$35,000 CAN

This is the only one with Manual Transmission i was able to find under $38,000$ CAN, in the Ocean of Automatic Transmission Camaro's.

The price is fair here in Quebec/Canada, definitly not the most pricey and it is a fully loaded 2SS/RS. So i'm happy!

I paid 25 out the door for my 2010 2LT RS. It only had 6800KM on it and that included an extended warranty. 35 OTD isn't a bad price for Canadain.

Could one of you confirm if the stock sound is like the video link i posted in my original post?

I want to have a small idea of how it sound before i see it Friday.

Wow - its been a while since I heard a video for a stock LS3. Yes, as I remember that is very close to the tone of mine when it was stock. People put down the stock exhaust being too quiet and not sounding very powerful. I would agree that at warm idle it is a little quiet. But I always thought that under full throttle it sounded pretty good. However,like most folks on this forum - I've moved on from there and nothing about mine sounds or acts stock any more!

Good luck with your purchase and with resisting the mod bug once you have it!

Thanks for the replies guys!

I now own the Camaro SS, and clearly this car is way too awesome for me. It is like if i was some geek and that the car is strongly trying to transform me into some jerk superstar. Hard to explain how i feel, but its awesome!

As for the exhaust, the car has stock exhaust and it is way louder than the other Camaro SS i heard in the street. Is it possible that i got a different type of exhaust? Note: The car has only 5000 miles, so pretty much everything is brand new.

The car really has 485 Engine HP, when they ordered the car they placed an order for some Corvette engine parts/accessories for the LS3 to push it up a bit, the original price of the car was $67,000(CAD). And since it is manufacturer parts, all is still on waranty(Hell, it is found on the Corvette, so...)

Will try to post pictures soon.

I believe that the other Camaro SS might have been an auto. Autos actually turn off half of their cylinders so from 8 to 4 cylinder engine to conserve gas. What you probably heard was the auto running with only 4 cylinders.

I've never heard of any dealer doing that with Corvette accessories. Doesn't make sense to me honestly.

I totally understand that you are skeptic, i was too, but the guy who originally ordered the car is actually the owner of a Chevrolet Shop, that probably explain it a bit? Anyway, i saw the original invoice and my jaw dropped.

ah ok usually when referring to the advertised horsepower its bhp, and since its a rear wheel drive car the actual hp that gets to the wheel is RWHP. FWHP is for front wheel drive vehicles like hondas=)

Thanks buddy for the explaination, i'm still struggling with all the english terminology and acronyms when talking about cars(like i said in my original post, french is my native language, from Quebec/Canada). I try my best not to destroy your language.
