Default Pull the trigger

I just bought a 2016 Camaro SS and can't explain the enjoyment I get when driving it. I have owned Camaro's as far back as the early 4th gen LT1's, and this one takes the cake. With magnetic ride suspension and the sports car exhaust note...it no longer feel like a pony car but more like the Corvette. I have always owned manuals and never cared much for an automatic performance car before I test drove the 6th gen. Between the way it sprints through the gears with the paddle shift and the roar of the v8 it will leave a big smile on your face. Go test drive one guys!






2016 Camaro 1SS. Traded in my 2011 2SS for it.

Can you actually see anything through that rear window? I did not realize how small they were until we went and looked this weekend

that hump that houses the speakers makes it look like you have three inches of rear window to see through.

I never sat in one so I could not tell what kind of visibility there was. Like you said it looks like there is hardly any viewing area from the speaker housing. 5th gen looks almost the same way
