Bought a 2011 Camaro 2SSRS 6 speed manual from IAA auction in Washington this week - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Been 18 months since buying the 2011 2SSRS manual transmission convertible from only looking at auction pictures & video of engine running. It turned out to be a great car. Everything works, no codes, blown bags or locked seat belts. Even the ac blows cold. Have taken it on several roadtrips and has never left me stranded.

I recently purchased a 2023 2SS convertible so once my 73 Camaro is running I might end up selling the 2011.

It was 100° at my house today so did a beach trip today with the 2011. Temp at the beach was 60° (Oregon).

Way cool!

Glad this car is being enjoyed as I remember the original plan was to carve it up for the 2nd Gen. The 5th Gen Camaro is IMO one of the best looking convertibles as it looks good top down or top up. I'm thinking when the '73 is done a "for sale" sign should be placed in the '23, but I realize they're a nice ride also.

The 2023 Camaro 2SS is for my wife and is a 10 speed auto. If the 2011 was auto we wouldn't of bought the 2023. I will still get my manual fix in the 73 Camaro with the 6.2L LS3 & 6 speed manual.
Here's the 2023
