I really liked the Monte, with the exception of FWD, but after only 2 days with the new beast, I don't miss it.

Since this is the more mature forum that I'm a member of, I'll just say, "Congrats on your upgrade,' and leave it at that.

NICE CAR! I love the new Camaro's. My only beef with the 6-speed in the V8 is the clutch engagement. It's too spongy... I know it's a hydro cutch but it feels like I stepping into mud and then the engagement can occur in a different spot between uses. I've noticed this on two different SS's on our lot. I even had a customer come in and complain about his already. How does your's feel? If I ever got one I would still opt for the V8 but the V6 with the 6-speed and three pedals is an extremely satisfying car.
