Welcome and congrats on a nice purchase! 94 miles is crazy low. Do with it whatever YOU bought it for. That is the only thing that matters.

2015 White with AC and radio

Bought it sight unseen with 2250 miles. I have had it a month and it now has 2500 miles and one wild track day. These are built to drive and have fun with. Use it as it was intended. My dad always said, "Drive it like you stole it and take care of it like it is for sale..."

BENDPAK LOW CEILING LIFT called GRANDPRIX. It is a new model. Works great in a standard garage and I use a chair to work under her. I am to old to be crawling under cars any more...

Wow that’s great. Assuming you do all of you oil changes, etc.
How high can the car get?
I will have to look up this lift

What color ?
Pre Production is only a technical term, these were GM "CTF" Captured Test Fleet vehicles.
With such low miles, I suspect this was a GM show car.

Captured Test Fleet (CTF) vehicle it may be... If the last numbers of the VIN at 699003, it is. If it's just 700003, still neat with the low VIN, just normal production car though

Thanks for the info guys. It’s definitely not a CTF car so track days it is. Also serviceguy’s comment about being a GM show car appears correct. I found link in another forum where a guy took a picture of my vin at Monterey Car Week in 2014 at a Camaro display with a 69 Z28 beside it. I’m having Expel clear film applied to the exterior and will be track bound. I read where GM suggests putting 1500 miles on these cars before track duty so got some driving to do.

Who has done a cam shaft swap on their car? I have a question regarding the oil pump alignment to the oil pan. Is an alignment plate necessary for installing the pump or is there rubber alignment bushings in the pump itself? I do have the cover alignment tool. a10maint and I are looking to possibly installing a Vengeance Stage 5 kit on my car. Thanks
