Went for a ride in a Gt500 tonight... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My buddy picked up a 2010 GT500 today with 13,000 miles on it. Its black with matte black stripes, looks really sharp.He got on it a couple of times and I have to say to me it seems like they could use a little more power.

My car makes 700 rwhp so its hard for me to compare to a car that makes roughly 450 ish rwhp. Over all though its a very nice ride. The only complaints I have about the car are that it rides alot stiffer then the camaro and the seat bolsters are to small for me. I workout everyday and have a extremely wide back so its uncomfortable for me to ride in cars with narrow bolsters.

My backs almost to wide for the camaros seats but they fit me just perfect. Other then that though the car is really nice. Its only had 1 owner and only has 13000 miles and he picked it up for 36,000. Pretty good deal if you ask me and he still has a warranty left on it.

I think hes going to pulley it down and have Jannetty tune it and get some more power out of it. I wouldnt buy one over the Camaro though. There is just something about Fords even in their pick-up trucks that the engines while they make good power they just dont seem to pull as hard as the LS series or even the vortec 5.3's. To me my LS3 when I just had bolt-ons seemed like it pulled harder

4 paragraphs, 2 of which talking about his "huge" back. Hmm...

I don't know how you can compare your modded car vs a stock car, and you ain't foolin anybody with your butt dyno comparisons either. These cars have already been compared professionally with measuring instruments (not butt dynos) in a bazillion different magazines, so yeah - what's your point, except for letting everyone know about your back issues?

C5RocksC5 · 10-15-2012, 12:46 PM

now go play with him AFTER he has modded his car and come back and tell us again about how you thought your modded SS felt stronger.

$36K almost seems too low for a 2010. Hope everything is ok with that car.
