Dont get me wrong I love it. If i got an SS i wouldnt be able to keep swapping tires over, they are kind of pricy and as I said before i punch it every chance I get. Just an expensive car to upkeep.

sounds like you need a 4 seater anyway. When you get enough money in the future just buy another camaro

When I bought my camaro, I looked on Craigslist and found an 04 cavalier. I bought that and use it everyday. Since I bought it I put in probably 1200 bucks. Front brakes and rotors, shifter linkage and front struts. I'll drive it until it dies, or I pay off my camaro and can afford to pick up another car.

I absolutley love the truck. Its such a great feeling. Should be getting it in tuesday or wednesday! It was funny i was gonna go wrx and i was so certain. Then i test drove the silverado and was like forget about the wrx this is way nicer! And i dont feel guilty going from a chevy to a subaru, chevy for the win!

ok.

You will love your Silverado. Had one before I traded it for My Camaro. Never had 1 problem and it did everything I asked it to.

my way of looking at it if you have regular snow and dont have a reliable winter vehicle the Camaro is a bad choice. The Camaro was not designed to go in snow. I dont care if you put studded snow tires on it. It is still a poor decision. I can afford to by a new Z06 Corvette but I cant because I cant afford the vette or a ZL1 and winter 4x4. And seeing a beautiful Camaro covered in salt is horrible.

Pick it up tonight guys! Blue Granite Z71!

do the all season tires on the 19 inch wheels the LT come with do ok in rain and cold temps? i assume the vert and coupe respond the same in inclement conditions? i am looking at the LT, non RS package, as dont want summer only. would be my daily driver in midwest, but do have a truck for snow and ice. but, when its 39 and rain, would drive camaro. the RS/SS 20 inch summer only tires not practical. and it seems nuts to buy a new car with new tires, then have to go out in a few months and buy all new tires again.

Did you see the video of the Camaro on the ice and in the snow with those tires?

I've driven the 20 summer tires in the cold rain and I was fine. They start to slip and stick when it gets too cold going around corners.
