Nitpicks aside, this is a very fun car.* The engine is powerful and responsive.* You don’t hit the redline until 6600 RPM, and considering that the power band is in the mid-4000s to 5000s, that means you can get a lot of power, and some great V8 rumbles, when you’re starting off the line or pulling through a corner.* Is the Camaro SS perfect?* No, but considering that the model has been out of production since 1992, this is an incredibly impressive return for the venerable pony car.
The gauges setup in the 2010 Camaro SS is a bit baffling.* The oil pressure, oil temperature, battery voltage, and transmission temperature gauges are mounted in the center console, right in front of the shifter.* Why?* Who knows.* Just hope none of these gauges ever hits the red, because in order to see them you’ll need to bend down unless you have great eyesight.* The speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge and engine temperature gauge are thankfully in their traditional positions.* The center console gauges seem more like a gimmick and could have easily been removed in place of an electronic LCD display under the regular gauges.
If you’re expecting lateral or lumbar support, then look elsewhere.* As far as modern gadgets go, there is an auxiliary input to the stereo for your iPod, but don’t look for a LCD screen navigation or interface system.* The Camaro does have GM’s OnStar for an option, and if you are a fan of that service you will be happy.* If you prefer a visual nav system, you’re out of luck.
