Drove 200 Camaro SS

[bark3rd]

I got tired of my chevy buddies talking smack (they drive S 10's anyway) about camaros so I went to check it out for myself. I drove a 200 SS 6 spd for about 30 min and gave it hell. The car looks awesome but just did not feel as fast as mine. The power delivery is very turbine-like (boring) and not very exhilarating to drive when you are used to a GT. I know smoothness can sometimes make you feel like you are going slower than reality but I dont see this car beating me to 80 mph (after that if you really rev it it felt a tiny bit stronger). I launched it hard many times and it tracks really straight, shifting into 3rd was a leap of faith with all those other gears but I only missed once. the car was also very quiet, I could barely hear it. I didnt find the cockpit very comfortable and the turn signal lever felt like it would snap off any second. The car looks cool though and I got lots of stares (I miss t tops) but I can finally stop wondering if I would be happier in an SS! My car drives, sounds, and feels much more like a race car than the camaro. Plus, this 9000 mi used car was on sale for $27500- I paid 18K for mine with 4k miles on it with every option. I've spent about $1k on mods and I'll race that car as is any day! I tried to talk the salesman (cocky and condescending about my Ford) into a race but he was too busy, maybe next time. Anybody else out there driven an SS?
