QUESTION TO ALL YOU CAMARO5 OWNERS !!! - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I chose mine because the white with beige interior is very classy & clean.

Originally I was looking specifically for a white 07'-09' Mustang GT/CS with tan interior. So either way, I was going to have white with tan/beige. But fell in love with the Camaro the minute I laid eyes on it, and my decision was made.

Originally I wanted yellow with black stripes like Bumble Bee because I've always been a Transformers fan. Then I saw Aqua Blue and thought that with silver or white stripes would look cool and be different. Then I saw the orange interior and wanted it so bad. Naturally I had to choose IOM and with the black stripes it just SCREAMS muscle car. I couldn't be happier. I get so many compliments and every time I look at it the perma grin shows up. Best decision ever.

It took all of 15 minutes to decide I wanted V8 over V6 and it was always going to be an M6.. But the color choice was a difficult one for me. In May, 2009 - you couldn't find a Camaro on a car lot, so I pretty much was looking at paint chips on a piece of paper. Those aren't really accurate.

The only color I ruled out was black, I love it, but I just don't have the time for it's maintenance.. Then a guy in Houston posted a picture of his newly acquired GCM, black stripes and I knew that's what I had to have.. Wish I had seen ABM in person though...

Honestly, is there a bad Camaro color, seriously?? Really??

I've had a thing for redheads

My wife will slap me now...
Part of it was that I preferred Cliffjumper over bumblebee from the original transformers, and I was irked I couldn't fine a proper colored Red Cliffjumper.. I have a Gen1 yellow cliffjumper still.

Forgot about all of that until it came time to getting a new car. I had a hard time telling Inferno orange from Victory red, but loved the color of RJT. Adding the black stripes does finish it off quite nicely. The matte black works great with the color, and isn't as sharp as RJT with white stripes. The silver stripes do match the actual camaro cliffjumper toy better, but I liked the black ones.

I love how RJT looks when it is shined up real nice.

Other colors I considered were silver and aqua blue. Silver was out thanks to my wife saying so, and the fact the Camry is grey and her malibu is silver.

Mom had a yellow Camaro when I was a kid...no brainer for me as it is in her memory.

I went with IOM with black stripes because that was my favorite look on the 1st gen Camaros.

d69chris · 09-02-2010, 09:00 PM

I like Orange, but ordered sight unseen.

Very happy with my choice.

RubyCamaro · 09-02-2010, 10:15 PM

I knew what color I wanted before I knew what car I wanted. I noticed that every time I did a second take on a sharp car, it was red & even moreso if it was metalic red. Once I decided I had to have a Camaro It had to be RJT no matter how much more it cost me. I love, love, love My Ruby.

IOM!

101ABN · 09-03-2010, 02:06 AM

Because IOM is BADASS and it changes depending on the light, so I get at least 3 colors in one!
