I have IBM and love it! But...if I get another Camaro I want Summit White. Just looks real sharp!

SoSlow · 05-02-2013, 09:35 PM

Black, it was the only Camaro SS on the lot with a 6 speed manual. I'm not a patient person - I wanted my Camaro NOW!

The plan was to buy American muscle in an obnoxious color with big a$$ stripes. So with that being said I was looking for the synergy green but they don't make verts in that flavor so IOM was what I bought...mission accomplished.

Everything I buy is Black, it is a PIA to keep immaculate, but I love the look and I still have the health to keep it clean. If I ever get too old to keep them clean, I will go with some form of silver since it hides dirt great.

There's a 2011 Synergy Green 1SS on a lot here in town. If it was an automatic, I'd buy it for the wife. Not because she likes the color...

100% correct. I've had a black car and white ones and there is a world of difference in the amount of effort to keep them clean. Silver may be the best at not showing dirt, but white is very good also.

Silver may be the best at not showing dirt, however, once you put black stripes on it, it's essentially like having a black car. I think I wash it so much im gonna disolve the car. lol

White, White & White...

camaro_RS · 05-03-2013, 10:16 AM

Yup....a lot more people it seems want a SW these days!!! And for good reason IMO.

68vert · 05-03-2013, 10:59 AM

More reason we need additional lighter color choices. I assume alot of Camaros get driven quite often, if not daily. As much as i like some of the darker colors offered, i dont want to wash my car every 3 days.

lawman007 · 05-03-2013, 03:59 PM

I'd have to say Summit White! Check out mine, the day it arrived at my dealer.

AirManFL · 05-03-2013, 04:08 PM

I love white and I don't plan on selling it. If I was going to get a different color it would probably be Crystal Red Tintcoat.

Had it existed when I was ordering I might be in a Synergy Green Camaro right now, but I still love my IOM and it brings a smile to my face every time I see it.

The new color Red Rock for 2014 would be a great sub for IOM. It has the same color variation in the light but with more red than orange. I think like IOM when the Camaro first arrived pictures don't do it justice and you really need to see it in the flesh.

Black 2009 Harley Davidson Rocker sold(i miss you)
Black 2012 ZL1...

Absolutely love my car like OP said, I was addicted to black cars, these damn 1000's of rock chips per side have cured me of that. I'm thinking white on the next one, light grey or yellow
