Thorough and profesional review of my camaro

had to repost this here so here it goes.

Hi forum I'm Bizaro I owned two 5th gens right now I have a 1le just wanted to share some honest opinions about this car. First I'll start off by discussing the #1 thing on car enthusiast minds the gas mileage. It sucks! The gears are so high I have to start from 2nd and immediately go into 5th just to maintain more than 13mpg and putting premium fuel sucks I spend close to 90dollars a week on this gas guzzler. The exhaust is nice but it makes too much sound everyone looks at me like I'm some ricer teen raging around town. I like red cars but this red is too much and why the black fake wrap on the hood??? So cheap. I hate how the car pushes me into the seat when I step on the gas my girlfriend always complains and says "why do we have to take this car why can't me take the range rover" and I agree with her the ride a way too bumpy for daily driving . The interior is poorly lacking as well I want supulent finished wood and trim pieces with custom butter soft leathers not this fake gm interior I am dissapointed. every night when my girlfriend tells me to sleep on the couch because her back is sore from the hard ride I write emails to gm complaining..I could go on and on but I'd rather stop because I have to go get the car filled up with gas thanks Chevy never buying your cars again.

Wow!!! Why don't you just unload the poor Camaro and go buy a Ford Mustang, you sound like you'd be happier!!!

I love my LS3 Green Flash, I just drove to NC and back, about 1000 miles and got an average of 23 MPG, maybe the 1LE is too much of a car for you!

Unless this is actually a sarcastic post.......

and learn to write. ow. i vote troll. no one is that "naive" on getting a v8 and expecting it to get good gas mileage. Ricer? really.. its a v8. even a v6 sounds non-rice. (no offence to any one).

get a prius. make your women happy. lol..

Maybe I can help. You should unplug 4 spark plug wires so you will only be running on 4 cylinders. That should help with gas and with the back pain you describe. Also GM had to cut cost so they opted to wrap the hood instead of painting it. Hmmm..the loud exhaust, maybe try shoving potatoes in the tail pipe will help. This may also reduce emissions by 100%. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with.

Sounds like you should've bought a ZL1 they ride smoother. 1le has stiffer shocks and smaller sidewal tires that cause the harsh ride. I believe that the black hood is for people that actually go to the track so the sun doesn't reflect into the cabin, I'm not 100% on that one. Off you're that disappointed you shouldn't keep it.

So...
1. You bought a red car that you don't like because it's too red.
2. You don't like being pushed back into your seat when you accelerate but you bought a 426 horsepower V8.
3. You bought a 1LE but you don't like a vinyl wrapped hood.
4. You bought a car with a loud exhaust but you don't like a loud exhaust.
5. Your girlfriend makes you sleep on the couch because... No, no I'm not gonna even go there...
6. You bought a non-luxury car and don't like it because it doesn't have a Bentley-level interior.
7. You bought a car that is optioned with a track focused suspension but don't like the ride of a track focused suspension.

That about sum it up? Did you somehow buy this car on accident? Did it just show up in your garage unannounced or something?
