Ain't complaining - well, maybe just a little about the slow SS

Why are you comparing these?

Well for one thing, the fact that he's comparing these three cars at all in the first place says a lot about the appeal of the Camaro SS.. It looks better than both of those machines he has and is half the price of the Viper and almost $20,000 less than the GT500.... I paid $32,000 for my SS after taxes and tag.. Overall if you think it feels slow off the line compared to those two monsters above stock for stock, then unless you spend those extra $10,000 to mod the Camaro to give it those extra horses, 427HP will still feel slow to you.. Remember that the Camaro having the same engine as the 2010 Corvette is still slower mainly because of the extra weight that it carries. The Camaro is a great looking car that will wake up after 1,500 miles or so and after your first oil change so give it some time and you'll see it has a little more punch to it than you are feeling now. However it will never be as fast as your other cars unless you do something to make the Maro faster..plain and simple..

Special edition car

its not really that hard to get on for MSRP. Most dealers have figured out that if they dont sell for MSRP, you will go somewhere that does

My god you've done it now...You have mentioned that a camaro may actually cost more than 34k. You have opened Pandora's box.

Incoming stories of incredibly low prices of Camaro's bought in some place in the USA and how you should order 4 states away and 12 hours drives from your home to get one at these prices.

MY GOD MAN!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE???? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ??????

I never post but... you think the Camaro looks better than a Viper?

Didn't a Forum member get a 12.87@109 bone stock? Obviously, results will vary with conditions, and with driver ability, but that's really quick anyway you slice it. May just be a matter of breaking it in, and what exactly where the expectations?

Actually... The original ones in the early 90's where gorgeous, not really a fan of them later....

...Camaro looks better now.

My '06 Viper coupe makes my '10 Camaro look like the invisible woman. No way in hell I'd ever agree that a Camaro looks better than a Viper. LOL!

Yes I do think the Camaro looks better than a Viper..Don't get me wrong, the Viper looks great, however it all boils down to personal opinion..

Not saying it does, Opinions are like aholes. My opinion is the Viper never looked better than it did shortly after it's debut. The newer ones look, well, wierd to me.

And to me, the Camaro may never of looked as good as it does NOW...... uhh... wow... yea yea ok I went there.... We need a flamesuit smiley!!

I agree with you that the original Viper looks way better than the newer ones which seemed to have lost their shape.. Kind of like the 69 Vette's which looked amazing and curved making the newer Vette's look dull in comparison.. The Camaro is much curvier than the latest Vette iteration which is part of its appeal.. It has that 1969 Vette look to it in terms of styling.. The original Viper was just radically different than anything else on the road which is what the Vette was and now the Camaro is.. Like any new vehicle where there aren't that many on the road, the Camaro gets lots of looks. Especially because of Bumblebee in Transformers.. I just don't see it wearing out anytime soon since its already imprinted in everybody's head how cool the car looks... The Mustang has a long way to go in redesigning a new generation Mustang which looks better..



2006 Viper..In my opinion loses its nice curves..

I certainly do but I grew up loving camaro's. Vipers are cool but for me they borderline the exotic category. Camaro is easily the hottest "everyday" car available IMHO.
