seat of the pants feel...no quarter mile times....and about the weight...I LOVE the weight and muscle of this car. The weight gives it presence. Love the size, the thumbs up and that rippin LS3. sorry boys ...dont prescribe to the choir on this site that lighter is better. rather have the weight and the power. feels more like a muscle car to me....big engines, big wheels, big brakes, wide car, lots of safety equipment....big transmissions, it all weighs boys,,,,IRS etc....if ya want the toys at an affordable price there is gonna be some weight.....

I've went and looked at the new Camaro more than a dozen times and I just can't get past that interior. Maybe in 5 or 6 years it will grow on me.

Jason,
I have noticed that too...the exhaust is changing...definitely more rumble....might skip Borlas...by the way....the interior is VERY liveable....super nice ergonomics and seats and shifter feel. dont know what all the bitchin is about. seats are fabulous, leather good, dash a little plasticky but I never touch it anyways. not a rattle. love the gages and the 4 gage pack. A lot of parts of the interior were very well executed. yeah a lexus and a bimmer have slightly better tactile feel but you cant get a car like this from them ...you all know that. cant do it all for this price point. I LOVE the big steering wheel personally. I find all these things have really grown on me as I drive it more. i love the flat surfaces on the shifter as they fit ones hand better. hate the weights on the brake calipers !! I will never be satisfied with that ,...never.

maybe so Vette Pro but the car feels way diffrent from new...more urgency, feels muscular, louder and a lot more pull in 3 rd gear when you step on it...maybe its all the good gas and Mobil1 ....
