2011 Camaro rear window vs. thirdgen rear window

Drove a couple of new Camaro SS's for work today and man the visibility in those things suck. I'd take a thirdgen with an ls3 6 speed any day over a new one. Anyone else driven one?

(If this is in the wrong category feel free to move it... As if I have a choice lol)

Re: 2011 Camaro rear window vs. thirdgen rear window

I haven't been near a new Camaro, but it's not surprising. Being able to see out went out the door in 1993. BTW Scott is going to drop kick this thread through the goal posts of life when he sees it. There isn't any place for threads like this on Thirdgen.org, ever since the non-tech board went away.

Re: 2011 Camaro rear window vs. thirdgen rear window

Any car with 500+ hp that only runs 13 sec quarter mile is a fat pig. Thirdgen with that hp would run 11- 10 secs with drags and gearing on a perfect day. On topic the irony is the window is to small.

Re: 2011 Camaro rear window vs. thirdgen rear window

I didn't think the side windows were too bad but the rear was terrible. From the angle you sit in the seat, you were looking up at an angle out the back and I'm 6' tall and had the seat adjusted.
