2011 Chevy Camaro SS

Hmmmmmm. What does one say when they are faced with such a monumental task. One asks themselves again and again,  whether when the times comes, they will be able to take on the task at hand.Reviewing a muscle car that is in a class above all. Guess we will have to find out. They tried to make the Camaro look the part in Transformers, but I do not think they did this monster any justice at all. So something did come out of Motown that is worth talking about. The Chevy Camaro.This car does not just have  muscle under the hood, but the curves on this one are muscle too. It stands menacingly in front of you. I guess thats why they made it get up and go in Transformers, literally, because it has that look. For a car with a menacing look they sure gave it a good character,not, Bumblebee, are you kidding me? Injustice at its worst. I particular like the 20-inch ,5 spoke rims, and if you want it looking  the real deal it is , then  ghosted stripes are not a bad idea at all.

The inside however simple, comes top for the muscle cars I have been in. Very appealing to the eye yet maintaining that sporty menacing look, which is so adorable if you ask me. The Ford Mustang was impressive don't get me wrong but this Camaro has an interior to rival luxury motors. make sure you do not try and put people in the back sit, because they are going to be very uncomfortable, so much that after the journey , they will not want to talk to you again. You have the necessary gizmos and controls you need in a sports car, I mean why would you need more right.Visibility is a cause for concern in the Camaro because the design makes the whole outlook too compact. There is trunk space but not sure what anyone would want to carry in this car except golf clubs. This car is for those smug Yuppies cruising around on the weekend and those older gentlemen who are finding it hard to let go of their youth.

This is the look of a 6.2L 426hp V8 engine. One thing to be considered about how effective American muscle cars can be, is where you are driving them. In a straight line Muscle cars can out perform any car but when there are turns involved, evolution is a bit slow on these monsters because you can easily find yourself parked in a tree. It takes reducing your acceleration immensely just to make a turn in the Camaro. But while the turning maybe a bit tricky, I found the Camaro very solid and good to go. Response to the acceleration was not disappointing at all, like the muscle car it is. As you have come to expect the fuel economy is not too great but 16mpg City and 24mpg Highway is not bad for a muscle car. 0 - 60 in 4.5 seconds.  You can only understand this when you are sat behind the driver's seat. I am impressed by the Chevy Camaro. The Shelby  GT500 is a lot more agile than the Camaro but I am quite taken by the design and look of the Camaro. This is the only reason I would probably want General motors to stay in business because clearly some thought was put into this car and the transition from the old Camaro to this one is spectacular. Safety is nothing outstanding, just the usual package , airbags and Electronic Stability Control System.

Now I want to find out what all this fuss about on the Hyundai Genesis coupe and Nissan 370Z , and if they can measure up to my beloved Camaro. I know at just over $30 000.00, a Chevy Camaro SS is a very good buy. And if you are having a midlife crisis chaps out there, this car will make you bounce back with a bang without putting too much of a dent after that Alimony check.
