Welcome! I did the same thing as you, although I traded a 2012 6MT Mustang GT base. I loved my coyote but this SS is leaps and bounds better in nearly every way (except for visibility, of course.......lol).

Just left a sour taste in my mouth. There were other minor things too, I think most of it came down to just wanting a different car...

As far as visibility, the Mustang was great, the Camaro not as much... but I like the fact that I sit "down" in the Camaro so I feel lower in the car which I personally like. Rear window visibility is almost non-existent... lol


So my Camaro, its a V8 (obviously lol), Manual, sunroof, upgraded HD display w\nav, dual mode exhaust. Love the quad exhaust but wanting to remove the butterfly's so its never toned down. On a side note, it was like a finding a needle in a haystack finding a 2SS manual here in Dallas\Fort Worth!

Have not had a chance to really get on it yet, most I have driven it is to work and back. Trying to break in the engine some before I stomp on it.

Got it. There is "NO BUENO". Glad you were able to jump to the Camaro family. These are awesome cars!!!!

Yea I agree... the new 1LT engine is amazing, more power and torque than the coyote, now the engine in the 350 is nice too though

You might try this for better visibility. I set my mirrors like this shortly after I got my gen 5 to eliminate blind spots. It takes a little getting used to when backing up, but once you get used to it I think you'll find your vision is even better then also.

My father does this and swears by it but it drives me nuts. He cuts people off without even knowing that they are coming up fast in the lane next to his. To each their own.

That's a 9k bath in 8 months.

LOL He has them set wrong then. You can literally see the car in the mirrors until the nose of the car is right next to you. It took me a while to trust it. I still looked over my shoulder for a couple months. Now all I have to do is check the mirrors and look to my sides. I assure you in Dallas traffic if I was cutting people off I would have wrecked a long time ago. Your right it isn't for everyone. Personally I can't trust an electronic device to tell me it's clear.

I think you bought the one I had my eye on ! You're right that it's hard to find a 2SS with 6sp around here.

My Gen6 and mom's Gen5 came from Classic. Nothing but good things to say about them.

The transaction went smooth, the sales guy didnt fill me up with BS, finance guy was clear and forthcoming.. I will defiantly do business there again!
