My Baby is home! 2SS/RS Black w/IOM

Ok, she's home! What a whirlwind trip too! We flew to Sunnyvale Chevrolet on Saturday (Sunnyvale, CA), picked up the car, drove 90 miles further north to visit family.

Loving this baby! Handles great! The sound is quiet, but it's there! We visited family, then drove home this morning - total of 820 miles already on her!

We took the CA coast down to San Diego most of the way. I played here and there with speed, shifting, and everything inside Yes, broke 100 mph and got her to around 4800 RPM.

Inside the car are the uninstalled painted GFX, so it was a little tight in there

I think she handled great, sounds wonderful, and just LOVE the looks if it! I can't look at her enough! I love the curves of the hood and the bulge in the center. I love the curves of the body and the wide fenders!

2 minor mishaps on the way home, but no real damage. We hit a pothole on one of the smaller roads that neither of us saw and it sounded like it cracked the right front wheel. I pulled over and check, and thank God all was fine. Then, on the highway, when it was dark, we hit some thing on the road and it went under the right front wheel and made a small scratch in the lower passenger door paint Oh well... a stripe just might go over that spot.

I love the ABL in the doors, except it doesn't run the full length of the door, and is not bright enough when the dash is kept low. Played with the radio, OnStar navigation, and plugged in my girlfriend's IPOD and it worked great the first shot!!

She really could use Memory settings for the drivers seat and a fully electric passenger seat. We averaged about 23.3 mpg on the highway and averaged 65.3 mph 2 1/2 tanks of gas...all 91 octane.

I'm loving this baby!!

Tomorrow she gets a FULL Zaino detail, then her oil changed. On Tuesday I bring her to a local dealer for the GFX installation.

Wednesday she goes to Zoomers for the CAT back exhaust install.

Friday is the ADM CAI install, then probably the Viper alarm install.

More to come...

EDIT:

We spotted NO less than 8 '10 Camaro's on the way home yesterday! Most were going North, and many on the Pacific Coast Highway. I got some waves, smiles, and one sour face. Maybe he was having a bad day

Anyway, I have hood spears and door stripes in orange from RiderGrapfix that will hopefully go on this week.

Thanks all! More pics to come...
