Thumbs up Captured Test Fleet Red Camaro pics & journal from roadtrip

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10822

Been following that thread for a few days now. Pretty cool that the pint sized driver (Heather) is updating on the road with pics and impressions of the car

And if you're in south FL keep your eyes peeled!

EDIT:
some guys went down and captured some videos of startup and revving!

She gives a pretty solid review of it, although it would be nice if she didn't just post once a day and leave. I hate when people do that.

I'm just waiting to drive it for myself at this point. The car looks to be very well made - hopefully I don't eat those words in a few years...

Cloth seats look much improved.
Binnacles for tach and speedo look cheap imho.

She shoulda strapped it to a dyno!

Thats cool. I can't wait to drive one and judge for myself. It's seems like it's a really well built car with good materials. I'm happy to see the speedo goes to 180 mph, now I wonder if there's a governor and what it's set at.

Seems like people are obsessed with the car in that Forum..I wonder how long the "fad" will last.

The car is no joke, it's almost assured to be a hit so I believe that much of the 'hype' is justified.

Probably as long as the car is being produced?

Just saw in that thread that Heather (person that drove the car across the country) said the car will be in Naples Florida tomorrow, Friday December 26th, from 10am-2pm and Bob Taylor Chevrolet!

Im from freakin MN and am down here only 30 minutes away from there for the next few weeks at my parents second home, so you can sure bet that I will be making a little trip tomorrow!

Someone correct me if wrong but the 4 gauge is only standard on a 2LT and 2SS I think.

Those aren't standard equipment, they're part of upgrade/option package so not all of the cars will have them.
