Guess I'll get this convo started, the 2016 should be a pretty good car improving on the last model and thrashing the new gen mustang (non 350r) an about every way. It's lighter than the mustang, and the v8 models are pretty much track ready (diff/tranny coolers, V6 has option cooling package). It also has a t4 option. It is still heavy V8 wise, visibility is still a issue and it's pricey. But they have people running 12.04 and lower stock.

What a six-foot-tall Camaro driver looks like:

Actually have more people complaining that it's too small on the inside with the lower roof

I sat in a SS model about the month ago, just to see what the ergonomics are like. The telescoping function on the steering wheel has an excellent range and your knees won't hit the trim around steering column.


You do sit low. I guess the seat was at the lowest position and the "ears" on the instrument cluster were blocking the view some ( I'm 6'1). I'm not sure why they even have those.


It's way bigger on the outside than a twin, but the interior seemed about the same size. Trunk is big, with a ridiculously small opening.


Price aside, I'd like a FR-S + power experience but I think the '16 Camaro is not it. After owning the FR-S for 2 years, I still love the way it looks and drives, too damn much.
