I drove a 2010 SS today!

no, its supposed to come with the orange interior. i wonder why this one didnt have the orange accent panels though.
#47
It looks to me like there aren't any interior trim panels installed. Don't the base cars even have the metallic looking door panels? I wonder if the orange seats were ready but they didn't have enough trim panels or something and since it's a pilot car they just left 'em off for now.

i was snooping around on camaro 5 and found this picture from the same car
Now if im not mistaken the 2 SS is fully mech adjustable seats.
My theory is that they intended this to be a 1 SS then just decided to stick on a gauge pack and the orange leather...
More to back it up... Look at the armrest on the door for both of these pictures... on the first (the 1SS) there is no orange stitching but then on the 2nd picture (2SS) at Barrett Jackson there is orange stitching... Then the reason is on the first pic (1SS) sides of the center armrest are more grainy and low quality plastic while on the B.J. camaro (2SS) it is more of a high quality and smooth and shiny enough to reflect my flash finish to it.

i hope that is enough to prove it is a 1SS!

Overall I would have to say I was disappointed that the car didn't have that major rush of acceleration I was expecting, but very impressed overall with the entire car and especially with it's quality feel. The seats were very comfortable for sure, I just found the more upright position a bit different than what I've been used to.
It's also entirely possible that this car could be quicker in the quarter than the LS1 f-body, but just doesn't feel as fast since the LS3 is such a smooth engine and also doesn't have that peaky nature of the LS1 (which tends to feel sluggish down low but then kicks in hard at 3500rpm or so and hits you with a rush of power)

Sure there is an extra 400-500 lbs of car to haul but the LS3 is plenty powerful enough to make up for it. I think time will judge this car well in terms of it's drag prowness.

out of all 3 (camaro, mustang, challenger) the challenger wins hands down. too bad they are too big and heavy. nevermind you need to step up to SRT-8 specs. camaros will make a good used buy when the price drops to match the low end interior.

Yeah, it looks like it has 1SS door panels and dash inserts.
I wonder what gives.
That's the way I would actually want mine (light gray interior w/light gray fabric door & dash inserts). I don't like the shiny, hard plastic inserts.

If that is a SS IMO its just too bland for a SS car.
I am no fan of non functioning hood scoops, useless badging and wings but that car looks really bland and generally boring. I love the design of the new Camaro but cant they spice it up a bit for the SS?

If the car has a VIN with 210 at the end it is a sellable car.
Will probably be used by an executive to drive around for 3-6months or so, but that car will be on a dealer's lot for sale within 6-9months.
The all new 2003 Cadillac CTS came out January 2, 2002. I have personally seen CTSs on the dealers lots as executive cars built in November 2001.

What is bland for it? There are alot of difference between this car you are seeing and a V6 car...

I can't state with any certainty exactly what the SS Camaro will do on the test track but the following articles are vehicles that in my opinion serve as good examples of where I believe we should expect the SS to perform.
Lexus IS-F
Aston Martin V8 Vantage
2010 Jaguar XKR

I did get the chance to go full throttle a couple of times, it feels about the same as a stock LS1 f-body unfortunately. I figured they would be quicker, but it feels like about a 13.3 at 105 to me. It's got 426hp, but weighs probably 3800 lbs so that obviously hurts performance.

Nope. Exterior is front bumper, emblems, and mailslot. Interior is gauges and SS on seats. I agree with the blandness. They both look too similar. (V6 has the better front bumper also)
