I agree. That bolt on LS7 in the 5th gen was working pretty hard to pull. Took a few gears to get some MPH on the 6th gen. I thought this might have been posted before but wasn't sure. Oh well. Old tuna is still tuna.

Eh, the local one is loaded and it would be $50k OTD. I'm not sure it is worth that much money... They are for sure good performers, but $50k for a Camaro SS? I don't know about it.

Thank you sir, same goes for your C5. Love me some FRC's!

Dafuq? They are like $26k Base price... Get a 1LT A8 and race the **** out of it. The only thing a 2SS has over a 1LT are creature comforts, park assist, etc. **** all of that if you just want to race and have a nice daily.

Cam, Bolt Ons, a Tune and done...

This video has already been posted. But it really shows how dominant the 6gen is. It's clearly the Alpha Male.

They are most definitely a nice car and I was impressed. I just wasn't an extra $17k impressed

$26k? Where at?! I have yet to see, even a base model, for cheaper than what I was going to get a premium S550 for. If I buy a brand new car, I'm not buying it with cloth. GM interiors suck enough as it is, I want as many creature comforts that I can get.

I like the interior in my 08 diesel Chevy. And I like the interior in the 6th gen. Why the hate?

I prefer gm interiors. S197 cars were cheap imo.

I like cloth to.
