RJT rules the world!

Kirk, I finally realized why they call it Victory Red...cause they consider it a victory to get the color off the lot so it doesn't scare customers away

INFERNO ORANGE METALLIC
IT JUST SOUNDS SO MUCH COOLER THE Victory Red.
Name probably was picked on a friday at quiting time before a holiday. Most likely X-mas....hense the red

I did the fuse pull, let it sit a couple hours. I know seat of the pants is subjective but quick hop on I-76 and it feels like it pulls harder especially low end.

Also turns out in my excitement I mis-read the VIN. I forgot about the first 1, so I had read it as 14,5xx but it is really 45,xxx. Still fairly low production though newer then my 18,xxx 2LT. I do have the GM Chicklets and no backup sensors.

You can take those off with some fishing line.

Naaa, I like them. Something subtle that many people don't notice about the first half or so of the 2010 production run.

This must be a 2011 pie chart, 'cause the greatest color of all...ABM, is not mentioned... just sayin'.

I can't/won't say anything here because it will tick off all the other red owners.

I thought it was just lost in a pie chart rounding error since the number of ABM's were so insignificant

Lol.
I'm actually surprised at that color chart breakdown, as I see IOM's all over the place, but not too many VR cars. Volume wise, I figured they built 2 or 3 times as many IOM's, but maybe what I'm seeing is 2010 cars and maybe GM scaled back the number of IOM's for 2011. Just a guess. Either way, even a VR Camaro is still better than a red Disgustang.
For argument's sake, I really like the RJT, and it would have been my second color choice if I had to choose something other than my ABM...
Anyone heard from BumbleB Steve? Is he still breathin'??
