IOM is not "fruity" lol, get it with black or CGM rally stripes to make it look meaner/manlier. I agree on silver it wont turn heads its just... meh. Black is mean and manly but cleaning it will be a huge pain and instead of people calling ur car fruity they'll call it dirty.

NO offense, but IMO, fruity colors are yellow, and the aqua blue.

Im currently in between IOMw/grey rally stripes and IOM interior, CGM with black rally stripes with black interior, Black with IOM stripes with IOM interior, Black w/CGM stripes black interior. I gotta see em in person, from the pics IOM somestimes looks very red, which i dont like.

What about IBM?

IBM has the badassery of Black...with the almost "chameleon" blue that all the youngin's love these days. IBM would be my choice if I were you.

I want something that says pure mean muscle. Back in the 70's I had a orange 67 with rs emblem. I agree there are alot of nice colors out there. But when you see this coming down the road you'll know what it is.
Your in High school. No matter what color you get everyones going to be jealous so my advice to you is pick the color YOU want---or the ht chicks....Or guys which ever way you go...makes no difference to me.

lol! But seriously, do you have one of the interiors that really grabs you? If so I would pick the color that best fits whatever that may be. As stated many times above, none of the colors will make your car look fruity/girly because its a CAMARO! If we were talking prius' here that would be different, but the Camaro is definately not girly, and you shouldn't be terribly worried about that anyways. I also think you should start a poll with your top 5 choices/combos, as there are just too many suggestions on this thread. But for the record my vote goes to IOM, it seems to have what you are looking for with the "pop/head turn" effect and look like a younger person's car. Any stripes would look good on it (except maybe CGM, but havent seen it in person so can't say). Also you could do what I did - run down to your local chevy dealer and look at the colors on other cars, helped me make my decision!

Wow, amazing posts guys! I especially liked yours, edog. Thanks Fbodfather I guess fruity is not the right choice I just can't think of a word. And no, I am not homophobic. I have a few gay friends haha..

I mean, I know that I am stupid and wrong for caring about what other people care about more than my own but that just is how I am. I care so much about pleasing everyone else that I forget about myself..

Anyways, yes I am really narrowing it down to IOM and RJT and SIM. My FAVORITE interior is defiantly IOM. I just have always wanted a car with redish interior. I mean who doesn't?! But the only colors that really match that in my opinion is black and IOM. I love black don't get me wrong but I am not one of those kids who go "O IW ILL KEEP IT CLEAN I PROMISE PLEASSEEE" I will say "I may wash it religiously for maybe a month, then give up" I know I won't wash it 24/7 but I would wash it ATLEAST once a month which is ok but not the best.

IOM and RJT will turn heads, so I get what I wanted. RJT however, looks just plain weird on a Bad Ass car like Camaro but it looks amazing. Plus in direct sunlight, it looks even better! However, I am starting to like IOM more and more, I just wish I could see IOM in person. Damn Arkansas! there has only been like one camaro in Arkansas and I saw it:P and I worshiped it haha. It was Red Jewel Tint coat. Hence my Sig. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Its not all about the color you pick! Its about the cars character and what you put into it. You could have a plain white SS, but if its sitting on some nice shoes and lopes like a beast your going to turn alot of heads, besides you shouldnt be worried or care about what others think.

Now, you know if you're turning heads with a specific color, the cops will see this color too, right?

So how many tickets do you want? Black is the safe and cool color.

I'm going with IBM. I think IBM is a halfway point. And you can't sit there and tell me you won't want to push the pedal to the metal every once in a while. Come, on.

With all that power and with the look of the Camaro, are you going to tell me you're going to drive the speed limit every day you own that car? I don't think so.

In the end, pick the color that will make you happy each time you turn the key.

Life is short. Enjoy it.

Ok, so after thinking about it this is my mind as of right now.

SIM will always be in the back of my mind and I will resort to this color if I can not make up my mind.

RJT, I love this color but my only worry is that it will look weird/old on a camaro I mean come on Camaro is Muscle!

IOM I love this color also, I mean how many Orange cars do you see out there None? At first they will hear me coming turn their heads and go WOW then I will be gone:P (no I do not plan on speeding by 10+ on a heavy interstate in an ORANGE car)

Black, favorite color but it hides the car/hard to keep clean..

I will make up my mind.

As of right now

RJT/Maybe stripes/beige interior
IOM/Black or white stripe/ IOM interior
Black/IOM or White stripes/IOM interior
Silver/Black Rally Stripes/ Black Interior

I am also to the point of where I am caring about what I want. NOt anyone else. As long as I am happy, that is all that matters. No matter what high school kid says "dude thats a stupid color" deep down they will be envious and are just flat out jealous and my car will be better than theirs.

Now just DO NOT take it to school. Jealous kids wrecked my sports coupe back in high school.....it ain't worth showing it off.

I still think if you see them all in line like I did, you would get the Silver....it is just too perfect!

Eh, my school is very... Protected. We have security cameras and rEsource officers (police who work at a school) we have a guy who has a bad ass mustang and no one has wrecked his. We have a few kids that have really nice cars. I don't plan on anyone destroying my car.

You never plan for it, my school had "good security" also, they saw nothing. Probably at lunch. You are young and innocent, unfortunately like most of us, you too will have to learn the hard way. Jealous people suck, I wish you luck though!

I had my 89 IROC scratched to hell at a resturant on prom night(400 miles on it) People are assholes, that's why I only put a couple thousand miles on my sports cars a year.
