the flip side try high speed full panic braking in your car so you know how it handles. |

Well I guess I got a good one then cause when it was stock I messed with it to see how it perfromed and handled being so heavy and having 400hp and have to say, could spin the tires alot and get sideways in a hurry, but learned how it reacts to all kinds of driving styles..Is a lot of fun, but I respect what it can do and how quickly you can get "outta shape" with her. Be careful and enjoy..

Everyone on this forum drives like a little girl afraid of their car. Most SS owners should have bought a V6 if they're scared of the power.

I was just making a point. You have to know how much throttle you can control no matter wet or dry.

I didn't mean it that way, just that you shouldn't buy a V8 if you aren't gonna use the power. A V6 will do everything else you want from a Camaro.
