Good Grades: Powerful 400 horsepower, 6.2 liter V8 engine and good six-speed automatic transmission, solid chassis, terrific retro exterior styling, comfortable front seats, good interior materials.
Bad Grades: This car is extremely claustrophobic--the windows all around are extremely small (and the black interior doesn't help), limited outward visibility, huge blind spot when changing lanes, retro instrument gauges aren't a good thing (Instrument gauges down by the gear shifter on the console? C'mon, Man!), small back seats and trunk, and the car is too heavy--it needs to be lighter.
Final Grade: If you love all-out, American Muscle, then the Camaro SS is the car for you--possibly. This car would be the near perfect muscle car if it weren't for its glaring shortcomings. Still, it's a blast to drive! If you want better fuel economy, go for the 304 horsepower, 3.6 liter V6 in the Camaro RS. If you want more horsepower , get the Camaro SS with the six-speed manual transmission--and you'll get 426 hp, 26 more than the SS with the automatic transmission. The 2010 Camaro SS vs. the 412 hp 2011 Mustang GT: Let the heavyweight comparisons begin! Woo Hoo! :)
The Car Exam Grade: B+
Vehicle Price: $37,975
