YAY FOR YOU!!
Hope everything moves along FAST!!!

Indydriver · 03-20-2014, 01:22 PM

Thank you. It is interesting to me how relaxed I feel knowing the car is out there now and will eventually work it's way here. I was wound up tight in the very long anticipation of the build and now I'm just happy to know the process will end. I'm working with the salesman now to finalize the financing, incentives and all the other stuff so that on delivery day, I will be there as briefly as possible. I'm rearranging some stuff in the garage to make a little extra room and preparing the plan to install all the mods I've stockpiled plus do it's first detailing of the exterior. I'm ready. Nice to have Spring finally springing around here although they're saying cold again next week.

I hope transport[rail/truck] moves along fast for you. I know how agonizing it can be if it's ...s...l...o...w... believe, me!
When I ordered my 2012 2LT RS back in the summer of 2011, it was slow going, but there were several obstacles that popped up. The "snags" that hurt the worst, was being "bayed" for nearly 2 weeks due to a rail car shortage, then when the car finally crossed over into the USA, it hit another snag with a "bad order" rail car[break down of the car in Detroit]. That took almost another week for Union Pacific to fix the rail car. Then once it got to OOOOklahoma! there was to many rail cars waiting to be unloaded and it sat at the rail yard for 4 days. Finally my dealer called the district GM manager, and he called the rail yard, and then and only then, I got my car the next day! So my total time from ordering to getting the car was a little over 3 months!

Anyhoo, like I said, there were some extenuating circumstances, and I hope you [and I] don't have to deal with stuff like that this time around.

You will have a blast putting on your mods! Smart to have them all waiting so when you get the car you can hop to it.

I've told my dealer I'd prefer to do the first wash and detail myself as I'm extremely picky about that, plus this will be the car that I will show this year with the club.

I will probably go ahead and get my CAI and Elite catch can ordered, and may go ahead and order the Noweeds as well. Since we plan on keeping this car for a very long time, we plan on doing a cam, long tube headers, and new exhaust, but haven't decided on which one yet.
I already have a BIG stash of Adam's products, so I'm good to go there.

Hope I haven't bored you to death...lol

Have fun with your mods and good luck on making the deal "quick and painless"!
Do pop in and say hey and post a pic when you get your ride, OK?

I'd be happy to. Not boring at all, I enjoy reading other folks experience. Some other anxious parents waiting for their babies have said there's a rail car shortage again plus a decent snow storm up there so could be more delays. I'm OK with that and hoping my car is indoors at the stripers.

Your comments made me think about something important--the first wash. I'll bet the dealer runs the new cars through an automatic car wash. I do not want my new convertible going through a car wash! I'll have to talk to my salesman about that. We already had the conversation about no dealer insignias and if the bumper's been drilled for a front license plate, the deal's off.

punk5150 · 03-22-2014, 12:31 PM

Lol. Another person like me. Don't drill holes in the bumper for the plate and no dealer decals or the deal is off.
That's the way you have to be with these guys.

Oh NO!!! Hope it's resolved ASAP!!!!! You'd think they[RR] could manage this situation a little better! AARRGGHH!!!

Definitely want to do my first wash; Summit White WILL show swirl marks!! again, AARRGGHH!!

Hope your car shows some movement this week. Good luck and keep us posted!

Indydriver · 03-24-2014, 09:55 AM

Hey Krazee, have you found any other SSE owners yet? You're the only one on this forum AFAIK. That might end up being a very low production special which just makes it extra cool in my book!

Not TPW 4-14-14, ...but to answer your question...
It's an earlier build, still at the dealership for some 'details'.
The car in person is stunning. Hopefully the snow will melt before I go pick it up...

no others that I know of....
except KevinK! LOL.

I've been trying to find a picture of a "real" SSE, not just the SEMA or internet pics I've seen. Please post some more pics, especially a hood shot, if possible? I'm a little afraid the BRM is not going to look 'blue' enough...what do you think?

Come on 4/14....get here in a hurry!

For me, the BRM needed to be more blue. These are some of the 'details' being done at the dealership. (I will post pics when it's done...)

Camaro_krazee · 03-24-2014, 10:31 PM

Thanks for the extra pics, KevinK.
I was afraid from a distance, the BRM might look almost black-ish blue.
I told my hubby if worse comes to worse, we'll get our paint guy to repaint the blue to make it more like a cobalt blue. I still think that would look good with the interior; food for thought.
I'm still not sorry I ordered it sight unseen....that's how bad I wanted the SSE...LOL.

The vert is quite an eye catcher for sure, with that blue top. You can't go wrong with Blue and White....just a clean and vibrant look.

Congrats on your new ride. she's a real beauty!
