I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It's in the test and tune section showing the rear quarter of the car...I checked that the plate matched the video (....4034) before I posted (see 2nd video of post #6 in this thread, it's essentially that picture).

I'd scan and post it but I figure I'll let TAG do the honors after he gets a copy. It's the issue with the flamed Impala Vert on the cover.

IT IS AN Advertisement FOR STAINLESS STEEL.....THE EXHAUST CO.... I dont know if they can LEGALLY use a pic of his car without his knowledge or reimbursement.

I Know one Co. Got into to trouble for using a local board members pix for profit/advertisement without his consent.. Might wanna look into this TAG..

Personally, I'd be quite happy to have my car in Hot Rod. There is WAY too much litigation in our great country these days.

As for me, I'd buy a copy, put it with my documentation, and say THANKS.

LoL. This Would be the 2nd Time Tag had a SS in a car mag...

Yeah I see Your point....... BUT this would be the SECOND time they did him Wrong.. Or Do you not remember the Vids that they posted on YOUTUBE.?

At any point it IS TAGs car and will be his choice.. Just letting a Friend Know what is up..

Well...yes there's a lot of litigation in the world, and only some of it is valid. This situation warrants at least some remedy to the owner of the car (to me).

I want to say again congrats on not only getting the FIRST CGM out of Oshawa (the signed print by the team was WAY cool!), but for the fact that you took the time to keep us all informed of what was going on, and customized it in a way most (if not all) of us really thought was GREAT!!!!

I love the looks of it, and of course, the SOUND is amazing.

I liked the vid of you taking delivery. It made me feel as excited as if it were me. I know you will enjoy this for many years to come, and I am sure the wait was worth it.

Your story made it obvious of just how much that Scott, the "enthusiasts", the disciples, and the factory team are all an extended family and drove the point home just how much all of them were so committed to making the new Camaro the best it could be, despite many chalenges and rough times. (I found it to be an extremely satisfying side-note that you MAY or may not have gotten a special "ringer" motor from Oshawa. That is soooo cooool)

It is soo cool to be a part of this. "WE" and I use the term loosely, made the best of a bad situation and turned the story around to be a positive example of what can be done when so many people are committed to making things work, despite the challenges.

Looking forward to hearing about how you are enjoying this, now that you have FINALLY taken delivery and can enjoy it.

Keep posting, please!!

I can't think of a better person to have enjoyed such an amazing experience in patience, reward, and satisfaction. You deserve it, Bro!!!

Cheers to ya!!!!

PS- I hope to take a weekend trip to SA someday soon to get a ride in that beast. I will PM you if/when this can take place and we can coordinate timing.

Go Camaro5!!

Take care, Y'all!!!
Thanks, thanks, and MANY MORE THANKS!!!

I scanned your whole thread...man...you have had some experience! Congrats on everything! The exhaust is awesome sounding, the car looks awesome. I wish I had the cash to throw down and get some of the stuff done like paint, I/H/E, and wheels...but I'm going to have to take things one step at a time.

Hope to be driving next to you one day here in a couple months.

Hey BTW...how much did that tint run you?
I wouldn't doubt that the hard driving helped. It IS possible.
Thanks for the congrats. I have no idea how on Earth I ever got this lucky. I dunno...stuff like that just doesn't happen to little ole' me.
Tint....I'm trying to remember. I think it was $196???...at Custom Sounds.
