Scored a very cool mrental car on our vacation.

2012 Camaro SS convertible, with 4500 mi. on the clock.





The thing was hellaciously fast! Didn't know the specs till I got home and looked it up. 400 HP 6.2 liter, with a 6 spd auto. Too bad it wasn't a manual, they put out 426 hp.

It handled well with 4 wheel independent suspension, and stopped nicely thanks to the Brembos.



I'm no fan of automatics, but the 6 spd with the paddle shifters pulled off some nice crisp upshifts and downshifts, and I actually began liking it. The acceleration provided some interesting high speed insertions into the I-75 traffic.

Needless to say, we had a blast driving it for 10 days. I was still smiling most of the flight home. Avis should know better than to rent something like that to the likes of me!!
