Attention new owners

The first couple of months with this car were incredible but honestly now that I have put over 20k miles on it...i can say that this car gets better with age. It's something I have noticed previously but these last couple of weeks the car has been the best I have ever felt it be. It shifts much smoother, feels like it accelerates harder, and just overall feels like a different beast from when it was new. I have access to another sixth gen with only 3k miles on it and drive it almost daily for a couple of miles and that thing just doesnt feel the same. So if you are a new owner and love your car, know that it gets better from here.

How in the hell do you have over 20k on your Camaro? LOL Your trade-in value is going down the hill really quick.

I've got 7k on mine- and would agree about it getting better with age. MPGs and shift feel are all improved. i can't say much about acceleration though, that feels the same to me.

Like fine wine.

It sounds like you and the Camaro have bonded nicely over the last 20k miles and now man and machine have become one.
