Cross Country trip with 2016 Chevy Camaro RS

I am planning on driving cross country and I'm thinking about taking my 2016 Chevy Camaro RS which has a 6 speed manual.

Will the drive be comfortable? maybe changing the 20" wheels for smaller ones for less road noise.

Drove to Branson, MO which is an 8 hour drive. I wasn't fatigued at all. I was as comfortable as I was during a trip to Yellostone in our Hyundai Santa Fe. Space was tighter, but not bad at all. Love our 2016 RS convertible.

I drive from MT to my Mom's place at the Jersey Shore (Barnegat, exit 67 pkwy) twice a year. Just did the trip in October.

It's Frankly interesting about 80% of the time. Then again I like looking at farmland and open fields.

I wouldn't worry about your car...just take the trip.

I've posted this several times:

~4,150 miles to South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana (Little Big Horn). On the trip up, one day was 850+ miles and on the way home, one day was 950+ miles in the saddle (Sioux City, Iowa to Lafayette, Louisiana). Stop, walk, gas up, check the oil and strap in.

Simply the second best road car that I've owned (Jaguar XJ Premium was the best). It beats out the two Jaguar XFs and a couple of BMW 5 Series and a BMW 335i for comparison.

Hop in, drive safe, and have fun! Been on a round trip from Rochester to Syracuse in my brother's 5th gen SS. Great ride at all times.

I would sell mine if I had to drive it more than an hour. Between the drone and the uncomfortable driver seat it's unbearable.
