Since my GTI is about penny stock status with regards to trade-in value right now, I toyed with the idea of a second sports car.
I test drove this today:
It was on loan for 24 hours, but I returned it in one. My reasoning? In my normal seated position, my head touches the dang roof.
Believe it or not, I liked the ride, steering, and handling. Oh, and that immediate torque from the V8 is something that I forgot that I missed since driving turbocharged 4 bangers for 4 years now.
Also, the horrific visibility isn't that horrible once adjusting the mirrors properly, but, I just can not live with a car where my head literally touches the roof. That was the one thing I hated about my wife's 2011 Genesis Coupe when she owned it. Then if I recline the seat back to where my head is a good distance away from the roof, that horrific visibility gets worse in the Camaro. Of course, that pretty much mirrored my complaints with the Genesis Coupe. Well, the GC also rode worse than the Camaro and even my GTI.
So the verdict, I need to look for something else in a second car if I decide to go that route.
