Hey man it sucks when we cruse around and more people pay attention to his car then mine, I know it is hard to admit, but it is true. He actually is trying to trade it for a c5z and has it up on this board. I'll find it.

On another note, we ran the stock c6 vs his MKIV and he pulled me. Not by alot, but he is putting out 403whp down to my 345whp.

Not to get to far off the subject..... BUT, my neighbor brought one of these home earlier this week, and MAN, what a POS that car is! The body has a really tough look to it, but the rear end looks like it's missing something around the exhaust level... It just doesn't look finished.

For whatever reason, he went with a base model V6 version. I want to ask him WHY he bought a six cylinder muscle car at all. I mean what is the sense?

In the case of my car vs. my neighbor's... Mine wins, tug of war or whatever else you've got.

POS? You might not like the car's looks/proportions but that certainly doesn't make it a POS.
I drove my friend's 2010 V6 automatic on the three and half hour drive out to 'Corvettes of Carlisle' this past August and was VERY impressed by it's comfort, handling and solid/quality feel, felt a lot like a 5 series BMW actually.

Personally I love the Camaro. I was ready to have a Black RS/SS in the garage but passed after I realized I had to sit in the crappy interior. The interior designers didn't match the great body design.

While I don't dislike the interior as much as other people do I do find at least a few flaws in there. They're actually working on some fixes/upgrades for the interior for 2012.

No drink more and then order some mods for it. Blame it on the alcohol, as the song goes.

No no my brother, I meant that my neighbors car was a POS, not the model itself.

The only thing I don't like about "the model" as posted above is the rear valance, or lack thereof.

Now as far as feeling like an M5, I don't know about that.

I didn't say M5, I said 5 series (which could mean a basic 528/535 etc.)...not every BMW is a fire breathing performance model ya know, some are actually quite mundane/boring.

I simply love the look of the exterior but when I looked at the cockpit...
