Default I started a 2010 Camaro SS!!!

I went to the opening day Texas Ranger game and they had a production Camaro SS in front of the stadium with people checking it out. I was looking in the passenger side window when a lady promptly walked up to me and said "do you want to start it?" holding keys in her hand... My response being "F^$* yeah I do!" we walked around and I got inside. Looking at the key, its the same kind of key that you would get with an Audi or VW (but GM quality - not German quality) it started very nice. Once started the first thing I noticed was how quiet it was. She even asked me if I thought it was too quiet and I told her yes and she said someone else said the same thing right before me. It revved nicely but still way to quiet.

We have a lot to look forward to guys!

sweet

There are a million cats/resonators/dooflickies on the (true dual!) exhaust. Bet it would be much louder if the exhaust was freed up a bit

I HATE keys like that.

One would have thought they would have used a keyless push button start like in the vette.

Ugh...I despise those keys but love the car. I like leaving my key in the car while warming it up and taking my key fob inside for a bit then unlocking it when I come back out with the fob.

Ugh... they really blew it with the font on the gauges. Looks like default MS Word.

Same key as a G8. Have to agree on the gauges they look a little off.

I agree the push button woulda been better, but I have no experiences with keys like that at all, I'll hope to be lucky enough eventually to find out firsthand if I can get into a 5th gen camaro

I like the key and dont hate the gauges. I dont like the fobs because its too easy for me to walk out of the car with it turning or with the fob in the center console
