Folks, I'm here to tell you it was an amazing experience and you will LOVE your new Camaros!!!!!

Spoken like a true sponsored race car driver for Chevrolet!

But no doubt believe him. Wonder how fast he got that Maro up to.

Wouldn't it be cool if your local racetrack had a Camaro day where you pay a fee, sign a waiver and drive your car on a track? Seem to remember MIS had something like that 5-6 years ago for the T/A,

The first thing Johnson said was, "Do you mind if I turn the air conditioner off? It's 10 mph faster with it off."

I don't have an exact speed reading, but he had the hammer down.

Thats awesome, I am so jealous that you were able to go around the track in my favorite car, driven by my favorite driver.

I'm pretty sure that colours like cyber gray require a mix of luck and skill to get an excellent shot of. They just change too much between lighting conditions and angles, and then the quality of the camera, and it goes on. Also, noticing the blue in the ZR1 at that autoshow . . . notice how the lights are blue in the background? I'm pretty sure that has something to do with it.

Oh and

On one of the cyber grey vette's I've seen at the Miami auto show, the hood was a different shade of grey (less blue flakes) in ti than the rest of the car.. So perhaps it is also in the mix as well and may differ slightly between paint refills...

That right there is possible reason why flashy cars get stolen over non flashy ones....

PS CGM looks amazing if you do some Blue or Chrome accents.. it makes the little accents POP more then most colors... Kinda like how black does to Chrome.
