No problem...have you heard the cat back Borla system? If so, how do you think your axle back system compares in sound?

haleyd · 08-13-2009, 07:59 PM

indpowr- what % is your tint? it looks like it's just right... or is it pretty dark?

Indpowr · 08-13-2009, 08:08 PM

20% sides and rear and 55% on front window.

haleyd · 08-13-2009, 08:31 PM

So, I like most of you I have been tracking my Camaro. I've waited patiently for each update, checking them daily, pestering my dealer and finally received confirmation of shipment from the factory. I even got a rail car number which I tracked to the rail yard.
The car was off-loaded, sat in the rail yard yesterday and then apparently was loaded onto a truck. I check this morning and it said "delivered". At 5:30 tonight the dealership manager called. He said "I looked up your car on the GM dealer tracking site and it said that your car was listed as delivered, so I walked all around the dealership and couldn't find it". Uh...say What!

Yep, its not there. So it looks like my car is sort of.....missing.

Not good. Hope its just a mistake but we'll see...

Do you have the capability of putting some video up on the Borla axle back for sound? I've only heard the cat back version. I've narrowed my choices down to the SLP LM2 axle back or the Borla axle back.

Thanks in advance!

My tint is not legal here in FL but a lot of cops look past it. It is not that dark.

I have full Borla exhaust on my C6 and it is MUCH louder. I was told that the full exhaust should not sound much different than this one. I would have thought it would be much louder. The strange part is the car would not let it go over 4k in P or N.

Sorry for the strange revs but I was trying to figure out the RPM stuff.

The chevy website does this color no justice. After seeing it on there, it quickly became one of my more non-affectionate colors. However, after seeing several pictures from Camaro owners who got the color, it's grown on my a lot, and worked its way up to one of my top 3 choices for 2010 colors.

hahaha! and i'm the opposite. the chevy website is what made me fall in love with this color... but now after seeing pictures of it i'm not sure i like it nearly as much. i still like it a lot, but it's just not the same color as the one on the website that i LOVE! although someone did tell me that in person they see the same color the website shows!

Ok got off the phone with my dealer and he told me that with in two weeks he would be calling me in to finalize the build and that I should have my car by the end of September... Hey even if its October I dont' care that so made my day just to hear its geting closer to my dream car coming home.

Chevyman1200 · 08-15-2009, 01:54 AM

Got a call today from my dealer. The car finally showed up. Just was entered as delivered before it left on the truck. Its really unbelievable, the color is perfect especially in the sun.
The dealer called at 11:30 this morning, I picked it up at 2:00 this afternoon and he told me he already had five offers to buy it on the spot and a sixth who was praying I didn't pick it up before he got off work so he could see it.

Here are a couple photos. I'll post a few more on Sunday.

Also Thanks to everyone who provided tracking support and info. It really made the whole process alot more fun and much easier to handle the long wait.

Bad news...

I woke up this morning and noticed a scratch on my car. It's a little over an inch, and it's pretty deep. Not terrible, but it's white so I guess the paint is scratched off. On the front of the car on the passenger's side. I don't know what to do. :(

This car has many different colors to it depending on the lighting. I do see the darker color from the website, especially at dusk. I love it and all who have seen it comment on how much they like the color. I just picked mine up yesterday. The picture attached is from Thursday afternoon just after it arrived. They put the silver rallys on yesterday. I will have pics soon with the stripes.
