My new 2013 2SS/RS vert - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I just got back into town, gave her a bath, and took some pics of my new toy. All in all, there is nothing that I don't like about the car (read that as permagrin)...although I still think the hill assist is like cheating. I'm still getting used to it but I do find getting to 5th and 6th gears require thinking on my part....there were a few 4th to 3rd and 5th to 4th shifts when I meant to upshift. I know a lot of people don't like the look of the the new radio, but in person I think it looks pretty good. Also, the more I drive it the more I love the HUD.

I have had the top up and down quite a few times over the weekend and have not rub marks or creases...it's still early but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. About the only knock I have come up with so far is the 2013 owners manual goes into great detail about a 2012 infotainment system instead of the new system.

One last thing....the dual mode exhaust sounds awesome. When it kicks in it is more subtle than I thought it would be but you definitely notice it.
