    Hi all...I just bought my first brand new car, and I wanted to show it off. It's a 45th anniversary edition 2012 2SS/RS Camaro

    Basic stats:
    6.2l V8
    426 HP
    420-ish lb-ft torque
    0-60 in just over 4 seconds
    GW: 4700 (she's a bit of a beefcake)

    Pictures!
    The forum won't let me post pictures directly, so here's a text link to the album:

    I am jealous. A maroon SS with black stripes, black wheels, and a nasty sounding exhaust went by me today. I asked my wife why she didn't love me enough to buy me one.

    no problem, glad to help.
    That is the type of car that demands a garage to store in.

    Some black rims and limo tint and you'll be set.

    Very nice ride. Be careful, when we had a new Camaro - the husband got A LOT of speeding tickets!!

    Congrats!!! Glad someone can buy a brand new car these days!

    If anything I'd like to put a new cold air intake and a more aggressive sounding exhaust system.

    I'm not a huge fan of black rims, and the tint isn't worth the extra attention I'd get from the po-po :-\

    It gets to sit under a covered driveway... Unfortunately for me, the garage on my house was built in the mid 50's, so there's no room for a car and the washer/dryer and furnace...

    Thank you very much :)

    If only I could afford the gas I'd need, if I had one of those. If you don't get at least one speeding ticket, you ain't doin it right.

    It's nice to see GM taking pride in their automobiles again. The new Camaro is a sweet looking machine.

    It really is. Even though I own one, when ever I see one on the road it turns my head.

    I don't see too many camaros where I live, up in the Rocky Mountains, but when I go visit my girlfriend's parents in newport beach you see a few of them rolling around there. I like the new body style but do think they could have made it a bit more aggressive looking. imo.

    Jump into the 2ss, and you'll feel how agressive these beasties can be :)
     
  17. Eddie Getting Tilted

    Yeah, I'd like to take one for a test drive just to see what cooking in there. My gf has an audi rs4 which is pretty quick too, so I definitely get my speed fix. But I need to be careful when I get behind the wheel of a fast car. I have a lead foot and it's gotten me into a lot of trouble.

    RS4 != 2SS :-p . The camaro is nice and rough around the edges....she'll eat you alive if you're not careful :)

    I'll always be partial to European horsepower as I grew up with a dad who took me for rides in his 1967 porsche 911. But in high school I started to get into american muscle cars. GTO, Camaro, Mustangs. But camaros were my favorite. I just always liked the way Chevy's looked. Even the chevy trucks had the nicer lines. Although I have a 2005 F-250 now.
