yea, where are the pics. I have 1200 on my car now. Having little rattle noise issue in lower rear end of car. It's not the spoiler loose nut issue. They have called GM about this to get some help. Sounds like chains clinking together, but when they put it up on the rack, they can't see anything loose.

Check the suspension

I'm at 180 miles now! That's probably what you guys put on in a weekend.
I did pay for tags, sales tax and title this evening. We have thirty days to get the car legal after purchase. The dealer doesn't handle that part of the sale. They can issue us a 30 day temp tag.
Just shy of $2200. That includes tag fees for two years.

Well, I'm up to 60 miles. So far I've added a custom dash plaque, tinted the windows, splash guards, gill inserts, Weathertech floor mats and a trunk liner.

They had it up on the lift and can't find anything loose. They called GM Camaro Specialist. Waiting on call back, but I have my car. It just sound horrible when going over bumps, like it's going to fall apart now :(

Passed 200 miles on the odometer today. That means I have put a 100 on it now in a month. It had 96 miles on it when I picked it up. I washed it three times and driven it six times. 'Bout the right ratio I would think. Latest (ugly) mod, wife insisted I put front license plate and bracket on. There will be no pictures, can't bear to show anyone.

I've been playing with S and M modes this last week - S sure is a lot of fun - it stays in lower gears longer so the acceleration is really immediate! I've also used TAPshift a bunch of times - one thing I noticed is you need to anticipate your shifting points because if you get too close to max rpms before shifting, because of the slight delay of the shift, it hits max rpms and kinda shuts off until it has shifted.
The car really feels like it's glued to the road - I've been racing around some windy roads and it's amazing how easy she handles!

Hope y'all are having as much fun as I'm having

Soooo...how has everyone rides beeen?

About 2000 miles on the counter - not a single issue so far. MPG ranging from 23 to 13 depending on how much fun I'm having ;-)

I have been averaging around 19-20. I load it heavy before I shift though

I have about 1200 miles on it and so far so good. *knocking on wood* I have only one tiny chip on the front bumper. Other than that, she is holding up well. I still haven't pushed it yet. Top speed for me was about 80, which doesn't even count becasue I was unaware of it.

Wow - I've made it to 120 mph on several occasions when it was safe to do so! At what rpm do you shift? When I drive in S mode, I'm close to 6000 rpm when it shifts - exhilarating!! Pure power :-)

I do have a couple of minor scratches already though - luckily nothing too serious or visible.

Holy guacamole! 120mph...that does sound like a rush.

Damn, well I though I was heavy but damn 6k. I usually on average shift between 3k to 4k between gears.

You have an SS though, so your exhilarating ride will always top mine :(
