I did test drive a 2010 manual SS and found the shifter to be in a strange position and the steering wheel fugly. The manual felt much weaker than the auto too somehow, I think due to the gearing.
The 12+ model interior is so much nicer than the 10-11 and the auto feels like a rocket.
The 2012 Camaro also got the FE4 suspension updates and handles like a dream, and the seats are much better in it than the GT. Post some pics damn it. Good trade, you stuck with a V8 and RWD, can't go wrong no matter what.

Agree completely.
He doesn't seem like he's bragging, just letting folks know. Who cares, he is a part of our community, and decided to get a different brand car, not a big deal. It's not like he joined the Aryan Brotherhood and then came here to recruit.

Thanks for all that.
I still want to participate in the forums but I don't want to go on acting like I still have a mustang because I don't. So I provided my story.
One picture so far. Not the best and it's dirty from the rain

I wouldn't even trade my MT82 '11 3.7 V6 for an auto L99 Camaro, but as long as you are happy that is all that matters.

I personally am so grateful that we have such a wide array of performance cars to choose from. And Im also glad that we are allowed to think for ourselves, and buy what we want. Makes life all the more interesting and worth while. Doesnt it ?
I just.... don't like the look. It looks too boaty to me.
You should have bought an 07-09 GT500, or spent a little more and gotten a '10 if you want that silly "refinement".
That is your opinion. I personally like the Camaro look a little more than the Stang.
The 07-09 GT500 is awesome but not great for a daily imo(have driven one). The 10-12 Gt500 is awesome but out of my price range.
The 13' GT500 is the way to go but that's way out of my price range

Just to clarify, I didn't mean any kind of offense. I think its pretty brave of you to come on here, knowing you'd probably get flamed.
If you like your car, who am I to complain? In the end, its all about YOU liking it. I used to DD my gt500. It wasn't a LOT of fun, but it wasn't too bad either. The ridiculous torque made driving so easy. I could be in 6th at 30mph and 1,100rpm and still accelerate faster than most cars around me.
Anyway, I wouldn't go with a '13 unless you love the look or something. .4l and a tvs is not worth 20 grand. Especially when a similarly modded 07-12 will have within 10hp of a 13.
Hell, for that 20k, I could buy a tougher short block and a 3.6KB and put down 900, provided my transmission doesn't blow up.
I never liked the mt-82 or whatever. I drove my buddies 5.0 and it was trash... he only had like 6k miles on the car. TR-6060 is the way to go. Yeah, 1-2 can be a little hazy, but it is tough as nails.

Nothing against the TR6060, but BBR's 2011 has the factory MT-82, not treated and they're making 953 at the wheels. They exploded their one piece 1000HP drive shaft...twice. And the transmission and rear end are still running strong.
