[SSDan]

Hello to the C5 world. I've been lurking for several weeks and like what I see so I thought I would join. I'll share a little info about my Camaro and other observations to catch up to everyone else.

- On 11/11/09 I bought a 2010 VR 2SSRS LS3 with silver rally stripes and the painted engine cover.
- I haven't seen the VR with the silver stripes anywhere on the forum so is it rare?
- I traded in a Black 03 Infiniti G35 6MT and paid cash for the difference.
- I paid MSRP less the crediut union and $500 return discounts
- I test drove a SIM SS LS3 the day before and knew it was time to step it up and let the g35 go.
- I wanted a VR LS3 and with great luck for me one arrived the next day so took delivery strasight from the transport truck with 3.5 test mikes on it!
- I hail from the original muscle car days and owned several small and big block 60's GM iron and even a 70 Mustang Mach 1 ( no hate mail please - and it would haul the mail!)
-The LS3 pulls like a 60's big block and that is a good thing!
-The DIC says I'm averaging 14.5 MPG but that last two tanks by hand calculation only yeilded 11.5 MPG ( must have been those demonstration rides to friends and family)
- I've got 1000 miles on her(Kammi) and she has been stuck snow bound in frosty Ohio for about 3 weeks now.
-She is not my DD but I do drive her every chance I get. Not afraid to get her wet or dirty but am afraind of summer tires on frozen roads. Tried that - not safe!
- Still getting use to the restricted visibility when parking and backing up but the trade off is I do love the hunkered down in my own cockpit feel.

That's enough for now. I will post replies to some interesting threads I've recently seen. And oh I know = this thread is worthless w/o pictures so here are a couple of Kammi shots:
