Yep They All have V6 installed also, if you want a v8 it cost extra to pull the v6 out and put the v8 in. LOLROF

They must do it at the same place they add the stripes at.

A lot of salesmen do not fully know their product. Recently bought a nice size john Deere tractor model 534. The salesmen didn't know it was a 4 wheel steering model. I just pointed to the sticker on the rear fender which said "four wheel steering". These salesmen waste their downtime not learning their product. Must be looking at porn on the net instead. Price is what i"m looking at. I can take it anywhere for service

That manager deserves a good kick in the head.

And we have rear windows that go down.

I believe there is a difference in the convertible's rear sway bar compared to the coupe's.

Also, some of the biggest differences can easily be seen by parking your car next to a coupe. The entire body is different from the drivers door back, especially the "hips" quarter glass, trunk lid, etc.

Many convertibles have been done by 3rd party companies rather than the OEM, ASC did the 3rd gen Fbody convertibles, and a bunch of other cars in from mid 70s through the 90s. But no the 5th gen is done inhouse.

Print out this picture of proof and take it back to the dealer. Had to dig around a bit to find it, but I watched them put the front and rear fascias on this particular car.

Wouldn't it be cool if GM would have select positions that take pictures of the car's being built for customer's ordered cars and have them put on a USB and put into the glove compartment for the new owners to see their car being assembled?

Baba · 04-28-2015, 09:32 AM

That'd be pretty cool.

From the same company that brought us the famous Hurst shifters!

George Hurst was very creative with automotive products, but put safety and military support at the top of his list.

The Manager is right guys! There is actually a third "S" model of the Camaro. RS, SS, and BS. Guess which one the Manager was talking about?
