My review of the 2LT/RS
Someone requested I do a review, so here goes.
I now have 225 miles on my car and the only problem I've had so far are the birds that obviously are Mustang guys. The car is amazing. #3, FBod, and Hylton and many others said that it would be more than I would be expecting and they are right. The V6 power is crazy quick. I don't know how fast it is if you understand the difference between the two. It puts you back in your seat quick.  Like someone started a thread about, the leather interior smell is awesome. The whole interior, from the gauges to the ABL is beautiful. Everyone that saw it was  The handling is really tight and sure. I think I will try some Autocross with it. I'll let you all know how that turns out. I've taken it around some tight corners and actually accellerated instead of braking. Those 20" tires holder really good. So good that there is no way you could do a burn-out without power breaking. The ride is really smooth. The visability is great!!! Srsly!! I really don't get the people who say you cannot look over your shoulder. I do it all the time and can easily see the car beside me, but I use the mirrors anyway. I haven't read any of the thread with the problems and gremlins, so maybe I'm missing something. I've had no problems with this car, except maybe i stare at it too much. One experience to share. Last Friday, I went to Lou's Blues biker bar/tourist bar and it was packed. I was taking it there, because a bouncer told me he wanted to see it when I get it. Amazingly, there was a parking spot right at the front entrance. It wasn't 30 seconds before it turned into a Camaro Car show. Since, FBod and #3 were so cool about showing us their cars and driving us around, I figured I would spread the Camaro love. So if anyone wanted to sit in it, I let them. I'm pretty sure GM sold a lot of Camaros that night. I know at least two, because they told me they were going to Rosner the next day. One biker had a custom with a V8 engine. He said would could trade for a couple hours next week. We'll see. It was really cool seeing so many people diggin the Camaro. Here is a picture, so you clowns can't do the worthless without pictures thing.  Anyway, that's all I can think of, so if you have any questions. Let me know.

Wow. Jealous! Thanks for the review! I also want a 2LT/RS. And the only thing that worried me was the visability. I even started driving me car with the mirrors the way it says to set them on the camaro. But you saying the visability is good makes me feel so much better.
Thanks alot. Beautiful car! |

Is that a black interior? I'm getting a 2LT/RS IBM too, and I had trouble deciding on which interior to get. I ended up going with the gray. I thought that would complement the instrument panel's colors well. How do you like yours?

Great review
 One thing about the non-issue blind spot you noticed. How tall are you? I'm 6'2" and definately need the seat as far back as possible with some lean to fit properly and in that scenario it does create a massive blind spot but maybe not the case for drivers at or under 6'. I'm just curious

Sadly, I wasn't expecting to stay there, so I didn't bring the camera. I was just going to show it to the bouncer then take off. So, no bar pics. I'll bring one next time...Friday or Saturday or both ... LOL.
