Additionally the SYNC system will NOT function with an iPhone in the USB port at ALL anymore , and then I discovered they limit the top speed electronically to 115 mph or so....
SOoooo.... I went back to the Chevy dealer again...
And seriously test drove a 2LT in this wonderful dark blue color....but with the dirty colored wheels.
THEN I discovered the tailights for the 2014 Camaro model year were borrowed from a Acura Integra and the smooshed headlight & grill area looked like a giant had stepped on the car and squished it down...
So the decision had to be NOW!
Swapped the silly, ugly, waste of money & weight 20" wheels for polished matching 19" all around and made sure I got the light tan interior...
Then added stripes...
I could only be happier with the car if:
1. the auto-radio dimmer, and auto dimming mirrors were manual,
2. and the Panasonic was a Pioneer,
3. and the A/C fan knob didn't block the oil pressure gauge.
FABULOUS REPLACEMENT FOR BLESSED BABY BLUE Mustang GT...Long live BLESSED BIG BLUE Camaro RS!
When I was about 14, I painted a slot car, '68 CAMARO RS...
DARK BLUE METALLIC...
It was my favorite little toy car.
I still have it.

What color are those stripes? Look like a champagne color, and I like that...a lot...I'm just plain BRM right now, and have been thinking about stripes...but the stripe color has me hesitating...
