Purchasing tomorrow! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm purchasing my new 2011 2SS tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not new to this great car, have owned a Z28, a 1998SS and a 2000 SLP SS in the past along with a couple vettes including a Z06.
After driving my Yukon Denali with the 6.2, I am stoked with this engine.

Wanting a new car it came down to:
New ZR1
New Z06
New CTS-V
New Camaro SS

After really thinking about plunking down 70-80K I just couldn't do it, and I have to admit I have a huge soft spot for any Camaro. My neighbor across the street has a 20,000 mile fully original 69 Z28, and a fully restored 69 Yenko 427, so we all like these cars around here, and I am constantly reminded about this new car's terrific heritage.

Here's the sticking point for me: Color!

I have it down to two choices
1. Black
2. Orange

Black because of the classic great looks and stealthy attitude. Orange, because as a kid I lusted over a 69 Hugger Orange SS car. I think this new orange is almost the same color??
I will not run the stock wheels, so the orange car with something like Chrome Boss 338's looks good, but then so does a black car w/white stripes with something like 5-spoke Fiske brushed aluminum wheels.

Big Post...I know but like I said, I'm stoked!

I remember my slotted race car track had '69 hugger orange Camaro with white stripes. If you go orange, have your stripes painted white and get the orange interior.

I would have gotten black if there was a red interior inserts and gone with red stripes. This was the setup on my '80 Z-28 and looked great.
