Beautiful Car

I have a 2LT convertible, and overall this is an amazing car. The ride and handling are great, and the power and sound from the V6 is outstanding. I still can't believe a naturally aspirated V6 can make so much power and sound so good with a stock exhaust. I am still getting nowhere near the rated mileage, but it may not be fully broken in yet and it is hard to drive this car slowly. The fit and finish of the convertible top it very impressive. The interior lining of the top looks great and everything closes out nicely. They obviously sweat the details on the top design. Overall I like the interior design, but the plastic on the console seems cheap and the sunvisors on the convertible are a joke. They couldn't be any smaller or more flimsy. On the plus side the seats are very supportive and comfortable. It's a car you can't wait drive and everyone loves to look at.

Awesome

My wife and I have previously owned Camaros and love the Ride, look and feel of the 2012 Camaro. This car is fun to drive as a car should be.

Nothing Like It

Nothing like the feeling of turning the key and knowing there's 426 hp just waiting to be unleashed. On the 45th Anniversary Edition, The metallic paint glistens in the sun crusin' around town. And to say the sound that resonates from within the dual stainless exhaust system is good is an understatement. Definitely worth the price. Just the feeling of of driving one of Americas most powerful muscle car alone i worth it. Boasting a more than generous 426 hp and 420 ft. lb. of torque. It'll get you where you need to go faster than what you're used to. If you are worried about fuel economy, After driving for 6 months dash says 21 average fuel economy. Not bad when looking at power figures. Now the bad. Fog lights are not controllable with hid headlamps. Considered running lights only on when headlamps aren't. Seats aren't real leather, but i don't mind it. Would rather have it the way it is. Lots of small little places to clean to make it look as good as it did when you bought it. In my mind it makes washing it last longer which is always a good thing. You learn not to rush and take your time. Finishing on a good note, overall an excellent car to drive throttle is sharp brakes are responsive. The only real thing wrong with the car are the blind spots.

Awesome

Awesome car, I love it so much so far. I have the 1LT and I just miss some features I had in my sunfire that are in the 2LT. Other than that, good car.

Design features inside and out are outsanding.

The 2012 LT2 Camero convertible body style is patterned after my old '67 Camero RS. With 20" rims, Pirelli wide tracks, and dark metallic blue paint, it is eye candy the moment you see it. The black leather interior, soft lighting, heated seats, Boston sound system, and an accelerator controlling 323 horses, makes this car an old man's delight...The optional tracking system paired with the ability to shift from an auto transmission to a standard shift ensure you'll never be bored exploring this cars performance. Looks like my old age will be more fun than I anticipated.

2012 Camaro 2SS/RS

Very comfortable car, much better than I expected. The handeling is much improved over the 10 & 11 cars. It does not lean excessively like the earlier models. The stock gearing is waay to tall. I will be putting on some 28 inch tall summer tires next year to get some extra twist. The power pass seat is great. I no longer feel like I'm sitting on the ground when we go for a ride (wife's car). I love the vehicle overall, I just wish the pricing was closer to a mustang. The Camaros seem to always be about $2000 more money.
