I hope you guys don't condem me for this because I do love the camaro. Funny thing is now my wife is going to trade her explorer in on a 2Lt/Rs. So I guess that evens things out. Maybe, I'll trade up for a Z28 if the make them.
What problems with the SS M6???

Yeah what problems? The ls3 is a proven engine and the tremec is a proven tranny. Only problems I read about was the V8 automatic.

You guys are killing me with all the rumors. How does a tranny just break? This is the first for this one. Stop the insanity!

By the way, congrats on the GT. Nice ride.

Ps . Please don't let this change your mind about the camaro. I'm sure it's a small #. The main reason I moved on was what happen to my order. The camaro is a great car.

I must be missing a pretty important thread, which is possible since I've have not been online much lately. I have heard of problems with the V6 M6 & the L99, and only know of one SS m6 that has failed. I guess I need to catch up on my readin.

Maybe, people are just being too hard on the car.
Oh, no worries here. I'm not buying anything till next year anyways. Kinda broke. But it's the camaro's rep here that I worry about. I'm guessing some people are being hard on it. (which shouldn't matter, the car should handle it) But I have searched and found a couple complaints about it, but a few out of 15,000 cars sold. I'm not about to consider it a major issue yet. We will see.
