I love on and off ramps, too The Camaro's handling and cornering limits are very far from what you can experience in the street, and even more so once you add power.

Come on now, the car is very-very practical. I can take my wife out and already have fun on the way. She probably gets bored stiff by me pointing out her separate A/C control, the butt cooler, the handy wireless charger and the ambient RGB footwell lighting to her the umpteenth time... but she always plays along, "they're nice, as long as you like them, A/C is enough for me I don't need anything else"

Oh, and I was able to pack 4 max size carry-ons into the trunk, along with a few extra gadgets. Who says this car has no practicality, sheesh
All my LT1's had that bang shift and never on my 3 C6's.
