Is that the degradable wiring harness though ?
I believe so, :sad: because they're amazing machines.

I might add … I really disliked that V6 + :manuel: I had a v6 accord for a week with that same combo and it was just uninspiring and boring to drive. It also had a shit ton of torque steer, and launching that car creates so much wheel hop that the dash felt like it was going to drop the fuck out of the car.

My ex had a TL like this (not S and auto) and it was a pretty nice driving/handling car, smooth engine with decent power.

Diff experience with the auto. That engine is on fact smooth and torquey for a sedan.

But blah

I dig this spec a lot. Too bad every rim is curbed and it has that weird damage on the unibody underneath

Had I lost all the weight before I bought the Camaro, I would have gotten a GR86.
The main deciding factor was my physical size and comfort.

The interior space in the Camaro is superior to an 86? I don’t :member: but in my recollection the 86 was quite spacious for what it is

(When I was 360 lbs) I fit in a Camaro, I did not in a GR86.
Actual CuFT of interior space? I wouldn't be surprised if they were close. The Camaro is small inside for how large of a car it is.

The seats are very tight. I'm just under 6' and 165-170. It felt like I was pushing it, even though I know larger people own them without issue.
