Congrats on making the right choice!
I see you're Long Island based. Have you joined ny5thgen club yet? I know the name is 5th gen, but it's a Camaro club for all Camaros (and a few select others) as well. http://www.ny5thgen.com/ |

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome!!
Sparco seats were really good i loved them.. i'm a bigger guy ( well kinda use to be ) so these were the only ones that would work for my body build... turning the airbag light off was very simple.. small resistor and BAM! no problem. my impression - i always wanted a rwd coupe.. so i started to explore my options.. i figured BRZ would be the best at first because i was planning on turbo-ing the car out.. i went in drove the mustang , and the challenger.. i hated both of them.. hence why i was like im not even going to bother with the camaro... but something kept telling me to go look at it at least once lol .. Drove the car so far for 2800 miles.. and loved every mile... i only have few complaints ( well if i have to nitpick ) again all these things i knew before i got the car but still ill post them .. 1. road noise .. i seem to hear a lot of noise from the rear end of my car.. seems there's not enough sound deadening 2. MPG - blah.. 3. visibility - blahh 4. seats don't recline all the way back 5. brake dust!!!! it's insane 6. loud clutch / shifter noise .. Honestly these are just things that kinda sorta bothered me but not enough to give up the car.. if i can go back i probably would have wanted to buy the 1LE ... but 1SS will do for now.. Here's the exhaust clip! https://www.insgy.com/media/13944257...308_3472438779 PS; sorry if i have grammar errors... #ESL ... lol |

Exhaust sounds good!
Are you going to put aftermarket seats in the Camaro? I may still do it as well down the road. The clutch should get better with time. In the first 500-700 miles it had driveline chatter which is normal for the TR6060 tranny since it's a beefy tranny. After 6 months or so, zero chatter and quiet as a mouse. Yeah the brake dust is annoying.. nothing you can do unless you change the brake pads. |

Welcome to the Bowtie Brigade! And, you're a better driver than me...no way I'd try driving mine in snow.
