I like the front end. I'm glad I got the 2010 2SS/RS. Have met alot of new friends on C5 and at meets. I don't think I would trade in my current camaro for this 1. Unless my Aqua Blue is brought back, i'm sticking with the 1 I have....

I'm really surprised that everyone is complaining. You all had way too much time to build up unrealistic expectations of what the car should be I guess.

Passion is better than apathy. GM can't make a car everyone is satified with but the industry does give you choices.

I will admit. The steering wheel is a head scratcher. Almost all car mags complained about the current design. I feel like they should have retained but refined the current look to appease complaints. This one just looks out of place.

Everything else, spot it. I love it. I'm just not sure I could afford it.

Car looks awesome, wheels, hood, exhaust

I think they missed it on the interior, not a fan of suede, especially on dashes and steering wheels

Maybe it'll stay looking good if you never drive the car.

Hopefully that'll be an option.

I feel for the folks that put any money down on the SLP's, Now they paid $112,000 for a camaro that's "not really" an ZL1. But, they'll still have more horsepower.

They said suede is an upgrade option, and leather is the standard feature.

The only thing I like about it is the quad exhaust and wheels. Everything else is just plain ugly. Suede on the dash! Who came up with that? The steering wheel belongs in a mini van, not a sports car. The steering wheel in the 2ss is one of the best interior features, IMO. I was worried I would want this car over my 2ss. But now I am glad I did not wait for this one. They really missed the mark on this one.

All good but dual mode exhaust is just a marketing gimmick.

Wow, so Lamborghini Gallardos are using a mini van steering wheel, who knew?

Blackhawk6 · 02-10-2011, 07:42 AM

I just plain like that car...........................

htron50 · 02-10-2011, 07:50 AM

I heard MINIMUM 550 hp during the webchat. I did not hear that LS9 would not be an optional upgrade. HMMMMMMM ???? Now that would give the ZL1 a little higher tag close to $60 for those of you with bucks to spare..........

Dealer Camaro Volume Listing needed by anyone with inside info on this nice subject! Thanks in advance!

The
fog lamp area includes air intakes designed for brake cooling.

I have a feeling that the fog and daytime running light design is not final and we will be seeing a single fog light set up with a functional brake duct.

This thing is just plain baddd! I love it. I wish I could afford it! I give the thumbs down to the steering wheel (even though I like D-shaped steering wheels) and the CTSV shift knob is take it or leave it...BUTTT I'm squabbling about minute things.

Overall I can't get enough of this thing

Some people may have had expectations at supercar level, or maybe they wanted this or that, etc.

I , myself, had no expectations, so when I laid eyes on this, I was super excited about all of this.

PS - I want those tires on my Camaro -great looking choice.

Good Job Chevrolet, I support this car 100%

Repeat: Suede is an OPTION. It's not a standard. If you don't like the suede, Chevrolet is giving you the option to omit.
