No regrets here. Probably because I knew what I was getting when I bought it. Don't care that it costs me $60+ a week for gas. Don't care that my coworkers think their car is faster than mine (most of them actually are). Don't care that it wakes my whole family up every weekday morning at 6 AM when I start it up in the garage.

I grin from ear to ear every time I'm behind the wheel. Definitely no regrets here!

Regret it.......ab-so-lute-ly!!!
I ordered it so that I could just tweak it in to the way I enjoy driving and have a more comfortable, reliable ride than the muscle cars I previously owned.
It is considerably less reliable than ANY car I have previously owned, it is comfortable (when it can be driven), and decent parts to get it where I want have been fairly pricey so it's just become a miserable money pit.
Hindsight being 20/20, If I could go back in time two years I would have bought another '67-'73 muscle car and bought a Subaru WRX,
kept the Suby stock and all the money I've dumped into the Camaro could have been used for the muscle car rebuild.
I'd have something fun, comfortable, and reliable in the Suby to drive on a regular basis and something cool to take to car cruise/shows in the muscle car. Oh well!:(

Drinking the cool aid? Not a hater, but I expect it is human nature to second guess decisions. I can't say I regret it, but there are other cars out there that I regret not owning as well.

Wasnt talking about anyone specific. But some people are trying to make it out like the Camaro is the biggest POS they ever owned. Find it hard to believe. Maybe just people dont take care of their cars, or maybe something else I dunno. Just weird that if someone hates the car so much that they would even be on this forum in the first place.

Because this forum should be a place to share information regarding these cars both good and bad. I can say that the quality on my Camaro has made it the biggest POS I have ever owned. But, GM is taking care of me so I can't complain.

If it wasn't for the convertible forum section, I'd probably still be fighting with GM and my dealership to get all of the problems corrected on this one rather than waiting for my new 13 to arrive.

These are nice cars, and there really isn't anything like them out there. And most of the owners are still happy owners, but it doesn't hurt to express the negatives as well.

I am at heart a big chevy man and I have had Corvette's and Camaro's before. I really wanted a new Corvette but being disabled it is to hard to get out of a Corvette because it is so low. And with it being so low I would have a very hard time washing it. I was super glad the Camaro came back and I kind of wanted to hold off till the ZL1 came out. The wife saw the Synergy Green and we got the 2011 SS. So I do wish I could have the Corvette, but I totally LOVE my Camaro.

"I can say that the quality on my Camaro has made it the biggest POS I have ever owned." Thats a pretty bold statement. I really dont believe that unless of course you have only owned high end luxury cars. I have owned 3 Chrysler cars and all of them were 10 times worse in the quality department then my Camaro. Just sayin

No regrets for me. The 1LE is tempting though. If it was available in 2011, I would've given it great consideration. The only real issue for me is the price. It would've been close to $40K after checking the 1LE and RS boxes.
