Might want to check the parts for sale section for a deal on a good used set to use. Good Luck
By the way the wheels to buy new are $850.00 each and tires are around $250-275 .At $30,000.00 for purchase that's a good deal!
Coupe or vert? Forgot to ask earlier.

Oh yeah. It's a coupe with automatic. Beautiful car. I dug a little and found it was owned by a Pastor of a church about 80 miles from me. I spoke to his grandson who was the only other driver, and that was to take it and detail for the grandfather. The Pastor past away last September and his wife just let bank have car.

Just bought mine with 8000 miles on it. Thought you might appreciate this. I am a Life long Dallas Cowboys Fan, since 1967. This car is so remarkably beautiful, I did not care that it is Philadelphia Eagles colors.

Congrats on the new ride If you go to your local Chevy dealer or if you purchased from a Chevy dealer they can look up a build sheet for your car via vin number .
Also, look under the trunk mat on the left side floor there is a build sticker with all the codes for the options on the car.
Good luck Auto is the 99 400hp. Manual is Ls3 426hp.

Hahahaha now that's funny, I'm a lifetime Eagles fan.....

Oh, these tires are more like 450 each for fronts and 625 each for the rears!!! Not doing many burnouts!!!!! They are a weird size that NOBODY except Pirelli makes them! Those 21 inch chromies look fantastic on there.....I put stainless gill covers on my Flash, they get set off nicely by the Emerald Green!

Happy motoring!!! Hope you got the NPP exhaust, it sounds badass!!!

So Carmax bought from the bank and out for sale. Intresting. I kind of follow where these are in the US and how owners come across them.
It is a collectable by the low production numbers, and the fact that it is a special edition. There are many special editions out there other than the COPO cars but for 2015 811 produced it is still low.

Thanks for your reply, yes we did buy it from a chevy dealer right of the showroom floor, car is in storage now, but when we get her out I will check out the options.

Yeh I priced the tires at a Discount tire store. Pirelli is only manufacturer of th fronts. So For all 4 tires it will cost about $2100. I did not get the NPP exhaust you mentioned. I bought it used so had no options it didn't come with.

Like I said earlier the wheels and tires are expensive to say the least. If you drop to 20's much better choices for rims and tires if you plan on daily driving. Mine, not a daily driver I have less than 1k on mine. Just how I keep all my cars, low miles and original but everyone has their own take on having a collectable autos.
Have several others in my stable but not going to steer other people to not enjoy their rides. Personal preference.Your choice.

Yeah I am going to drive regularly, which I know will diminish the value. When I purchased I was not aware of how few of these there are. I am conflicted as to what I should do. I almost think its wrong to drive a car like this on a regular basis. Funny, my Wife and I went to dinner the other night and as I was dropping her off at the door, a gentleman came out to see what kind of car it was. I dont think the car looks that different, but it is an eye catcher. But then again, out of about 20 Camaro at Carmaxit sure caught my eye.

Because I am new to owning a Camaro I have to ask a dumb question. If I buy other wheels to daily drive, will 2016 SS wheels fit this car? My 2015 Emerald Green Camaro
