My led DRLs will sometimes put on a light show at intersections or while driving now. Guess it's time to replace them

It was the auto in nightfall grey metallic with the tan interior. In all honesty, the handling felt a lot better, but that was it. It was kind of a let down. I expected it to be mind-blowing but I was kinda disappointed. Does this mean I won't get one? No. I still want one. But it was too hyped up for something that didn't live up to my expectations.

You notice the difference in faster driving, especially going around turns and curves at higher speeds, if the 2ss you drive didn't have magnetic ride control, then it's no good. The 2SS I drove with mag ride was light years ahead of my camaro in high speed cornering. The acceleration get about the same but my car is on par with the 6th gens in that aspect because of mods. Essentially if you aren't going to be driving through curves high speed(which you don't) it probably is a better idea to get a 5th gen SS and build it, in terms of costs.

The thing is that your car on spray is 2 tenths off of the 6th gen quarter mile time. I'll bet if you kept your foot in it, triple digit speeds keep on building much faster than in your car or even a modded 5th gen SS. The handling is what I would've expected, maybe a little better in terms of ride comfort if it has the mag ride. But I just don't like the styling of the 6th gen. It's a bit too busy for me

I still prefer the looks of the 5th gen, if I were to get a 6th gen it would be a ZL1 and nothing else.

If I get a 6th gen it would have to be a SS, a 1LT V6 with a few add ons is almost at 1SS price range. Plus I've got that V8 itch.

what you need is a supercharged 2010 2SS/RS. I know a guy that has one.

Same or at the least a 1LE. But I also would probably pick a 5th gen 1LE instead

Yeah just get a 1SS with upgraded sound system, NPP, RS package and mag ride if it's an option and you've got the perfect 1SS

I think he needs a 2013 2SS that sounds amazing! I know where there is one for sale.
