dang. You really can't even hear the exhaust in the last vid. Guess I'll have to get a performance exhaust or something to change that.

These are Midnight Silver

Took me a few reads to get that. So what do we think the AZ pic wheels are?

Painted LT non-rs 18" wheels.

And are the VR SS wheels the standard painted SS wheels (I think so), or polished optional SS wheels?

I will try to group a few of your requests for opportunities as long as the weather keeps cooperating! I will try to post a few pics tomorrow evening (I am having trouble tonight?)

Happy Trails!

Hey, are the wheels on that car polished optional SS wheels or standard SS wheels? Thanks.

Awesome vids! It's great to see the car in candid shots. Especially when it drives up in the first vid. Looks great!

OK. I'll fess up. I drove it too. Nice ride. That definitely clinched it for me. I'll be placing my order shortly. I refrained from trying to replicate the burnout I did in my 69 though. Don't want to be the first guy to break one.

TLSTWIN · 01-02-2009, 07:16 AM

I can't believe you didn't request a "kinda hard" acceleration when they left your place and get the audio/video of it.

All you had to do is show them the V6 video and explain to them. We didn't need a burn out.

None of you that were there mentioned the the exhaust note either

THAT PICTURE IS A LT RS AND DOES NOT HAVE 18" WHEELS. LOOK AT THE HID HEADLIGHTS. THOSE ARE THE DARK 20" MIDNIGHT SILVER WHEELS.

We did discuss the exhaust while they were there. There's another video on YouTube of Bryan pulling out of the driveway. You can hear my wife say "It's not loud". I replied "We can fix that", and the guy videotaping says "Right".

I considered myself very lucky to even get a chance to crawl around the car, let alone drive it. I wasn't going to ask him if I could hammer it.

I understand all that, but YOU didn't have to. Just ask them to get on it a little when they leave while you video tape it, like the V6 clip.

I think the video you are talking about is posted in the thread here.

Don't forget that this car and any videos that end up on the web represent the person who is driving GM's car. We were very fortunate that Heather and her husband took the time to show some of the Camaro5 forum members the car. And when you hear the car in person and rev it to 6000rpms you wont be disappointed!

DAMNIT

Today I am finally heading down to Marco Island and Naples for the day after being in Fort Myers for over a week now, and was excited to be on the lookout for you... Now you won't even be there

I agree 100%. We're just lucky to be able to get a look at this car, and get some questions answered....as for burnout videos and hard take offs, I'll leave that for when I get my own.

A quick stop in Pittsburgh on the way back to the factory should not be to difficult.

I thought that the 4 pack guages were going to be available as a Dealer installed option later on. I would bet that you will be able to buy all the parts and install it yourself at some time.
