Hello from IL, New Member - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello all.

Been lurking for a while and finally just purchased a 2014 SS 1LE. Unfortunately have to wait a few weeks to get it as it is on the west coast and I'm in Illinois. Going to be a long few weeks while I wait for it to get shipped. So in the mean time, figured I'd come on here and say hi.

I've owned a couple of Japanese sporty/tuner cars but always loved American Muscle since I was little, so I can't wait to get the Camaro here and start driving it!

Welcome!

You have fun times ahead with a 1LE on the way! Show us some pics, once it makes it home to you!

Got any plans for it, or are you just looking for something fun to drive?

Just looking for something fun to drive, no big plans for it yet. Been working with just one vehicle between my wife and I for about a year and a half since I sold my WRX. So will be a daily, a weekend fun car, a little bit of everything.

As you have been lurking for a while, I am sure you noticed that every question asked on this forum has unlimited answers and they are all right. I would recommend paying close attention to user names and the assistance they provide. Then ask them thru DM. Also, the search function is your friend once you figure out to use google "camaro5 and topic".
Enjoy your LS3, TR6060 and 3.91s.

Thanks! I've already been finding some good information and answers to some of my questions on here. And I'm looking forward to enjoying all 3, the LS3 and TR6060 are the main reasons I was looking at 5th gen Camaros.

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!!

Thanks everyone! I can't wait for the car to be delivered, so I figured I'd share a picture of it waiting to be picked up.

Nice!!

Wanted to post an update since I can't keep in my excitement. The car got picked up last night and is starting its journey across the country to me! Can't wait to see this bad boy in person!

Also, not sure this is best to keep posting on this new member thread, but I'll keep posting here until I actually get the car.
