Well V6 they cram a lot of horsepower into them these days but not enough torque to really feel the power. over 320 HP sounds nice but with only 270 ft/lbs of torque you wont really take off as quick.

Makes sence - the Mustang has a tad more torque than the Camaro.

Thanks Justin, I'll look into those! I just bought a special matte vinyl cleaning spray from the Chemical Bros for my stripes.

Amy, I agree that the auto felt slow. You figure the added weight, drivetrain loss, and only 1-wheel powering the car... it's quite a huge difference.

I was quite happy with the way the 1LS drove (obviously) because I left with it haha

Hey Mike...

Got something to help you pass the time at work, while you're waiting to go get the Camaro.

I think Chibi Mike may be offline for a while. In his new Camaro having fun.
At least I would.

Huh... what... I didn't pick up the Camaro and then drive a ton and get home at 10pm...

WHAT A NIGHT!!! I think Jenna loves this car as much as I do lol.

If you are my friend on Facebook, you might have seen a few of these pictures already. They are all just with my cell phone. I'll try to properly get a photoshoot with this car sometime soon.
