Sweet car. I'd love to have a silver one, but don't see it in my future. Too many other things to take care of in life.

Nice car for a GM

Love the ebay auction car vs wife!!!

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooohhhhhhhhh.

Very sweet.

What's the damage? Bought or leased?

Nice car !! Do yourself a favor and get some Bilstein Sport shocks. The OEM shocks let it wallow like a pig around corners.

The Camaro interior is MILES ahead of my Corvette.

I think it goes well with the bike...

Did you test drive the auto as well? If so how did it compare?

I was looking at them the other day, considering one but after driving the 6 and the 8 auto, they left me completely cold. And of course no local dealers had a manual. I mean really, who buys these things AUTO?!?!

The look of the car is great, and I love the design of the convertible, but I want the power its purported to have...and didnt find in the few I drove.

You would be surprised! I'm with you. Get it in an auto and you're a douche!! Sportscar and muscle cars should be a manual or a stick.

I ran into the same problem with Challengers... 4 dealers and none had a Challenger RT in a stick shift. When I told them that was stupid, they looked at me like I sprouted a 3rd head. I told them I want a "drivers car" not some F'in slush box.

Slush box would be a good description of the Camera auto to me. Felt like driving my moms old crown vic WITHOUT any power. Yuck.

MOPAR guys. 727 disease. Ever notice there's a lot of auto MOPARS?

Don't know what it is with MOPAR guys, but they don't really seem to know how to shift their own gears. They should change the logo to a rainbow.

I test drove the 6 speed manual with the V8....it was an 2SS convertible....bad ASS car....but...I'm just not in to the convertible thing.

I got the 1SS with the RS kit and the interior components that I wanted....Boston Acoustic sound system and the Hurst short throw shifter....I prefer fabric seats rather than leather...and didn't care about the "supplementary gauges" or HUD that was the included in the 2SS package. All a matter of personal preference, I guess. And I'm with you guys....I don't understand people who buy neutered "muscle cars".....V8.....6 speed manual....or it's NOT a muscle car anymore. LOL

It's funny....had been drooling ovah the car for months....was out on my bike in Old Town and heard a beast sounding rumble at a stop light....dude in a car just like mine looks ovah and says...pull into this QT...I wanna check out your bike..that is bad ass. I was like....for real...I wanna check out your car....IT is bad ass. That was a Thursday night...I was in the dealer making the deal Friday. And I bought it, 101....no lease. Made a pretty fair deal, I think.

They had to go get the car from a dealer in Green Bay, WI....so it added a week to the wait...but...totally worth it. Gonna try to focus on work today rather than all the goodies I want to get for the car....but....probably know how that will end up.
