2016 Camaro RS

Post by JEBar » Sun Jan 15, 2017 12:12 am

Historically when we purchase a new vehicle we keep it for 10 or more years .... in years past my wife has had 2 other Camaros .... both of which were totaled, both of which protected the occupants .... in March of 2016 she decided she wanted to look for a replacement for her 2005 Trailblazer .... considering our ages, its was and still is realistic to believe that this is highly likely to be the last one for her .... when she saw the Camaro below, our search ended .... without question, its one of the nicest vehicles we have ever owned .... loaded with features like lane change clearance warning, even air conditioned seats .. :? .. it corners like a sports car and, somewhat to my surprise, its ride is outstanding .... I could literally travel cross country in it .... its hard to believe that its 6 cylinder engine generated 330 some horse power and cruising on the interstate, cruise set at the limit plus 4 mph, she gets 30+ mpg .... keeping in mind that we travel about 6 months a year, she's put a little over 5,000 miles on it .... we kept the Trailblazer because as nice as the Camaro is, it doesn't accommodate child safety seats for our grandchildren .. :D

Beautiful car inside and out, I really like the color and the design. The gas mileage is very impressive. What brand of polish do you use on it?

Very nice looking Camaro and a real nice color. Hard to imagine the power they get from a V-6 engine now. I remember the Camaros and the Nova in late '60's and early '70's with the 350 V-8 was factory rated 300 HP and now a V-6 has that and more with good gas mileage. I wish they could give the V-6 the V-8 sound then they would have it all except the torque of the 8. My Tundra comes closer to the V-8 sound with the dual exhaust on the V-6 than about any V-6 I have heard. Manual trans available in the Camaro? I am still a gear jammer at heart. Went to look at new Mustangs with my wife and was shocked to see the manual trans even in the V-8 Mustangs was made in China. Ended the deal for me right there.

it came with a flawless clear coat .... guess we will have to check with our dealership and see what they recommend .... it isn't black, as I remember they call it Night Gray Metallic (or something like that) .... it shines like black but doesn't show dirt anywhere near as bad

we test drove a V8 and its sound is incredible .... its get up and go was impressive .... for what we need/want, we just couldn't justify the expense, lower mileage and requirement for high test gas .... she ended up with a Rally Sport model that has the top exterior and interior of the big boy but comes with the V6 .... when you step down on the go pedal she does generate a solid rumble on the outside and is amazingly quiet on the inside .... as noted, I've been very surprised by the quality of the ride, it is much better than the ones she had in the mid to late 90's

white cars come in many different shades .... our daughter has a 2015 white Camaro that looks like the lady ought get out wearing a long black formal dress and the guy in a Tux .... my wife's looks like Bat Girl ought to step out form behind the steering wheel .. ;) ... that is specially true with its very bright LED front lights
