Include me in the traded my SS club

I'm done with this car. Rough idle came back again, this time only after having her back for less than a week. This is the third and final straw for me.

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=363873

Trading her for an SS Sedan today. I'll probably regret this for the rest of my life.

It's been eventful, maybe I'll stick around to see what the 6th gen holds, maybe not.

Thanks everyone.

But it's still just a glorified grocery-getter, like the Charger.

Perhaps (and I know this may not go over well), look into the V6? If all the issues you had with the SS was engine related, but liked the car itself, it might be worth looking into.

Also...why not look into another SS? I'd imagine if your issue was widespread, we wouldn't have as many SS owners on this forum.

EDIT: I meant, why not look into another Camaro SS, instead of the Chevy SS?

At least with the Charger, you can go, "Oh, that's a Charger." Not, "Is that a Malibu?"

He had the L99, the SS sedan has the LS3.

Damn, Frank. "Don't get high on your own supply." Sorry to see you go but when a car no longer inspires one's confidence, it's time to make a switch.

The SS is a very, very nice car - a wolf in sheep's clothing. Best of luck with your new SS. Please provide us with an update and your impressions of your new SS.

I'd like to hear what you think of the SS Sedan. GM can't be selling a lot of these, seems like a performance Impala type audience for $10k more.
