Just purchased this 2011 2ss with the auto trans. It is certified used with only 2300 miles. One owner clean carfax. Purchased new in 7/12. It has the 2 tone gray leather and the heads up display. I actually bought it 3 weeks ago, but the weather has been straight crap here. Finally got a chance to get it out today.
I paid 23k for the car, which I thought was a good deal. It really is essentially new. I was actually looking at Volvo s 60 and BMW 3 series or something similar, basically I stumbled on the Camaro and the rest was history. My wife gave the ok because the boys are still small enough to fit in back no problem.
Spent the last 3 weeks browsing the site. It has been a great resource for sure. Thanks to all who contribute valuable info here. This is my first Camaro. My dream car is a 70.5-72 Z-28, but can't afford one, and this new silver ice metallic ss is one cool looking car!

Man , I hate when the car stays on its side , it may let some fluids out , so I put it right side up

aldochi`na · 04-14-2016, 12:15 PM

Thanks. And thanks for flipping the pic, I couldn't figure it out. I just finished burning off the free tank of 87 from the dealer. Put a half tank of 91 in it, gonna burn that then fill it with 93 and try this fuse pull I have been reading about.
It came with axle back flowmaster as far as I can tell. Haven't jacked it up and got under there yet, hopefully this weekend. Gotta pull the rotors and get rid of some unsightly surface rust. I just finished doing the front emblem in 3m carbon fiber wrap. Came out sweet I think.

I would go through at least a couple of full tanks of premium fuel before doing the fuse pull.

Unsightly surface rust usually appears anytime its wet out, it just wears off. Congrats on the new ride.
