First of all, awesome review! Thanks!
Second, I follow this guy "Saabkyle04" on YouTube as he does awesome in-depth reviews of all kinds of cars. He recently did a review on the 2016 SS and it looks exactly like the one you drove! (also a 1SS/Manual) Check this out if you want more good in-depth info about the new Camaro:

Nice write up Jarrod. I would note that you and the other guy "Saabkyle04" drove cars with different license plate numbers.

The only sound deadening in the Camaro is the floorboard carpet in the cabin. There are a few (6?) aluminum 6"x6" "dead panels" about 5mm thick throughout the car, but basically the entire body of the car is a hollow box frame wrapped around that cabin. The only fix is to take the car apart and install deadening material throughout. There is an argument to use 105 vs 165 sq ft, but no matter how much is used, doing so will add approximately 1.5lbs/sq ft. Materials and labor can easily run $1,250-$2,000 (unless DIY). The vehicle will sound 100% better inside and lower ambient road noise 15-20db, but of course at a cost of a lighter pocket book, a week of labor and weight. |

It was really nice to cruise the forest with you guys. Thank you for coming out. It was even better to see the whole Camaro Lineup (LT, SS, ZL1, Z/28) at once too. James wasn't able to get all 4 cars at once on the highway though. That would have been awesome! |

I know James is going to come in here and post his pictures, but I wanted to post this one asap as it's one of my favorite of the bunch.
The track was closed but there was a lane open and the security guard allowed us a single picture. James made it count! |

So sad that white SS didn't make it to LA. Or if it did, sad they didn't have it out tonight.
