There will not be much change done to the outside of the car. I like the way the car looks. The only things that bothers me are the two large Chevrolet bowtie emblems. I will probably replace those with SS at some point. I may also replace the stock 20 inch wheels and tires with 18 or 19 inch wider wheels and tires for better handling, performance and ride comfort.

Why did I buy a 2010 Camaro? In 2008, I sold my 1998 Torch Red Z51 6-speed manual Corvette Coupe to my brother-n-law. That left me with my 2003 4x4 Extended Cab GMC Sierra. When gas shot way up in cost, I decided I didn't really need the truck. So, I began looking at what was available in the way of sporty coupes. I didn't want to go the Corvette route again, I had already done that. So I started researching the new Camaro, Challenger, Mustang and G37 Coupe. I chose the 2LT/RS with manual transmission because I wanted to be more responsible and drive a car that gets better gas mileage and is better on the environment. So, I traded the truck for it and after driving it about 6 months, I realized that I missed the torque of a V8, the stopping power of the Corvette and was tired of shifting gears, since I drive 90-95% city driving.

In April 2010, I ordered a 2SS/RS L99. In May, I traded in the 2LT/RS for "Silver Street". Silver Street will be getting better suspension components and a little boost to performance. I am looking forward to "Silver Street"s transformation.

I have one just like this, everything is the same as yours. I only wish I had done a little more home work before I took the leap!
I am thinking about going to Pa. to Tom Henry Chevy. Raceing and make a deal with them for one already set up, (superchager & ect.)
I have had this one about 6 weeks and less than 1000 miles.

( I HAVE NEVER LET MY SCHOOLING INTERFERE WITH MY EDUCATION ) until now!

Spike, you don't have to buy the car with the supercharger already installed. You can alway find a reputable shop to fix you right up.
