Mustangs have solid rear axles that can handle the low gears. Dont know how the irs of the camaro would hold up.

Not to mention, Dodge isn't afraid to offer Furious Fuschia as well. WE WANT A DECENT FREAKING BLUE GM!

Don't hold back...tell us how you really feel... LOL...point well made, come on GM and open up the color pallette like Dodge has done and is doing again...grandma ain't buyin these cars GM.......bold and brash color will ad to the wow factor and make the chip on the shoulder these Camaro's already carry only that much bigger.

I like it better than IBM too.

I know 90 percent of the folks on this forum like misty metallic black...like the Black Granite...but I was so disapointed when I got my 2009 Traverse..(as posted earlier)..and found out it was an metallic color...(I travelled a ways to get it and could not back out based on that fact).... .I like solid colors in black, white, and red...so that was the best black I could get. But any way...wheres the Corvette Bronze that looks like a washed out IOM

Go retro...where's the real nice light gold metallic??????

Hmmmm...yes, those bronze and golds you mentioned were nice indeed! Good point...

Im glad that they did go with the 45th Anniversary Edition, there were a lot of people doubting it when i post a thread on it a few months ago! Glad i decided to wait!

What are the odds that they will get rid of the rear sensors if they use a rear camera instead?

Not likely. As with the GMC Acadia it is integrated into the rear camera. If they put in a Navy like warning symbols show up on the screen where the possible collision is detected.

As FBODFATHER has said several times, his personal favorite is blue, but historically blue is very low volume compared to the other colors. They kept IBM over ABM because they solid more of the IBM and needed to cut a color.

The LS model is a stripped down model offer the fewest of all options etc... offering rear view camera would be in opposition of that concept.

^^This.

They did a similar thing with the 1SS and did not allow you to add the C&C package, but this is actually changing later for the 2011 MY. It never made sense that you could get C&C with the 1LT but not the 1SS. It was merely a ploy to get people to upgrade to the 2SS. It worked on me! I don't regret having leather though, but I probably would not have missed it if I didn't have it.

A ploy? if it was a ploy then why would they even offer a LS model? That does not make any sense at all. The LS model is for people who don't want all that other stuff, they just want the car. It's good for people who want to mod it all themselves too.

I know it wouldn't be a big seller but I'm liking the Plum Crazy Purple on the Challenger. I like bright colors, you can tell. :-)

I just traded in my plum crazy charger for my very green 2SS about 4 weeks ago. Indiana weather is crazy, we had severall small snow falls that I had to get some all season tires, to feel safe driving, but love this car and about every other day someone is taking pics of my car.

Granite Black Metallic is an awesome color... hope Carbon Flash is just as good...

Here's some closeups of Granite Black Metallic on my Tahoe... this is at night in the garage... out in the sun it's way nicer than plain flat black...

It should do well on the Camaro...

Did you guys know Black Granite adds about $200 to the price tag?
