Rolled 11K Miles Today... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

She was built & framed on 4/22/2009, and she was delivered on 6/3/2009. When I ordered her on 10/13/2008, the excitement made me feel like a five year old that just gave Santa his Christmas list. As the post-order days and weeks went by, the excitement turned into a palatable anticipation. Somewhere along the way, the anticipation turned into frustration... then, I got "the call".

She's sexy and I still get chills when I press the gas pedal. Her drop dead gorgeous looks and satisfying roar make me feel like the big man on campus, every time I drive her around town. She's a daily driver and a nightly detailer, and to this day I still find myself staring at her like Tony Stewart in the Armour All commercial.

She's a head turner and has been since the first time I drove her. Although there are a few more on the road these days, she's still turning heads, soliciting thumbs-up and pleasant waves, attention from crowds in parking lots and accolades from those that appreciate her caressable lines and muscular stance.

She's fast but not fast like the girls I dated in high school, fast like the hotrod that I always wanted but could never afford. She's mean but not mean like a short boss w/a Napoleon complex, mean like a muscle car that can take you through an 1/8 mile in just over eight seconds and a 1/4 mile in under thirteen.

She had 11,005 miles when I parked her at work this morning. What an incredible five months it's been. It's hard for me to believe that five months ago I turned her key for the first time, it still feels like yesterday. She's everything I ever wanted in a car and a whole lot more.

SirBrad · 11-05-2009, 12:37 PM

Picked mine up on 6/1 and am currently 14 miles until I hit 11,000 - which I will reach on the drive home this evening.

Great stuff!

2010 SSRS · 11-05-2009, 01:29 PM

Got mine August 6th and just turned 196 miles last week, and probably won't be driving to much more with winter on the way.

Dr Jkel · 11-05-2009, 01:42 PM

You know the funny thing about this story is it is not made up because I feel the exact same way Had mine since July 1 only 2424 miles when I parked it this morning after a very enjoyable ride to work. I can see Dr Jkel from the window in my office. RJT and it is a nice sunny day about 65 degrees, can't wait for work to end, but she is gleaming in the sunlight. What an awesome car, absolutely awesome.

Rob53 · 11-05-2009, 02:17 PM

Next time I drive her she will turn past 2000. Built 4-27-09, delivered 5-11-09. Still a thrill! 2SS/RS Borla axle back exhaust CAI, makes sweet music.
