Default Took a ride in new camaro with GF

The girlfriend's dad brought this one home tonight, and it was pretty nice, even though it had 3 bodies in it. It was a black auto, but it still had very good pick up, and maybe its because I own a 4th gen, but the interior was not as bad as most snobs would have you believe.

No torque gauge as well is a definite plus At least I didn't see it in the 4-gauge cluster in front of the shifter.

I'm sure this thread will get updated with a few pictures, but overall feeling of the car was pretty good, not super impressive, but way better than the challenger/mustang counterparts.

Damn, I'm very jealous.

As for the torque gauge, it got replaced... with a battery meter, I think.
