M/T Long Term Camaro SS arrival

We wasted no time handing the key over to our Real MPG lab, which managed to eke out 1 mpg better than in each of the EPA’s city/highway/combined tests with 17.3/26.1/20.4 mpg. We also ran our Camaro 2SS to the track, where it laid down a 4.3-second 0-60 time and a quarter-mile pass of 12.5 seconds at 114.8 mph. We’ve tested lighter Camaro SSes as quick as 4.0 seconds to 60 mph and 12.4 seconds at 115.8 mph, but our fresh engine will loosen up; we’ll take another run at it in the future. We absolutely love the dual-mode exhaust, especially because the drive mode selector remembers and retains our favorite Sport setting. The neighbors probably love it less on early mornings. The magnetorheological dampers have also proven their worth, doing an excellent job with freeway chop and posting the best Camaro SS result to date on our figure eight at 23.9 seconds.
This is probably the heaviest non-convertible SS, at 3,705 (still lighter than the old one with more everything). The MPG result is impressive, as is the Figure-8 which from memory is very close to the ATS-V.

It is still pretty pricey though as it was $46k as tested.
