I like everything but, the steering wheel. And for some reason I thought the seat badging was going to be on the headrest.. Hmmmm. I love the red, white, and blue stitching and the 45th badges.

Like th4e new additions but wished they would have been on mine

I guess I should have waited but I just had to have a new Camaro. I bought mine right at the start. I also wanted my color of Aqua Blue Metallic that is no longer available....thank goodness!
Its likely I have less money than most every other Camaro owner but I wanted it, and made it happen.
The bummer for me is my dealer lied to me about accessories I wanted to add to my car later that were on the SS (I could not afford). He said they were easy and cheap to add, like the fog lights and gauge package. Now there are a ton of other cool additions I don't have. In 2 years I have added $10,000 worth of work and items to mine and now the car comes with other cool ones stock. It never ends....
Kind of a bummer. I would love the seats and trim in mine. My outside is beautiful and I wouldn't change it for the world, but I still don't have either the lights or gauge package. I was told $1100 for the wiring harness alone to add them.
Still I love my car, but I'm bummed they didn't think it through and add all of these nice improvements at the start. I guess because it keeps getting kicked in the magazines behind 2 of the other new muscle cars on the market. I just read 2 today and 1 lists the Camaro dead last!
I of course disagree but that’s just me.

A very nice addition to mine was having my car hand cut and rubbed last week $850. It shines as well as any show car now. I had already had the live fire painted on and an additional coat of clear sprayed on the car.
Love the new additions and the old ones....no... on the strips though...

Mike

This is a total waste of money. I'm sure the MSRP will be 40k for the SS. All you are getting is a steering wheel that is the exact same that is on a Chevy cruze, a little suspension tweek, and some stiches. Keep what you have, it wont be worth going upside down 6-8k for this.

Just goes to show that GM DOES listen to their customers.

Keep one thing in mind:


When we change something on a Camaro:


50% love it

50% hate it


...........and 85% of those who hate it like it or love it 6 months later.

Great looking car. Love the 45th badging. For those of you with buyers remorse. All I can say is C'MON MAN You want to trade your car in for a new V6 because of 11 hp, or backup camera or whatever? These additions DON'T make this car better than yours. Just different. Enjoy your ride, save yourself the boatload of money you will lose on a trade. Enjoy your cars, don't let a new edition ruin the relationship you have with your current car.

looks good to me, i really like carbon flash metallic alot!!! if i didn't HAVE to have synergy green, i would have waited and ordered a 2012. That black metallic would look SOOOO good with glossy black stripes on it and the blacked out wheels like the aniversyr vette that is coming out. still happy with my Manits Camaro.

GM did listen...maybe listened a little tooooo much? The stiching is cool, but the stripes could have been a little better designed...or just left alone lol
