Honestly, before I started researching 2016, I didn't really consider the Camaro all that special. They were getting long in the tooth, and at least in my area, there were a ton driving around. The only Camaros that would catch my eye were the Z/28s or ZL1.
When I bought '16 Camaro, I didn't tell anyone at work. But by the end of the day, I had at least a dozen folks come up and complement me on the car. Most wanted to see it up close, so of course I obliged. =)
- For the performance oriented folks, they loved the V8 rumble, NPP exhaust note, and when I went into the horsepower and 0-60 numbers were in disbelief. I tell them its essentially a Corvette Stingray with a back seat, so I sold my wife on the family practicality of the car and point to the car seat in the back =)
- For the styling oriented folks, one peek inside to see the red/black interior and they were blown away... the neat HVAC controls and color changing led light strips are just icing on the cake.
- For the technology folks, a quick demo of mylink, the screen in the instrument cluster, apply carplay, in car wifi, ability to tweak the MRC suspension and NPP exhaust configuration, bose audio, and they leave quite impressed with the amount of tech GM packed into this car.
I honestly wasn't expecting this much attention from my new Camaro at work. It's week 2 ownership, I still regularly get people at the office complementing on the car and wanting to see it up close.
