NEW GEN5 OWNER - CHICAGO - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey guys...... Well, I finally did it. After drooling over, test driving, and *almost* pulling the trigger in 2010, I picked up a nice new 2015 2SS. Black/black, manual......

Love the car so far......except I have to pick up some winter/snow tires already since the "summer only" tires are useless under 40.....and that's pretty much about now. Sooooo......thus begins the mod journey

FWIW, I still have my 94 4th gen stored on my rack......its pretty badass, but nothing like the smoothness of this 5th gen. Still not sure if the 5th gen Camaro is better/worse than my prior 2005 CTS-V though..... But cant go wrong with the Gen1 styling cues.

CONGRATS on your ride and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. 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, dad's, wives', husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's 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!!

Give tirerack.com a try; for best traction a smaller diameter wheel and higher profile tires are recommended for snow tires.

Welcome to the Camaro family!
