Hey all, "new" member here - I actually made an account back in 2018 when I was *this close* to picking up a turbo 4 model car. I've always wanted a Camaro, every since I dreamed about 80's IROCs as a kid, and when I couldn't reach a deal with the dealer I decided to walk and wait a while. Well I'm glad I did because 2 years later I was in an even better financial position and realized an SS was within my grasp.

I finally pulled the trigger over the Thanksgiving holiday and took delivery of my car on Nov 30th. It's a 2021 1SS 1LE in Riverside Blue Metallic. The only option, besides the 1LE package, was the dealer installed GMPP strut tower brace in black.

Thanks to lurking on the forum here I've already installed RPI rock guards and a set of 3D Mats all-weather floor mats.

Unfortunately I'm already having a problem, only 425 miles into ownership - more details over in the technical discussion section, but I'm planning to take it in to the dealership this week and hopefully they can resolve it.

Greetings from the tidewater!
Congratulations on your purchase . I purchased a 2SS vert sept and picked it up on the 9th of December. Hope you get your issue resolved.

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Congrats on the SS 1LE, great choice! Great color too (yes, I am biased). Welcome!
Sorry, you have issues, hopefully the dealer sorts it out, I am at 2600 miles, no issues, nothing but FUN! Good luck
