If you go fast enough you never have to worry about what's behind you.

I'm sorry that both my friend and I commented on the reduced visibility and large blind spot in the 5th-gen that neither of us have experienced in our 4th-gens . In future, perhaps people should keep their observations to themselves, and let people experience the 2010 Camaro how THEY want.
dont be sorry. everyone has an opinion and everyone has a different way of driving. not everyone will agree with you and not everyone is going to agree with me. lets just leave this one to rest.

No need to be sorry and it made for an interesting discussion. I'm sorry if my statements seemed critical of your observation. I don't doubt for a moment that the overall visibility from the 5th gen will not be as good as the 4th gen coupe, but I still maintain that proper use of mirrors will make it a non-issue for normal street driving. I'll be the first to admit if it proves to be a problem since my wife will be sure to let me know.

Not to be stereotypical, but that's my concern . I am prepared to deal with the issue. Again, it was just something I noticed about the car and thought was worth mentioning. BUT, I can foresee it being a problem for some potential buyers ... and as we know, some "drivers" are less skilled than others (not necessarily pointing fingers at members of the opposite sex ) so there COULD be an issue as some people start test driving the Camaro (and backing it into things behind them, or accidentally cutting people off, etc.).

That's all . No hard feelings. I'm probably more on your guys' side than you realize .

If you go fast enough, you will definitely be watching your rearview mirrors for those pretty red and blue flashing lights

But in the end, there is always somebody out there faster than you
