How much room does this Camaro have for the driver? Can a bigger guy fit comfortably? Your new one looks great. I love to "hear" them. Thanks.

Beautiful!
That 6.2L V8 is a serious motor. I thought they came with 10 speed transmission. I showed the photos to the Mrs. and she liked it too. It’s a good thing they don’t come in my size!
You gonna fly that bad boy up to Mel’s show in Lapeer this Saturday?

If you want room, the Challenger is the one to go with. I'm not crazy about the Camaro's looks or trunk size. I don't get claustraphobic normally, but I do a little in a Camaro. Great car, I just don't like the box it's in.

Nice ride! Love the color.
The '16 and newer Camaro is one helluva performance car. They have a better chassis than either Mustang or Challenger. The interior is plenty roomy, and the "bunker" sensation goes away pretty quickly once you're used to the car. The small trunk opening was my main complaint... there's plenty of room, but the opening is small enough to be problematic.
Ours was an '18 ZL1. Amazing car... perfectly comfortable for daily use or road trips, and supercar fast around the track. Stupid fast on the street with 650hp. In retrospect, the SS is a more realistic street car.

Chevy did a good job on the latest Camaro design. Not so much on the previous ones.
Nice ride ! !
I love to see somebody tending to their "inner kid." Old school muscle cars were what we had in years past. Great fun, but today's "neo-muscle" cars run circles around the old iron.
I had a '69 GTO and it was a lot of fun in a straight line, if you could keep it hooked up. Heaven help you if you decided to turn or brake. Heresy alert: They were just old Detroit boats with big engines and manual transmissions.
Today, my weekend toy is a GT350. Yeah, it's not a Chevy. All of the neo-muscle from the big 3 are spectacular rides.
Congratulations!

Beautiful Camaro! I still remember buying my new 70 1/2 Rally Sport, 4 speed 350. Camaro gold with black interior, loved that car!
OP
I too have heard the rumor of Chevy discontinuing the Camaro for several years now. My salesman said that's all it is, a rumor.
I drove my first Camaro back in 1970 when my friend bought one and then lost his license. It was a Red 1968 RS with a 350 and a 4 speed. Only modification was traction bars. Did a fair share of racing on Woodward with it and I finally bought it from him after his father smashed it up. Put the drive train in another car and sold the rest of it.

We have a 2011 V6 car we love. 6spd manual and you can get 20 40lb bags of stove pellets in it (my wife thinks it's a truck sometimes). It's red too.

I've always liked the Camaro's and their Poncho counterpart, the Firebird. But the last time I priced one, the insurance was almost the price as if I were to buy a Vette. I bought another truck instead.
Nice looking ride!!

Had a fathom green '69 Camaro, back-in-the-day. Love the pony cars!
I'm old now and don't believe I can squeeze into a pony car anymore. LOL
So...I bought a regular-cab, short-bed, aluminum body, Ford F150 with the Coyote V8. Put duel-exhaust on her and she rips!
About 400 hp and she weighs less than a Dodge Charger! Plus, I gots plenty of room!
These are amazing times!

Sorry, 2023 is the end of the Camaro, for the time being, at least.
A Camaro or a Corvette?
let me think about that..........

Having had both, the Camaro was the better car around town, and out on the open road. Easier to get in/out of, you're a bit higher up so you can see better in traffic. The Camaro was quieter out on the highway, though neither are "Lexus quiet". There's only so much you can do with the noise of four giant steamroller tires. Better ride in the Camaro as well.
If we're talking equivalent year and power level, the 'Vette probably has a slight edge on the racetrack, but most drivers aren't going to get that close to the limit. On a mountain road, either one will easily reach imprudent speeds long before getting anywhere near the limit.
And, IMHO, the 'Vette no longer has the 'cachet' that it once had. They're produced in huge numbers, and depreciate like a brick out a 3rd story window. The new C8 is an amazing car, but looks like a Hot Wheels toy. That doesn't mean I wouldn't like to drive one, especially on the track...
I don't think we'll own either again, but if we did, it would probably be a '16-current SS 1LE Camaro.

Yes, a 6 speed.
The thing I like least about the new Camaro's are the interior color choices - black, gray, or white. How about a nice tan?
