i came from a cobalt ss turbo and no regrets love it!!


or if you can find a used 1le go that route!

A V-6 manual is by far the best bang for the buck. And no A8 issues,which is a bonus!

I don’t think so. $29k MSRP gets 335 hp. With a 1SS MSRP is $38K and hp is 445. So for a 31% price increase you get a 33% increase in hp, not to mention the other differences. The best value in Camaros is the SS 1LE which will outperform cars that cost three times as much.

455hp

And according to drivers on Fuelly.com, the V-8 only loses about 2-3mpg over the V-6.

Good luck, hopefully it doesn't have the shudder. Hopefully GM can get this shudder issue resolved. Mine picked it up just before I put it away for the winter. Either way they are awesome cars. Can't wait till spring to get mine out.

Sounds like we are getting a bunch of snow in Toledo, take it easy till roads are dry.

I've read it's actually a lot more than that. Hennessy dyno'd a stock 6MT 6th gen SS and it laid down 431 to the wheels. With 15% drivetrain loss, that's more like 500. Other sites have dyno'd anywhere from 411-426 at the wheels which is more like 480-490hp

Yes sir, thanks neighbor! I've read anywhere from 3" to 11" LOL! Either way not picking it up till next week. I'll be using the WRX AWD with Michelin X-ice's this weekend

Camaro bought, winter tires on and couldn't be happier. It's just a whole new level of fast. Pristine in every way.

During the test drive I couldn't get the tranny to shudder after reviewing what I needed to do to bring it about. I bought the car 2 hours up north, so the drive home on i23 I tried to make it do it. I think i "succeeded" a couple times, but it was so short and so slight it's hard to tell. I couldn't tell if it was just a few bumps on the highway. Tried for two hours. If what I experienced was A8 shudder, I really don't care. I had to have the radio off and be actively feeling it out, and I had to try and make it happen. It's CPO so I might tell the dealership is really bad just to get the flush.

Anyway thanks for all your guys help!!!! Truly truly truly appreciated!
