Yes I testdrove the new SS when it came out in 2010 with my tongue hanging out and money in my hand.
But after the testdrive I was very disappointed because of the lack of visibility...
The missing hatchback sealed the deal for me as reason to hang on to my gen4...
With the new for 013 backup camera I might give it a second chance but quick lane changes are still scary...
The good news with regards to AFM is...they've improved its operation significantly compared to the current system...and there is a button in the new Corvette that lets drivers turn it off. It's part of that driver mode selector I mentioned...I would hope they'd include that in a performance-minded Camaro, too.

Quick lane-changes?? Be aware, man!! (Or use those ridiculously-long side windows to see what's next to you!
