From 0 to a new life lesson in 4.6 seconds

Fact: A 2010 Camaro SS with an automatic transmission, starting at just under $31,000 goes 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds.

Halo headlights FTW

It takes little knowledge about cars to see that the face of the Camaro is one of the most menacing growls ever produced onto an automobile. The car’s broad shoulders and aggressive stance make it obvious the car has a look that cannot be matched. Tonight, however, I have learned first hand that this car has a healthy powertrain to back up its appearances. A V8 mated to even an arguably less-cool automatic transmission still awakens the senses and everyone in a 5 mile radius with an amazingly high-octane and powerful roar. Give her some gas and watch the speedometer fly up to the posted speed limit so quickly that it is almost disappointing because it only means you (legally) have to let up on the gas and stop the fun. With all that racket, a life lesson is delivered in under 5 seconds — nobody can ever make a V8 like Detroit.
