And god I hated the wheels they are so die cast from the toy and hated them on the toys back then. SO they get to say hey its a hot wheels...give us another five grand and more.............For a appearance package with a little grounds effects. I know the 1le package is such a better deal and am disappointed in g.m. for making this cost so much. The color is nice, the badging and all yet it should have came with old school cragars you cannot find anywhere for that price.......ANd it would have made more impact for the price than the wheels even when I was a kid I said WTF too............ No one ever drove those style of rims on a car in back in the day, they were just what a plastic mold came in..........And you should have asked reason why people who could have bought one did not.....Price not worth it with the fugly wheels and no performance advantage.
The reason we bought this car was for the look. Yeah it costs more but to me it makes no difference. Think of all the other Camaro owners on this site who have spent a lot of money to make their car look unique. Mine just happens to come from GM with a lot of unique features. If you were to go get the same paint job on your car, it would cost a lot more then $350.

Not everyone is going to like it. Same thing for people with the changes for the Camaro in 2014. But 99% love the car. I get thumbs up and compliments constantly. I have caught many people staring at the car in the parking lot. I've even had one guy pull an illegal U-turn to come look at the car. Doubt that happens with a Black 2SS in stock trim.
