Yes you should, Crystal Red Tint is very nice, but they all look great. Good luck in your hunting.

If you can afford it, sure!

Thanks Ozzy! Lol

The AGM looks pretty good. Not that I'm biased at all... I was dead set on black till I saw AGM in person. You will love it! Pictures really don't do it justice.

Absolutely not. Stupid question.

Thanks everyone for the advice ! I really appreciate it...I think the ashen gray is gonna be the winner...kind of off topic question but how long does this learning to drive stick thing normally take? I just dunno if I should buy the car right away or wait until Im competent with it...

Go 1LE. I ditched my Audi S4 for it and I'm VERY glad I did. The Audi is a fine car but there really isn't quite anything like the handling of a 1LE and the NPP exhaust.

Just look it up on the Internet how to properly do it, and then go practice. Or you can just ride with somebody who drives one daily and learn from them. It shouldn't take more than a couple of hours

it won't take you very long to get the basics of it down. just don't get upset with yourself when you kill it. it's gonna happen while you're learning. if you've got a friend who has a manual, see if they're willing to let you take their car around a parking lot or something and help you out.

buy the car

I think you should wait until you feel fully comfortable with manual. You'll miss out on the fun initially if you use a brand new Camaro as a learning tool. Driving through slow traffic and getting started uphill are something you need to master first. Then try to focus on fast shifting to improve acceleration and also on rev matching. It should not take more than 2/3 weeks if you practice properly. Meantime if needed, you can try to sell your G8 to a private party or work out a better deal with the dealer. Usually trading in previous car is not the best way to go. Do not rush. Good luck.

LMAO - I didn't want to bring up HSA but the cat is out of the bag thanks to you

Anyways, he has to learn it to be qualified as a competent stick driver. HSA is a PITA!

Haha I love the difference in opinions oh i don't know if anyone knew but there's a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT for sale in tonawanda ny 36k miles black and red leather interior !!

MPHS_AGM · 06-13-2013, 10:15 PM

Can't go wrong with a 1LE. I love my car!

camaro1le · 06-14-2013, 09:12 AM

I was actually thinking of letting my car go.... Maybe start a build... I have a black 2ss 1le with npp exhaust. I,ve added a slp supercharger, moroso oil separator, kooks coated stepped headers, zl1 rockers and dimpled the rotors[More cosmetic than functional]. It,s a great car but I,ve only put 260 miles on it,,, I guess I enjoy wrenching more than driving.... Any thoughts on price would be appreciated. I DON,T need to sell it. So I would never take a beating on the price. Thanks Max {camaro 1le}
