Double Sharp Arrow Waistline Full of Energetic and Passion

Ah, a bit like myself, but I also have graceful side-thrust balletic.

Cabin filter on the Raptor a little surprised how filthy considering I change it often I guess if you have one take a look at it this is about 4000 miles of use

Looks like a lot of tree seed and pods. Parked a lot under the trees?

These are a mixed bag to change. Most are pretty easy with some of the Honda (My Dad has a newer CRV) which a about a 30 second job. We had a Infiniti Q30 with had a tome of Mercedes parts in it and was actually built at the MB plant in the UK. That took about 2 hours or more to change the first time and about 2 hours from then on.

Even stranger the fuse box for the whole car was in the floor under the carpet on the passenger side. There was nothing under the hood, every fuse, breaker and relay was in this floor thing. I've never had to pull out a car manual just to find the fuse box before and the the chart for the location of each was only in the book. Don't loose the book or you can't do anything. Worse it used the MB Keys and no one was able to program a new key for it. I went to about seventy places including multiple Infiniti and MB shops, every key place that claimed they could program the keys for any vehicle and even the factory tried to program two new keys and I could never get a new key that worked.

Invest in having a team of people to run alongside the car and relay what’s happening in the outside world as you drive through it….because you can’t see shit out of these Camaros. It’s like looking through the gun slit on a tank.

The Automatic will drive you crazy. After every key reset (Start/Stop) it will start out in first gear the first launch. All the other stops it starts in second gear until you cycle it off and on again. At least that is the way the US one is. There may be a set of buttons and pedal presses that disable this, but do you really want to do that everytime you start off. The panels around the back seat are a wall of the cheapest plastic you have ever seen(Notice they don't show pictures of it). I do like the red seat inserts. Even with the magnetic shocks you'll feel coins on the road like they are boulders. Now if it is the V6 version then I have not experienced those. I'd give it two weeks until you realize it was a bad mistake and not worth the low cost of entry.

It looks cool, that's all I care about. The roads here are all 7 lane motorways, zero fun driving here.

I owned a 6th gen ZL1 Convertible with the 10 speed automatic.

Michael is right, the interior panels are some of the cheapest plastic known to man. It looks and feels cheap in the back and the lower door panels.

I don't think ride and visibility are real issues with the car. Mag ride is very good and visibility was only an issue with parking, but that goes for most low slung cars with front splitters. I have a C5 Z06 with a roll cage and dark tinted windows - the Camaro was no worse than that car. The 10spd automatic is a damn good trans is you don't want to shift yourself - do they offer the model you want in a manual?

I think my biggest issue with car was the exterior dimensions compared to interior space. I'm not sure how they made such a giant car with no interior space. My E93 M3 is a foot shorter front to back and 8" narrower, but it has more interior space. Drive one if you can, they're pretty capable cars. Just huge on the outside.

It looks dope. I'm in.

Well, farts. The car I was going to buy sold.

What happened with the second one?

What happened with the second one?

It’s still available, but it feels like flipping a coin now and seeing which one you really wanted. The other one has an aftermarket tint job (not the worst I’ve seen, but I don’t particularly like having tinted windows) and a ducktail-style spoiler, which doesn’t look bad, but isn’t as appealing to me as the car’s stock shape.

It’s a clean install, might even have been a dealer-installed option for all I know.



But I’d fallen in love with the white one.

Nice wheels. Spoilers and tint can be removed within 15 minutes. Black is good.

Do it.
