It is true that there is not much Camaro here. There are more Mustangs.
But to be honest, I prefer to ride with 2 gen.
I've had it for 18 years and it fits me better

Otherwise, you're right about those kids.
I was trying out a throttle body controller today and I met a little boy who was so excited about my car that I had to ride him at least around the block
That’s a noble gesture George! I commend you for being nice enough to offer the young lad a ride. Here in the states, unless you directly know the person, you could be potentially in for trouble. Sad but, true.

It is not so strict here, but this regulation can be understood.
But I did not write that the boy was accompanied by his mother.
So I asked his mother and she agreed

still in awe of this camaro.
so nice to drive. love the dual zone climate control. never have to touch anything. leave it on 20c and just drive.
ventilated seats are amazing aswell. my hyundai has them and imho makes driving in the summer so relaxing.
this camaro also gives me a warning on the hud when going 10km's over the speed limit.
still looking for something i dont like about it. cant find a thing..oh wait there is one thing lol. cant turn put the cruize control into standby when u cancel it..you have to switch it back on everytime.
that's it. only niggle i can find.boy you put it in track mode with the exhaust in track mode and open it up..damn the pop when it shifts up is INCREDIBLE. almost lambo sounding.
gonna be a great summer this year with my new toy. and no bank loans on it. never loan money for something like this.
we cleared our mortgage 4 years ago and have a lot of cash spare each month.
wife is a specialist nurse aswell so the money keeps flowing ok.

Have no idea what you mean? Do any of you sit in the car at all?? 6th gen is WAY too small inside, was touching elbows the entire ride and center counsel is too high and in the way for comfort.

Id rather fit in my car then have colored lighting......

I also loved the 3rd gen camaros of which I had 2, still want a 1st gen, and always wanted a 4th gen but was to poor back when they were out for one lol
Get inside the car.....6th gen WAY too small unless your asian.....

we hve road tax here in sweden purely based on the cars co2 output and mpg.
my gen6 camaro is 30% less to tax than my gen5.
fuel economy is a lot better on the newer cars. although i dont care. just stating some facts

The physical difference between each of the previous generations was significant. Not so between 5 and 6.

While I'm an admirer of the performance and the exterior looks of the 6 I'm not so enthusiastic about the interior. Not a fan of the overly techy speedo/tach instrument display. Dislike the cheesy AC/heat controls. They remind me of crappy old add-on under dash units.

imho it's worth the upgrade just for the magneride. i have tested my 2017 on roads i have known for 20 years.tell you now it makes a huge difference. no movement at all from the steering wheel or any movement at all.
active exhaust is superb. no need to buy an axle back
apple car play is asweome.
ventilated seats are awesome.
memory seats are nice.
8 speed auto on the upshifts in track mode are intoxicating. pops between shifts.
whole car has a proper solid sports car feel to it.
was very happy with my last gen5 camaros and over the moon with my 2017

The biggest draw back is the tiny interior of the 6th gen though. As i dont compete on the track (maybe a couple runs down the 1/4) id rather have the room inside and not be rubbing shoulders with the passenger.
