What a day.......in a V6 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So....It's a normal Friday off and taking the fiancee up to Quantico in Virginia. I told her while we were up that way we would stop by the Manassas dealership and check out the black camaro they have. By the way, the car is amazing. Pretty excited after seeing my first camaro. Then going home, back to Fredericksburg, Virginia.....I was traveling down Rt. 1 near Radley Chevrolet. I look to my right and I see something that looks like a camaro. And there it was, one yellow and one silver. At this point I'm feeling pretty lucky now seeing 3 camaros in a day before noon. Well it get's better.....I call the dealership(I ordered from) in Orange, VA and talked to a buddy of mine that I graduated with and he tells me that their trucker just called and said he would be there with their camaro (2LT Auto w/ remote start Yellow, sunroof MSRP 29K). So i ask him the color and it ends up being the Yellow camaro I saw on Rt.1. When I get to the dealership, there she was just being pulled out by the mechanic. We get pictures and right before I get to leave my salesman ask if I want to take her for a spin. Of course I didn't refuse and hopped in. OMG, the V6 is more then I ever expected. It rides so well and quiet. I thought I was going to have multiple car wrecks around me with so many people rubber necking. I can't wait till my 2SS comes in and see what she has. The dealer allowed me to punch it and what a rush. There's nothing wrong with this car other than the back seat. I could care less because this was meant to be a 2 seater. My day is over and I could care less what happens now.

I will have pics later tonight.

It's nice that dealers are finally granting test drives, but one has to ask are these vehicles "broken in" before every Tom, Dick and Harry go blasting around and going WOT??

I hope these vehicles will be heavily discounted. If I were buying a new Camaro and it had more than 10 miles it I'd be leery.

I guess my question applies to every new Camaro buyer. Would you pay MSRP for a "test driven" Camaro?

Tom, I dont think I would pay msrp on a new vehicle. I take great care of my car, and i wouldnt let half the behavior that people do to test vehicles be done in mine......btw, when is your ss coming in, Im still at status 3000 on my v6.....

Just spoke with my dealer, he said I went from 4200 to Bayed to 4300 and back to Bayed. Not sure what that means.
