There is NOTHING like an American V8!
Emoto, Westerville, OH, 05/25/2016
2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS 2dr Coupe w/2SS (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
This is a driver's car. The motor is intoxicating - both in power and sound. It is the most performance for the money that one can buy at the moment. Unlike the muscle cars of a bygone era, the 2016 Camaro SS handles as well as it accelerates, which is high praise, indeed. The interior is comfortable and well-appointed. Plenty of legroom, but if you are tall, you may want to compare … head room in one with the sunroof against one without. The power seats DO go up and down with the electric controls; taller people may need to make the seat low, and tilt the seatback to the rear a little. The controls fall easily to hand. Magnetic ride and the adjustable exhaust are the way to go. Change from soft(ish) suspension and a quiet exhaust (Touring mode) to a more throaty exhaust and stiffer damping at the touch of a button. Set the ride to meet your mood or the conditions. Much has been made of visibility out of the cockpit. While no one is going to give the car a "great" rating on rearward visibility, it is certainly adequate. [one year update: 10,000 miles later, this car remains BIG fun to drive. Nothing has gone wrong or broken on it. Still a big "thumbs up"]
Fantastic

2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS 2dr Coupe w/2SS (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
Since purchasing this car a month ago, I haven't stopped smiling. I ordered the vehicle in November and although I was discouraged by the 3 month+ wait time for the build, it was so worth it. The styling of this car is amazing, the quality in comparison to the gen5 cars is on an entirely different level. The 2SS is everything I could ask for, the 6.2L is incredible and doesn't stop … pulling, can't wait for break-in period to be over....
The 2016 Chevy Camaro 2SS 8 speed

2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS 2dr Coupe w/2SS (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
When I first purchased this Camaro I really loved it, this is my 3rd Camaro, but after less than 18k miles I've had the Trans flushed 3 times and it's only getting worse by the day. I don't track the car nor do I abuse the car. The battery has also been replaced at 10k miles. The differential has been flushed 3 times as well. GM has dropped the ball with the 8 speed automatic … transmission. Not only in the Camaro but in any GM automobile. I'm throughly disgusted in this car, I should have stuck with my 2010 Camaro 2SS 6 speed manual. It was a basic car as far as creature comforts but a hell of a lot better car mechanically. Buyer beware of the 8 speed auto. Oh and it's going back in for the 5th or 6th time for the shuddering due to the 8 speed automatic. If you are thinking of purchasing an 8 speed transmission, in any gm car or truck, I wouldn't. They're junk, and that pains me too say that.
Research GM's 8 speed before you buy one

2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS 2dr Coupe w/2SS (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
This makes the 7th time my 2016 camaro with the 8 speed auto has been in the shop for transmission problems in 42000 miles . There is a very intense vibration when it shifts from 6th-7th-8th gear . The cylinder deactivation also causes vibration and many times a pause between shifting and cylinder deactivation followed by a catch and a thud or very hard shift . The dealer has … reprogrammed 4 times and flushed the transmission 3 times each time the problem gets better it is not perfect but better then gradually starts getting worse and worse until I cant stand it and take it in again . After researching this problem online I have learned this is a very common problem in many GM vehicles (cars and trucks ) with the 8 speed auto which is probably why they are going to put the new 10 speed in the camaro next year . I have been very understanding but am fed up and have no choice but to get rid of the car before my warranty is up .
