Default About to be an owner of a Camaro LS:)

Hey guys, I am very interested in getting a Camaro LS. I've always been an imports guy but now I am interested only in one muscle car, which is Camaro 2011.

Could you tell me if there are any mechanical problems? So far I saw two threads about a failed transmission and a blown out engine.
Thank you!
Panda

the Z28 name has been used on Camaros since the 60s, but the one they're talking about is the forthcoming Camaro with the supercharged 6.2L LSA motor out of the CTS-V (good for 550+ hp). It probably won't be revealed until the Detroit Auto Show next month, and it should be available by the end of next year as a 2012 model.

lol I can't believe that I am getting a domestic, I used to talk so much crap about American cars, such as poorly made mustangs, over-hyped chargers and over-priced challengers. I looked at dozen Japanese and German cars at that price range and performance. But when I looked into Chevy, Camaro is abosolutley the best!
I am not American yet, but I love American.And I would love to represent this country with my car.

Now I just have to get rid of this effing toyota I have lol
