're going to get opposing thoughts thrown in your face......)

Now -- if you want a GREAT insider view of the 5th Gen Camaro -- here's something I put out on the 'net a couple of weeks back........I STRONGLY suggest that you buy this book -- you won't regret it!


Here goes:


Good evening, Camaro Comrades and Firebird Friends..........

As most of you know, our Good Friend Larry Edsall is the author of the newest Camaro book:

>>>>CAMARO - A LEGEND REBORN<<<<<

.........and I know many of you have pre-ordered.

For those of you who have not yet ordered -- you may want to take a look -- this is a book I know every one of you will want to read.............

Seriously, I hope I don't get raped on my new 2010 Camaro and actually get good advice about keeping my car and my tires alive as long as they should. Pirelli wouldn't help me and Chevrolet wouldn't hone up to their poor professional advice by not suggesting a rotation when they should have. Really don't know why I stick with GM sometimes. Now I have to replace 2 more tires tomorrow now. Pirelli sucks balls.

You seem to be able to write English ...So I don't understand why you could not understand the clear and simple instructions in the Owners Manual regarding YOUR responsibilities to rotate the tires.

Glad you're lovin it, can't wait to get a chance myself!
