How will you feel/act when you have your camaro in front of you for the first time?



I'll probably feel like Tiff does when he approaches the enzo and drive like he does the McLaren. Which driver would you be?

I never knew that the enzo was so much more practical than the F1. Anyhoo, the very first time I see one on the streets I will probably try and follow it as much as possible, just to see more of it! But when they come out, I think I will go to some local dealers and announce that I am doing some 'comparision shopping' versus the stang and challenger. That will obviously require a test drive, at each chevy dealer I can find. But the question is, what will I do in the time between i visit all the local dealers and when I have enough money to buy one?

I'd react exactly like he did. I can't believe that McLaren...6 mpg!!?!?:eek: no thanks..... I'm surprised at how "easy" of a driver the Enzo is...I expected, well, I don't know what I expected, but not that...

I CAN say this. I don't know which I want in my 'Maro now, the manual, or the paddle. Both looked invigorating in each of those cars...

I think I will get all giddy and giggly like a schoolgirl. Then when I get in I will crank it up, give it a quick blip of the throttle, pat the dash, tell it, "you and me are gonna have some good times together.", and roll out of the dealership. Once I hit the broken-in mileage at whatever Chevy recommends, I will pat the dash again, tell it "Now for the fun part.", and take it down the 1/4 mile for the first time.

I'm going to stand there in disbelief, probably bust out in a giggle fit, jump up and down and then just sit in it in awe for a few minutes. That's what I did when I got the SI. But I've waited for years for a Camaro so I know I'll be at least 5 times worse with this car.

Keep in mind folks...your 25k Chevrolet will not have a real paddle shifter like the $1,000,000 Ferrari. It will be an automatic that shifts when you press a paddle instead of move a shifter...lol

I will be so over excited, I will have to just stand there for around 10 minutes trying to let it sink in that I now own a new Camaro!

I have a feeling I will react a little bit like this except saying CA-MA-RO-Z-2-8!!
(Watch the whole thing)


EDIT:pretend the video is here and click here

So can we call it a semi-automatic?

I am not sure what I will do at first...but I think I will take my pillow and my blanky and sleep in the drivers seat that night. Then I would wake up the next day and take it for a "morning walk".
