My New Camaro Meets my '69, Pics, review

Ok, since I have about 400 miles on her now I guess I should give everyone a few review.
1. Looks, man is she sweet! I really cant find anything I dislike about the way she looks. Everywhere I drive her it is all camera phones, and thumbs up. Went to a local car show Fri nite, and you guessed it she was the star out of about 80 cars there. GM get an A+ on looks both inside and out!
2. About the only thing about her performance that I think could be better is the rear end ratio, need to step it up a notch, with the six speed manual I think it would really improve the drivability. I know all about the fuel economy, but a little lower ratio would make it easier to drive and alot quicker off the line. Have to give GM an A on this one.
3. Handeling is awsome, cant wait to get her broken in so I can really see what she'll do.
Will try to get in line with Leginfelter this next week, hope to get her up to about 570 RWHP.
21" wheels should be in soon.

Here are a few quick pics, even dusted off the ol '69.

Two beautiful cars!

Makes me miss my blue 68 SS convertible, while I am waiting for my ABM 2LT.
