[Ry4nVan]

I still find myself visiting this thread's first page and watching the videos, the exhaust sound, the awesome pics....

I vote this thread #1 so far! So much great information throughout these pages.

Of course, being used to a RWD, V8, manual takes some practice, but we were pleasantly surprised

Thanks

This is a great photo posted by Heather on page one! Great side shot of car, with nice backdrop. I just did some minor photoshopping on it to remove trash can that was behind rear of car, and the front of tan car parked to the right...and did a PS auto adjust to bring out more blue in water.

Wow Derby I needed you for all of my pics! You do such a great job, and the car looks so much better without the front plate that you did--I actually saved your pics to replace a few of mine

Front plates do not improve public safety, nor does the lack of one hinder public safety.

Have you seen this? Its more than a petition and is idol right now but is still active.

Heather, after driving the 1SS, would you want to go for the 2SS or stick with the car you got to drive? I ask is because I cant decide between 1SS and 2SS. Thanks for all your help .

I was pleasantly surprised how nice the "base" V8 was, and I think that anyone who is looking for a powerful, fun to drive V8 will be more than satisfied with the 1SS. For the price point it really can not be beat. The cloth was nice, and seemed like it would hold up (it has so far). I personally am not a fan of the 4 pack, so that I did not miss. The stereo sounds good, and although no connectivity it does have the ability to plug in an ipod (just not radio controls). So, depends on what is important to you...Do you want all the bells and whistles and leather, or will you be happy without.

If you think you can't live without leather or will miss some of the features in the 2SS and can afford it--go for the 2SS. If you are comfortable knowing you don't mind cloth and don't need some features and want to keep the price down you won't be disappointed with a 1SS.

Personally I must have leather, and that makes a 2SS a must have for me-some of the other upgrades are just a bonus.

My husband is actually the one who will be ordering...When I became too involved and opinionated last fall (by visiting this site and becoming more informed) he surprised me with a Solstice GXP and said the Camaro is his to order the way he wants

I "may" be allowed to drie it!

[Joe in T.O.]

Congrats on the Solstice Heather! If you are still in Toronto, you and your husband should drop by.

Thanks Heather! And while I would like to take credit for the front plate delete-edits, those were actually done by 91t/a. (I live in a state that mandates the front plates :(...so I plan on atleast getting some vanity plates that suit the car). I did do some Patriot versions based on your Camaro, though. You took great photos, so there was very little that could be improved on them. Thanks again for this great thread, that has it all. Great photos, and great journalism! Here's a close-up of that photo.

thanks for your help Heather, to be honest, I really want the bluetooth. Probably the most important option to me. If later on GM can add C & C on the 1SS, thats probably what I'll get.
