So how bad are the blind spots?
I got to test drive a 2SS briefly and I honestly wasn't paying too much attention to the blind spots, just how the car felt and it was on a back road with no traffic and wide lanes so I was not concerned about who was in front or behind me.
I've been reading and reading about the Camaro and how terrible the blind spots are and it worried me a little. I'm used to driving a lifted crew cab truck so I'm partial to looking back out of the rear door glass to see what's there. Are they THAT bad? |

Learn to set your mirrors properly and there are ZERO blind spots.

Yes but you learn to adapt. Just hit the gas and you don't have to worry about blindspots.

I do think that the blind spots in the camaro are pretty bad, BUT,.....if a person just pays a lil closer attention its nothing that ya cant get used to. I like that my 2012 SS has the rear view camera. It helps alot when backing out of my drive. But in the end,.... there has to be some kind of trade off when you build a car with that chopped top look.

I have no problems with my blind spots in the vert. I had a few issues when I had my 2010 though.

They're nothing you can't get use to. First couple times they are bad but you get use to it.

I read that too and was concerned but it is complete BS - I have Zero blind spots - My wifes Tahoe is way worse - the head rest on the back seats totally block the side view.

If you haven't found the blind spots on your camaro yet, you aren't driving safely. It's not the worst I have owned, and they are pretty easy to get used to, but they are definitely there.
