The driver of the pickup truck needs to be heavily fined. The driver of the Camaro needs to be jailed.

My wife drives a 2014 Passat TDI.

The trade sounds way too good to be true. I paid *less* than that to buy my 2011 2SS/RS brand new.

I've got an LS3 C6 Corvette, as well as my LS3 Camaro. The extra weight of the Camaro is a killer, and the Vette is very noticeably faster. The C5 Z06 should be comparable (or even a bit quicker)...

This video is right at 70mph.

Speed does not seem to make a difference. Other times that I've heard it was at 35mph, but it was only for a second. This road caused it continuously.

2011 Camaro Dash Rattle

My Camaro has recently developed a pretty nasty (loud) dash rattle.

It's pretty hard to reproduce. Driving over bumps, etc. doesn't do it. It only happens when the texture of the road generates...
