My car is filthy!! Time to give her a nice wash!

DerbyChamp06 · 02-05-2011, 09:37 PM

Hay everyone! Been a long time. As much as I wanted to get an ABM Camaro too, it was not to be. But I'm happy to say I just got a great deal on a new 10' Challenger SE today, in a very ABM-like Deep Water Blue! Ironically, the 11' Challenger SE's won't be available in this color anymore either....just in IBM-like blue....I got the last "ABM" SE in the greater Twin City metro area! Maybe someday a medium blue Camaro will be in the cards, but til then, will look forward to seeing your cars posted here, and enjoying my "ABM" Challenger

Gave mine a bath and a nice coat of wax.

Hi Mike, actually the B5 is quite a bit lighter. This was taken with flash in my dark garage, so it shows a bit lighter than in reality. The B5 is a great color too. Still surpised GM doesn't come up with another med/lighter blue for the Camaro again.

Did Aqua Blue Metalic get discontinued??? I don't see it as an option on the 2011's.

Contacting the chevy dealer atm, let me know if anyone has info on this

I really like that blue color on the Challenger. If I were to get a Challenger I'd get that color too!

Derby Champ 06- What made you get the Challenger over the Camaro. I wish they had made the B5 Blue available in the 6. I looked at the deep water blue on the challenger before i got my Camaro. I think the sun plays games with it like the abm on the Camaro I've seen it on their trucks and look completely different then on the Challenger. I think the 11 challenger with the 6 and the Heavy duty brakes and suspension would be a excellant choice they need a lighter blue also. I like my Camaro but my wife is not comfortable with the low passenger seat even with 2 pillows. I,ve been giving some thought to selling the Camaro and looking at the Challenger again. Enjoy your new Challenger Both are great cars . I wish GM would come up with a fix for the passenger seat.

Yep, I was very happy to get the last SE in that color locally. 11's will have more power, dual exhaust, but only available in dark blue....color was more important to me

Thanks! I got a really got a good deal on one, cheaper than even a base manual LS Camaro would be. Also, with my bad back, liked that it has adjustable lumbar support for both front seats, and the ride is a little softer. The 11's are supposed to be stiffer with the stonger motor. Still would rather have a Camaro, but it would have to have RS, and optioned out right, I just couldn't afford that right now....Also, medium blue really sealed the deal.

Wonder if there's after-market solution for the low passenger seat in yours? Hopefully you can find a solution. Having rented a Camaro, I can say it is definitely a funner car to drive, so hopefully you can hang onto yours...With deeper pockets, I'd have one too, but am thankful to have a Challenger for now.

DerbyChamp 06- Sounds like you got a terrific deal. Sometimes i wish i had gone for the b5 blue r/t that was available when i got my camaro. The Camaro is more fun to drive. Not as much fun as the 01 vet i had. I will properly hold of for awhile before i do anything. L have enough toys already. The Doctor just gave may the ok to get back in my race car . So i,ll try to have some fun with it this year. It's been hard to let it set for the last year an a half. Especially when i had just freneshend everything up.
