Title: 2013 SS camaro
Post by: random-strike on March 10, 2014, 02:12:55 PM

i was in pittsburg on business and rented a 2013 ss camaro with all the options (automatic)

it was a really fun car the paddle shifters were pretty fun even with a torque converter. it was pretty fast too... sounded good. overall a pretty cool car. had the p zero tires on it too

Forgot to get pics, but last rental car I drove was a Jeep Grand Cherokee that I centered up on a pillar in a parking garage at about 30mph  :noel:

I returned a Mazda 6 with a construction cone jammed so far into the wheel well that I couldn't pull it out without removing some suspension. So I left it. ;)

Great motors, but they ride like shit and you can't see anything out of them.

I feel like gm really missed the mark on the look. I am NOT a dodge fan but the challanger looks the retro part, camaro fuck no.

i love the challenger and the camaro. it looks great in person. and it rode amazing with the 1le package and the pzero tires. big brembo brakes.

I'm not saying the camaro doesn't work, that's why they make good parts cars  :-*

the mustang and challenger definitely look more retro. but i still really like the camaro. i'd buy one in an instant. really would love to try the zl1. i'm probably buy a challenger and mustang too.

although i'd be a bit wary of buying another dodge w/ the suspension problems they all have, but i bet the challenger is great. ill rent one of those next time.

The 392/6.4 are apparently all blowing up timing chains now.

Challenger looks cool, but it's a Dodge and they are the worst.

ive never heard any problems with it and the hemi engine i had before was bulletproof. but i don't really keep up on them or anything.

id like to drive one of the new 5.0 mustangs, specifically a boss 302 and/or laguna seca version

lifter tick problems, blown engines due to valve springs. i've done to many engine rebuilds/swaps due to their shitty motors. HORRIBLE
