New vert owner - long time Camaro / Vette guy

I've gravitated more to BMW's recently, but I've kept Chevy trucks, Camaro's and Vettes in and out of the stable for many years.

Previous Camaro's:
1989 IROC - purchased new
1987 Camaro CMC NASA road race car
1968 Camaro hot rod - 383
1969 Camaro hot rod - late model corvette LT1 and front suspension

Previous Vettes:
1991 Z07 coupe - eventually turned into a dedicated road race car
2003 Z06
2006 and 2007 Z51 coupes w/ 6MT

Previous convertible:
2008 BMW 328i (currently for sale btw - shameless plug!)


Current truck - 2016 Colorado LT 4x4



And last but not least - the latest addition to the fold, 2016 1SS vert, 6MT in hyper-blue!!

Beautiful! You're gonna love it! I also just traded in a BMW on a 16 'vert, and I couldn't be happier!

All you hyper blue guys... i am thinking it may be one of the best colours GM has ever paired with a car... It really looks amazing...

Congrats and welcome back to the camaro family.

Still have two in the stable - my daily is a 03 M5, and one of my kids is driving a 1995 525i which is just a fantastic car despite the age.

But ya - I'm very stoked to have this upgrade over the 328i.

I was looking at some 335is and M3 verts and the Jag XK and then figured I should at least give the Mustang and Camaro's some consideration. Thought seriously about a 2007-9 Shelby GTS-500, but then when I read about the re-design in 2016 especially with the automatic top I was sold. And then I drove one and it was as good as they said and more!!

I am a big fan of red and blue cars. My first Camaro and my 68 were both red. My M5 is red. I ordered a Red Rock Colorado, but then the production was delayed and I ran across the Lasar Blue shown above and fell in love with that color even more - has some purple in it.

My first car was blue - custom metallic color, owned that car for 20 years. 1963 Impala. I've always loved the C5 Nassau Blue and the C6 LeMans blue. Also owned a X5 4.6is in a rare blue similar to this hyperblue called Estoril Blue. Oh - and come to think of it I even had a Mitsu Evo IX in dark blue.

Ya - you could say it's my favorite car color. But depending on the car - red is a very close second. For sure on a Corvette. Oh - my second C6 was Lemans Blue.

BMW guy here too. Also a big fan of blue! I've had a few Chevys in my day too. It's been a long time though and this Camaro SS is the perfect homecoming.

Looking forward to finding this a new home so I can get my Hyper Blue SS.
