What do you guys think of the new LS Camaro?
Please before we start NO *V8 or bust newb* posts....I'm well aware
Bottom line is my Father is a new car salesman and he is able to get me a "decent" deal on a new 1LS camaro, at first I literally Lol'd but then started looking and surprisingly they come very well equipped.
This one is a 6spd M with the 2.0T LS comes with the touch screen, projector headlights and yeah,...apparently its not the old shitty stripped down LS I'm remembering
and of course it's got the 2.0T we all love.
This is more of a what do you guys think of the 2017 Camaro? anyone ever driven one? would it be any quicker than my cobalt? I've never bought a new car, and I still probably wont just wanna see what you guys think.

its not quite the 2.0l we all love, its the next iteration of it. still a great motor, still got a lot of technology that was worked through on our cobalts. i was saying before the 2010 got released that the base engine should be a turbo 4, and the ss versions a turbo 6 around 400-420 ish hp. save a v8 option for the z28 and special cars. turbo 4s and 6s are the future.
i havent ever driven one but i dont mind the cars. it wouldnt be faster than your cobalt stock to stock, the camaro still has a bunch of weight over a cobalt and just a little more power. but zzp has already done some good things with them, iirc they have one in the 11s already. if your looking for a good car to mod and be a little different, i think its a good choice. you will have the aftermarket for the rest of the car that any domestic v8 car has, and will have the support from other well known sources for go fast bits.

I just like the power the cobalt has but then again I can't compare them, I'm not going to lie I do like the car alot and if it had more power it would be alot better than the cobalt because of the refinement the camaro has and the new tech. You can't go wrong with a camaro and with the 2.0 version I'm sure it would be better since you can tune and upgrade better than the v6 (yes I know you can mod it as well)

Personally I think it would be a fun little sleeper once you let ZZP take it to the works so I would get one if it was manual and had a good price tag with the right options!
