Drive a 5.0 stang back to back with your SS. You’ll have a new appreciation for how much fun your car is / torque it has. The stang feels like it’s pulling 500lbs of rocks, until it hits 3500 RPM. It’s easy to get used to what you have, until you try something else...

That's where I was gonna go with this. It's very docile while in traffic or going straight. Luckily, I have curves and on/off ramps to liven up my drives. 40mph is a hell of a lot of fun when you're over .9 g!

Yep. I don't own one, but it was a very surprising part of my test drive in a 1SS 1LE. It was fun shifting gears and romping out of corners in town, but once I settled into a cruise on the highway the only way I noticed I was still in a Red Hot musclecar was guys in loud Hondas and Nissans kept running up on me.
As you mentioned about 'slow cars fast, fast cars slow', I think it's the effect of normal cruising speeds being so short of its limits. For comparison, my 160HP FIAT 500 Abarth was hilarious to drive because I could wind it up all the time just darting around town and getting up to speed on the highway; I was able to use the whole car all the time. An SS needs a racetrack for that. |

For me, the ultimate daily driver would be a PDK GT4 or GT3
But that’s beyond my means.

I predict you will posting on here in less than 6 months about having sold or traded your car. Your post speaks for itself, you are just plain bored with your car. The only way out of this, is a radical change of your car or moving to something else.

OP's join date was Oct 5, he posts about the 1967 Z28.
Then he posts "THE TRUTH about my SS". Maybe your truth, but not mine. Please post some pictures of you and your SS, dedede. |

That's not going to happen. I've been in awe of this car for three years now. It's an early Trans Am race car for the road. I'll probably get a second car that's fun at any speed. If I sold the SS, what would I get for under 50K. I'm driving a winner.

Not sure what you expected people on a Camaro forum to say in response to your post. What was the purpose of the post? I respect everyone's opinion, but it's just that...an opinion. Perhaps the title of your post should have been "My Opinion of My SS". Because the truth is pretty much every member of a Camaro forum is going to tell you that owning and driving a Camaro (especially an SS) is a very rewarding experience. Boring is not the description a Camaro deserves. But, this is just my opinion.

I visited this site a hundred times before I joined and summited my first post. I thought the first post was great. It linked an article that showed that the 67 Camaro Trans Am race driven my Donohue is not faster then my bone stock 17 SS. I find that amazing, it's a beast but it's a very comfortable street car. The new car can corner better and it has much better brakes. I've got a 1SS manual with just two options, black standard wheels and the NPP exhaust. I'm not going to lie about owning a 35K ride.

I didn't read it as a problem with the car, just an interesting note. I was aware of it when I drove one because it was unexpected.
