Haha, thanks! I'd been casually browsing Autotrader for a few months, so when it showed up, I knew it was a super deal and I jumped on it. Frankly I'm surprised someone didn't grab it before me.

Dang man helluva deal! Those do come up from time to time. Seems like 35-37 is the going rate for one like yours not in California. Hope to hear your review on it soon! Maybe it's time for me to list my ap2...

It's a completely different experience from an S2000, but evokes a very familiar satisfaction that comes from driving a car that feels special.. It's unapologetically American; brash, heavy, powerful, and intimidating.. It feels track tight and ready to pounce, but can be driven with ease even in the worst LA traffic. If you're on the fence, I can tell you with certainty that you will not regret getting one and will look back and smile every time you park it..

Isn't it amazing that we are talking about a Camaro like this. I remember years ago they were the butt of all mullet jokes and now they are one badass machine! Btw have you grown your mullet yet :-)

LOL, well I am originally from New Hampshire and grew up playing hockey in the 80's, so driving a Camaro is like being reunited with my heritage

Congrats on the nightfall gray? Camaro. Totally awesome ride!! It's such a great car and I miss my '16 2SS a lot. The SS 1LE's at the road courses around here are no joke with an alignment and some sticky tires. The put down some very solid lap times. Not to mention, they are actually pretty comfy around town.

That Camaro is a nice car for sure. I know Pontiac is kaput but if there was a new generation Bandit edition Trans Am I would be all over it. I recently ran across a show on Discovery called Trans Am that covers day to day projects at a shop that acquired the Trans Am name from GM so that they can make their own new ones and restore older models. I haven't watched a full episode yet but I assume they modify a Camaro and rebadge it.

Edit:
Just watched the first episode and yes, they have new Camaros shipped to them and they replace 350 parts on it to make it into a Trans Am complete with T-Tops. The end result is totally bad ass but expensive. I think the Bandit Edition is $150,000 with the best engine, an 800hp bruiser.

Why did you get rid of your SS? With what did you replace it?
