Of course since it’s a rental, you get the V6 and the automatic transmission but it is actually a fun car in the turns. You really feel the weight of it but with traction and stability controls off and the shifter in manual (paddle shifted) mode, it works pretty well. I drove up Mount Wilson since that is now my favorite rental car test road.
I’m in Santa Barbara for the weekend so it’s a good car for that anyways. Got it for $150 for 4 days which is a pretty sweet deal. I’ll be sure to review it a bit for Oppo. My favorite part about the car vs the normal Camaro is that you can actually see out of it! But the top takes more than 30 seconds to raise and lower. This certainly bothers me since my Miata is so easy to just top up, top down, top up, top down. Also, already tested the donut making ability very successfully.

I’m curious about the rate! How did you get 4 days for $150?

Haha magic! It was actually $152 and change but still cheap. My original rate was ~$100 for a Toyota Yaris. I asked if they had any upgrades available and the guy said there is a Camaro convertible. The original offer was $185 but I said it was too much. He said, “how much would it have to be for you to upgrade?” So I said “$150” and then I got the lowest offer of $152 and that was the deal! Never knew the price was negotiable lol.

Yeah the car looks a bit nicer than the last couple of years. Even though they did very little to the car, the minor improvements make a difference. Interior is very nice too, not luxury but not crappy GM expectations either. Perfect for socal since the top will be down the whole time.
