It is in my driveway. It's depressing when there's snow on it. I do have a 2016 Impala LTZ that's my daily driver. I'm getting so crazy not driving the Camaro due to the advice about not driving it with the summer/performance tires on it that I came up with the brilliant idea that I need to trade the SS to get a new 2018 2LT. It'll be new. New is fun for me.It will have all season tires on it and ok to drive below 40º. It'll be a downgrade right? As far as going from 400 horsepower to 335 horsepower?
I don't race and or drive like a 16 year old.( Occasionally maybe like an 18 yr old ) But I love the way it sounds and I like the low end torque, a lot, and the sound.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has moved from an 8 to a 6 without regrets?
I know I'm crazy when it comes to cars. Thanks.

There's a bit more to it than just the horsepower.. The V6 model weighs a good 400 lbs less than the 5th Gen SS combined with the A8 transmission and it brings the V6 model decently close to contending with the 5th Gen SS, not quite there.. but it's no slouch and is an altogether different car from the 5th Gen V6. What you will miss is the instant torque as you WILL have to put your foot into it before it wakes up, but when it DOES wake up... its not like driving a V6... it's something else... not quite V8 territory.. but its also hard to believe its a V6.
Edit: read and saw you got yourself one. congrats.
