2SS is the 6.2 V8 with leather and the connectivity pkg.  Otherwise known as the Anti-Mustang.   :D

EDIT:  Ally bank will lend on a SS Camaro no prob.  Ya just have to go to a dealer that'll put their feet to the fire.  As a dealer, all you have to say is "I guess we'll send it to our credit unions..."  They tend to loosen up a bit after that.

Heck, I got a 36 mo, 12k/yr Volt lease done two days ago at 380/mo with very questionable credit...   That one was 45k sticker.  Ally does work with ya.

2nd Edit:  I'm the seller, not the buyer.  Happy to answer any questions though.

 

 



 yep. that's the one woody has. he traded his dodge ram in on it.

 back when we both had our 60's hot rods, we were always lining up down at the track. it sucked when i sold him the smallblock 400 out of my truck, helped him install it in his 68 camaro, and he then proceeded to hammer me into the weeds.  :x

rather coincidentally, ford is willing to lend money for them.  :rock :devil

the only thing i didn't like about the Camaro in transformers, was that it's yellow. a longtime friend of mine had been on the fence about buying a camaro. till he drove past the shop, and saw the gt sitting out there. he came in and checked it out......2 weeks later, he had his 2010 2ss(i think that's the v8?) race orange white stripes. beautiful car,. but i still like mine better.  :devil
Ya but I don't think they are going to lend to a 19 year old who is full time at college with no job currently spending a couple grand a month on flying lol... But then again, I am probably just the type of person they are looking for to take advantage of...

AS for the Camaro, originally I would have actually done it just like Bee, Yellow with black stripes, if I were to get one. Black leather with yellow trim. I was even thinking about getting transformer logos and replacing all the Chevy logos with the respective logos. Then I discovered the Maroon color and fell in love with it. I would have picked it and white racing stripes instead.

However, I didn't like the Camaros used in Revenge of the Fallen and The Dark Side of the Moon. Mainly it was the large black vent on the fenders that I didn't like, so I would have just gotten one with the standard fog lights there instead. I actually saw a Transformers Edition Camaro last year sitting in the parking lot as I was leaving a hospital.

What has really turned me back off the Camaro is that it seems to me they have made the nose of the car more pointed than the first year they reintroduced the line. Its just a little too pointed for my liking.

The Mustang on the other hand, I always loved the front end, especially after they did the 2010(?) update. It was the rear end that i didn't like, but it has since grown on me.

If i were to get a Mustange, i would get the v6. Two reasons really. One would be Insurance, i know there is a much higher premium for the GT's especially for my age. And the second is because it should get slightly better gas mileage. Manual is also a given, though I have never learned it yet.

Sell you mine. Give you a good deal on it was well. Make an offer. I want a BOSS and can't have both cars and a house.

OOOO......if you get a boss302, you HAVE  to bring it to milleville.

 BTW... i watched the american stig drive both a roush stage3, and a boss302 around american top gears track. the boss was quicker, more composed, leaned less, had less brake dive, and looked much much more precise in the turns.

The nose is the same. No changes.

That's the plan. I'm going to a track rental at Pocono in July. I can't take my convertible to Millville thanks to the NJ State Police but a Boss would definitely see the tracks there.

Popped into a showroom in Florida and they hit my realistic number on their first volley. Bastages. I need to get rid of this car and I'd rather sell it than ship it to FL to trade for what I owe. Or if you would have taken me up on driving it down over Christmas it would already be there...
