Drive

It’s a mixed bag in the handling department. The four-wheel independent suspension helps the Camaro handle surprisingly flat for a 3,700+ lb. car. Grip is certainly adequate, and the steering precise albeit numb. The awkwardly large horizontal spokes on the steering wheel make for a never quite perfect hand grip, but overall, the Camaro’s handling is impressive. Not best-in-class, but you really won't care. It’s the lusty horsepower under the hood that you’re after. Straight-line acceleration has always been key with these types of cars, and the fact that the Camaro can hold its own when the road curves is just a nice added bonus. Euro sport coupe it isn’t, fun muscle car it is. Yes, I'm still talking about the V6. 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Front

On the highway, visibility is naturally limited. You better adjust the side mirrors correctly, because the massive C-pillars create blind-spot city. However, there’s something about peering through the tiny windshield and down the long daunting hood that just makes you feel like you’re in a car that could handle anything. Cruising at 70 mph is a breeze, and the soft leather seats provide plenty of support for long hauls. As the miles rumble on, the car starts to shrink around you, feeling much smaller than it did when you first sat down. However, it takes practice to learn where the outer boundaries of the car lay. In my week with it, I still couldn’t quite park the Camaro straight in a parking spot.

At the end of the day…

The 2010 V6 Camaro is an excellent car for the right person. I’ve never received more honks, thumbs-ups, waves and comments than with the Camaro. This car is clearly designed for an extroverted individual. Or, an individual who prefers driving without anyone in the way. A spirited drive down some twisty roads resulted in three different people pulling over to let the bumble-bee Camaro pass by…a simply unheard-of action from LA’s selfish and competitive motorists. 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Front

This is worth all of the attention the car garners in my humble opinion, though your actual results may vary.

Ringing in at $31,450, our tester’s cost is a tough pill to swallow. After all, that’s just a few Benjamins away from 426-horsepower rip-snortin’ 1SS shenanigans. But, if you can do without the RS package (20” rolling stock, HID headlights, rear spoiler, special taillights) and the Transformers special edition (which, except to the most die-hard fan, is just stickers and emblems that add nothing besides $995 to the bottom line), you’re left with a very well-equipped muscle car for under 27 grand. Mixing the best of yesterday and today wrapped in a package that’s impossible to ignore, the Camaro is everything a pony car should be. Even when equipped with a V6.
