The Dark Side

[Nidan]

I just got back from vacation , had reserved a GT convertible to rent , they were out so I ended up with a Camaro SS convertible.

I'd considered one when I got my 2011 GT .

Ups : decent power , back up sensor handy , heads up display was trick
paddle shift was nice.

Downs: despite wider tires (275's) handling was not as good, visibility sucks
the trunk is a joke both in size and access. The gauges are horrid, and gaudy
it SUCKS gas much more than my GT . Rear seat access was cumbersome.
Noisy as hell .

It was nice to get the 5oo+ miles behind the wheel , I'm SO glad I didn't buy one.

I'm pretty sure I would absolutely HATE paddle shifters. I just don't get the point of them.

I would love to have a heads up display.

I drove the Camaro and its like sitting in a tank with the slit windows. I do give it + for looks, but when I saw the 5.0 badge I just had to have one. Huge trunk on the stang, cheaper, faster, and new tech engine.

I didn't realize they put paddle shifters in Camaros.

I looked at buying a Camaro too. It's a nice car. I liked it alot. I just liked the 5.0 better!

I don't mind paddle shifters, except that they're almost always on automatics, which I'm sure yours was, since it was a rental. That's why I hate rentals.

The idea of having both hands on the wheel to push paddles that shift gears is just gay to me.

^I think it would really help if I was driving a supercar at 150 around the corners, but I still much prefer the standard stick. That's why the Lamborghini Gallardo Balboni is probably the coolest of them.
