Finally test drove a Camaro SS
 

After waiting for almost a year (since it first went into production) to get the behind the wheel of a 5th gen SS, I finally got to do so today. I gotta say, its a bad ass ride. I loved the visceral exhaust note and acceleration. Initially I was worried about the visibility in the car, especially looking out the back. But the mirrors are big enough that I had no problems with it. The clutch is super light for a muscle car. I drive an Acura RSX Type S, and that has a very light clutch. But the SS is even lighter. Took me awhile to get used to it, especially moving the car out in first gear. But after about 5 minutes I got used to it. I drove a slightly used 1SS, so no four pack of guages and cloth seats. But I didn't mind. I just loved the way the car drove and sounded. The Brembo brakes are strong. It stops on a dime. My Acura doesn't even feel like a real car anymore now after driving the big bad SS. I may have no choice now but to get a Camaro. Man, what a car!:thumbup:

:chevy::headbang:

Having drove 2 different 2001 Preludes (basically same engine as your type-s) I agree. Waaaaay different feeling drive the SS...in a very good way! I found the clutch super easy, and the power is insane.

Yeah, you just got hooked. Your gonna have the shakes until you get some more. Congrats on the test drive, I hope you get your baby soon. What a car
INDEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbup::w00t::cool:

Now I know what Fbodfather meant by 'perma grin'. He wasn't joking. :D

Take the plunge brother and join the cult!

When I took my test drive in an SS, I just had to have it. I ordered my car the same day. I've never driven a car in which everything feels so easy!

iyt definytly mekes for phun tyme...

You have been bit by the bug now. You had best plan on picking it up soon!!

It's worse than nicotine for addiction, I swear...If I wasn't so concerned about driving someone elses car...I'd need a bi-weekly Camaro SS fix to stay sane! :laugh:

Glad you liked it!!! :D

Buy a camaro your life wont be complete without it

I gotta say when I finally test drove the SS, I was severely disappointed with the exhaust note...

Everything else = :headbang:

i didn't have to drive one.i just loved the looks of the car.
