Aqua Blue RS/SS · 03-12-2019, 03:18 PM

I guess maybe I’m a little different than some. I like Brian, wanted an ABM. It took me a while to find the right one. I wanted an M6 but the more I started looking for the right car the more my wife was starting to get excited about getting one.( way more than I thought she would) I settled for the car I got not only because it is a clean, pretty low mile 2SS/RS ABM but because my wife can’t drive an M6. 2SS/RS was mandatory for me. All that said rather than a ZL1 my absolute Dream 5th gen is a Z28. Follewed closely by my car.

I love my SS. I would have no doubt purchased ZL1 if my budget at the time had allowed, but I really wanted a new SS with the LS3 engine.

My only requirements were:
Ashen Gray Color
LS3 with 6 speed Manual
RS package
No Sunroof.

They had a couple ashen gray 6 speeds in Michigan at the time but they had sunroofs. They did a dealer trade as they found my car in Indiana new at another dealer.

Been all smiles and great times ever since

Ya that z28 is no joke . I rarely see them on the road either, that’s one special car for sure.I mean just the looks alone sets it off.

yea if you loved the original body style chances are the SS was a HUGE draw ..SS always got the attention back in high school ..still grabs me today

I am not a big fan of just a regular SS, love the 1le. I went from a G8 GT to a 2013 1le. Now on my 2nd 1le, moved up to the 2015 with Recaros. I like NA over FI, my dream Camaro would a 2SS Z28.

Like a few others mine had to be a V8 with a manual. Red with black stripes was the goal but I was looking at ordering a 1SS with minimal options to keep the price down so I was willing to go without the stripes. Turns out my local dealer had just what I wanted in 2SS trim including the stripes. It had been on the lot for over a year and they had it discounted so that's what I bought in February 2012.
I still wish they had offered the LS7 in SS trim.

Owned my '10 SS/RS for 10 years - don't need any different model.

Massaged my car into what I want for options/performance.

Love my 2SS but if I could do it all again and had psychic abilities, I would have not gotten the L99/A6.

I drive 100% in TapShift and long for a manual, but I am at 150k miles and have lost so much resale value. Besides, I am now too emotionally attached to this car. So I will just buy another Camaro when I can afford it.
