Would an owner of a 2013 IOM Camaro in the Pittsburgh area be willing to meet up?

[nbostaph]

I probably should have just asked this first, but per http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=514908 I'm thinking of buying an IOM Camaro and would like to see the color first. I've owned a ton of red cars in my life and want a change and I'm afraid orange is going to be too close to it. Considering I'll probably need to make my purchase sight-unseen, it's a little too risky if I've never even seen the color before.
Unfortunately, the nearest 2013 IOM car for sale is 150 miles away.

I live in Canonsburg, about 20 miles South of Pittsburgh, PA. I'd be willing to drive anywhere in the Pittsburgh area, or possibly as far as Wheeling or Morgantown.

Thanks in advance!

As a 2010 IOM owner I can tell you i worried about the same. In pictures it looks quite red, trust me it is not and is an awesome color.

150% this. I ordered mine sight unseen, and have never regretted it a day in my life. I get so many compliments on the color I can't imagine I almost chose a grey one instead.

Something to consider while observing IOM -
The color changes a HUGE amount depending on lighting ...
At dusk it is very much darker, in bright sun it glows, cloudy days it is in-between!
(ignore sig pics that is Red Hot)

Thanks all. I seem to hear the same thing every time the color comes up: it's incredibly beautiful and you have to see it in person. So I'm willing to give it a chance.

On the other hand I've been imagining this car as yellow with black accents for so long it's hard to update that vision. So I think I really need to see one myself, get a feel for how light or dark it is, and how the CF updates I plan to do will look against it compared to yellow.

CF goes really well with the IOM....I was in a Camaro club and several members had IOM's.....does really well with all sorts of accents.....I'd get another 5th gen in IOM myself, but the ones I've seen locally have the orange interior but it's a bit too much for my taste.

Same here, While my Summit White was being built my dealer offered me an IO
SS with the IO interior that had just come in. While the IO exterior looked great
it was just too much orange inside and out for me. I'm glad I waited for my
Summit White with the IO interior which is a perfect match for me.

My 2011 Camaro SS in Inferno Orange Metallic gets looks everywhere I go and everytime I dtive it. You will not be disappointed. Saying that there is a 2010 v6 RS in the parking lot at my work that is IOM.And it is different then mine. In full sun it doesnt have that wow factor. I dont know what the deal is but I parked my car beside it once to compare....mine jumped out while his was darker for some reason. Its a colour that gets peoples attention...its the best colour for the Camaro...add white stripes and its all eye candy.....just my opinion of course.

Awesome; I really appreciate the offer!

Do you know if the IOM was the same from 2011 until 2013?

Would you have any time on Saturday that I could meet you somewhere convenient for you and take a look? Unfortunately, I work Friday and I'm heading out of town early Sunday.

[Rainbow1616]

I think IOM is the same all years.

It would have to be sat before noon.

Could we shoot for 11am? Where works for you? Please feel free to PM me if you prefer.
