A turn of events...
So a friend I work with is just as car crazy as I am, we've both been looking at the new Camaro religiously and it turns out he won one. Apparently when he went on a cruise this summer he just filled out some random sweepstakes and it turned out that the grand prize winner will be recieving a Camaro SS. He is still getting the details ironed out but it's official he will be getting one.
Anyways he currently owns a Pontiac Trans Am I wanna say it's a 99', with a lot of mods on it. It has 520+ rwhp and has insane torque, plus a kickass monster exhuast.. He might have to sell it since he will have the other car and I was actaully considering purchasing it. The chances of me getting this are slim to none. If I do somehow get a shot at buying this car how much trouble will I have adjusting to the vehicle. Notice I haven't ever driven any type of muscle/sports car and the only v8's I've touched were my brothers trucks. I currently drive a 2001 chevy malibu LS. It's a V6 with front wheel drive and a pushrod engine. I was actaully hoping for the v6 camaro to help with the transition from front to rear wheel drive and it's a nice step up in power not too much and not too little. But the Trans Am will be significantly less money and I'd have a new car sooner. So what kind of precuations would I take going from a malibu into the seat of this monster?

I guess I should give this man a name. We can call him "Tim". Anyways. after he told me the news and asked if I was mad at him.... I replied...
"I don't think so, Tim."

Well turns out "Tim" isn't getting the SS. Evidently the people hosting the sweepstakes couldn't get a hold of one so they are going to give him a new ford explorer or $28,000. He is going to take the money. Still a good deal, not as good as a Camaro.. but still. I didn't think so, Tim...

who the heck substitutes a Ford Explorer for a Chevy Camaro? what kind of bait and switch BS is that? I'd have said, "hell no, get me the Camaro SS!"
this thread really does crack me up, though
