Default 2017 Camaro SS 6.2L

Well our department just got 17 2017 Camaro SS with the 6.2L. I don't work in the division that got the cars but being a muscle car guy I knew I had to find a way to get my hands on one for a "test drive". As my luck had it I was able to get one for 2 days. Totally enjoyed it. Although it's a "fat lady" that 6.2L pulls like a Belgium Draft Horse.

Very cool. If we drive through your state, could we do some "playing" without any repercussions of a ticket? I "pretend" to run from you and you give chase? Then we can shake hands when we're done.

That's pretty sweet! What upgrades did they do? Anything to the motor/suspension, etc.?

Put a megaphone on it and you're all set!

Where do you stash the perps? Try stuffing a 300 lb drunk into the back seat.

Sweet squad car!

You need to convince your superior that being a qualified professional race car driver (c5 owner), you need an extended amount of evaluation time to really put the SS under the microscope to see if she'll hold up to the task.. make sure you sell yourself well

Love me some bluesmobile!!! "It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas."

Since this is not C5 related, moving this to the Other Cars section.

Is it a traffic unit or something? How do you put anyone in the back? Pretty sweet non the less.

I like my Ecoboost explorer. slow as hell, but lots of room.
