Thumbs up Met A New Friend

Was cruisin down town tonight, and well wouldnt you know it, a yellow Camaro goes by! I go and catch him and we pull over and begin to talk-turns out he is also on Camaro 5! I have the 2SS/RS and his car was a 2LT/RS. We decided to swap cars and boy what a differnce! The 2LT 3.6L is NO slouch! I was truely amazed by the get up and go, and the V6 Camaro truely is, nothing less than a true Camaro. The clutches were also EXTREMLY differnt. Mine was very 'frim/touchy', and the 2LT was a polite, fine shiftly light feeling. Also the placement of resverse was differnt and I felt like the gear placemnt was also differnt, and int he 2LT, it had a nice R in the DIC. I also noticed the seemingly differnt weight varience. His felt lighter, and was actually funner to take around a corner. Had a great time, met a really guy and cant wait to cruise again!
These were taken at American Dream Machine, ironic, and at QT (We had matching gas tanks!-E-)

my SS has the RS Midnight Silvers. Is it just me, or does the TF stripes has a glossier finish than the regular stripes?

Cool story

Thanks for giving your impression on the diff between driving the SS and LT. I haven't completely decided which to get and your opinion was good stuff.

Without a doubt I love my SS, but his 2LT is much more mangable and easier to live with than my SS
