Stoked doesn't describe it... I almost have my new camaro! Shipping from Florida for a delivery early next week. Can't wait to continue modding it out. I think I have already read this intire forum to get info. It is a great site and you guys have built a great community with a wealth of information!
The car has already had a lot of mods..
3-piece Cor Forged 22" custom painted/chrome wheels (22x8.5 front, 22x11 rear), Pirelli PZero Nero tires (265/30ZR22 front, 315/25ZR22 rear), NLP rear "dovetail" spoiler, TVS2300 Magnasun Supercharger (black finish), Kooks 1 7/8" long tube stainless steel headers w/ high flow catalytic converters, Pedders rear subframe bushings, BMR trailing arms, BMR toe rods, Eibach Pro-Kit springs (1.0"/1.0" drop), custom dyno tune, Roto-Fab cold air intake kit w/ TVS2300 tube, NGK TR6 spark plugs, Headlight Armor vinyls on tail lights and side marker lights, 1LT GM fog light housings w/ 4300k HIDs, custom black Chevrolet emblems and "SS" emblems, custom fully Dynamat lined trunk and rear fender wells.

Now I'm busy planning the mods I'll be doing. I'd lke to get 3.73 gears and a hurst short shifter first. I may change the exhaust too, but want to hear it first. I can't stand a loud drone on the interstate but love a low rumble at low speeds and a loat of throat on WOT!

I've been wanting one of these since I had to let go of my SRT8 Charger (also black) to get a truck (also black, sensing a pattern?). 3 years later, I'm finally able to get my dream car and keep the truck.

I'm not a big gear head and have learned everything I know from these forums, so any information, ideas, etc anyone can give me about the setup above and proposed mods please do so.
Here's a pic from the Ebay auction which I just one on July 4th.. It had 6K miles on it but has never been titled as it was transfered from the chevy dealer to an aftermarket shop.

Thanks!

I appreciate the warm welcome.
I'm apprehensive until I see it in my driveway! The auction's "buy it now" was over $42K. I called to see if I could get him to come down enough to cover shipping and I would "buy it now". he wouldn't so I waited for the auction to end and won it at $38,800. I was actually afraid he would come up with a reason not to sell it, but so far all is tracking well.
