If I had this SS in HS I think I would have been "King of the Road" cause the muscle cars were fast (327, 396, 427) but had bias belted tires and laid a lot of rubber but not many could do 60 in 6 seconds. Lots of cars had "cheater slicks" but those couldn't touch these 20" Pirelli's that come stock. Plus our Camaro's take the lead in stopping from 60 to 0 in 111 feet. The other two competitors are well beyond that.

Guess I'll just have to take out my frustration on the SS or my CTS-V. Maybe I'll just get A ZL1 and be an old dude in a really fast car.

You already are a dude in a couple of fast cars! But go for it if you can get the ZL1. Why not? As for old.......................Well as we all know our Camaros are our fountain of youth! Welcome aboard.

I've been retired six months and still cannot get a sleep routine going. Slept late today (0700) but I'm usually up by 0530-0600. Not having to go to bed early to get up to a 0430 alarm has a lot to do with it. I guess not having a routine is one of the joys of retirement.

I can't wait to retire... I'm gonna drive all around the country and see all the pretty sites. If I could only figure out how to do it and get paid for it.

..... oh wait...
