My review of the 2LT/RS - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Camaro Bruce · 05-28-2009, 11:31 AM

Well Im off all weekend, so I can make a trip out to beachside, when are you usually up there?

caverman · 05-28-2009, 12:01 PM

What about the power? Are you happy enough with the V6?

Also, what kind of MPG are you getting?

Nice review. How do you like the leather? I'm not sure if I want it...

I test drove a 2LT/RS at the dealer i ordered my car from yesterday. All i can say is wow!
That V6 is amazing! Quick...hell yeah! And its fast too! My sales guy told me to get on it when we were already doing 60 and it got to 115 pretty fast. everything in the car felt right, like it was built for me, very impressed. When we left the dealership he was driving and as we left the lot he opened it up and we fish tailed around the corner with traction control on!!! the only noise you hear when driving down the highway is a bit of rear tire noise but thats it. As for the visibility, i thought it was pretty good. except when backing up, im used to looking over my left shoulder in my truck and that wont do you much good here. But if you use the mirrors and look over right shoulder its fine.
I didnt even notice the rear view mirror on the windshield so no blind spot from that for me. If anyone wants any info that i may have missed or didnt cover just PM me and ill let you know what i know.

I actually live on it. See below. I have plans Friday, but Saturday would be cool. Most likely show up around 8pm at Lou's or we can meet somewhere else.

but maybe you should have started your own review thread?

.

As stated before, I don't have any problems with looking over my shoulder. I can see fine. I do use the mirrors more though.

Nice writeup. So, you don't have your matching IBM sneakers ??

And you took a Blue car to Lou's Blues? How appropriate. Luckily it is not called Lou's Inferno Orange bar.

Are you going to be there this weekend? May stop by and check it out.

Glad you are enjoying it so much. Saw Audrey's car getting stripes on yesterday. These cars are just so cool. There may be one in my future someday...maybe...

bigd1276 · 05-28-2009, 02:43 PM

I'm jealous. Ordered my IBM 2LT RS back in November, still stuck at 3300. Yours must be an automatic? If you get time, post more pics.

RT21 · 05-28-2009, 02:51 PM

Thanx everyone.

Automatic. I ordered mine in November too. Almost changed to Manual too, glad I didn't.

SirBrad · 05-28-2009, 03:55 PM

Great review. I should stop reading these, it only makes me more anxious. I already drove the 2LT for a test drive, so I have an idea how nice it is. I really won't know until mine comes. Fortunately, right after I read this I got an e-mail letting me know my car should be arriving on Monday! Watch this be the longest weekend ever now.
