"SHARK" MAKES LANDFALL IN TORONTO - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

SQUALO · 06-24-2009, 09:45 PM

I am happy

to announce that my Camaro has arrived and is happily resting at the dealership. The pre-PDI inspection, carried out by ME, has passed, and a more detailed one will follow, after it's cleaned, and when I pick it up. Since I was there only 1hr after it arrived, I managed to get all the necessary paperwork from inside the car (i.e. window sticker etc.) before they started going through it. I will give the dealer some points that they called me, so I could go through it before they began the PDI. Unfortunately I have to wait for the white rally stripes to arrive and be "dealer installed", therefore the "shark" will be in quarantine for a while

. Photo's will follow upon completion of the car, so save your breath and DON'T TELL ME:

Ordered: March 14, 2009
BORN: JUNE 5, 2009
Arrived: June 24, 2009
PICKED IT UP AND BROUGHT IT HOME: JUNE 30, 2009

HERE ARE THE LONG AWAITED PICS OF THE 'SHARK' IN IT'S TRUE COLORS...SORRY FOR THE DELAY...ENJOY! (pics taken @ NASCAR SPEED PARK @ VAUGHAN MILLS)

Apparently I learned that only 2LT & 2SS trim levels get factory installed stripes, as far as white & cyber grey are concerned.

Sorry, I got you confused with someone else. If the dealer gets all the paper work in order, I will be picking it up on Saturday, and then they'll call me when the stripes arrive. This way I can enjoy the car, instead of it sitting at the dealer where every "tom, dick & harry" can get their hands on it.

See the first response I wrote in this reply section.

That's a plan that's been in the works for months, and hope it comes together, we're all due.

I know exactly what you mean, I was only getting anxious after I found out it was built and waiting transport. Prior to that, it didn't bother me as much, and now that it's here, even without the stripes for now, I'm soooooo

. I'll be estatic once I get the stripes. There was a 2SS with the same color combo that I ordered, right down to the stripes, parked next to mine, I joked with the salesman, get a ratchet, and we'll swap the hood and trunk lid

Just a little lesson in definition, "SQUALO" actually means shark in Italian, I had used it on my 1980 C3 vette that I had (C3's were known to have the shark body). I'm just glad that the Camaro has the same body lines to justify the name. I think you naming your car shark is quite fitting, go for it!
