Traded in my 2010 2SS.... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

…..on a 2014 Camaro 2SS 1LE in Red Rock Metallic with just over 29000 miles.

I couldn't believe the difference between this car and my 2010. The dealer said that other than the CAI Intake and Throttle controller that the previous owner made other upgrades but he wasn't sure what they were. This car would run circles around my 2010 even with the throttle controller set to 0. I knew it would be tighter and would hold the road much better...but this thing would outperform my old 08 C6 Z51 Vette in the corners. The steering is almost effortless. Oh, and the color HUD is fantastic!

My only pet peeve is the backup camera is quite blurry. Don't know why.

….future plans? Maybe supercharger...…..any suggestions?

Nice. You need to remove the Bridgewater Acura decal on the trunk and license plate frame ASAP. I would also paint the fog light bezels and rear airdam back to black too. Too much body color in those areas.

Funny, I got my first camaro there in 2015. To bad you aren’t from the area. I live right up the road from bridgewater. Congrats. Cars sweet.

Beautiful colour. They are fantastic to drive. Do you prefer the looks of the '14 or the '10?

sell that vitesse throttle controller

the AT guys seem to get it to work just fine but on the MT cars, it'll eventually trigger the "service stabilitrak".

I got my 1st Camaro at Bridgewater too. Not too far away....maybe half an hour, 45 mins. They actually always have a good selection to choose from and get you out the door pretty quickly.

As for the Bridgewater sticker and license plate frame, It's going for a good detailing this week and they're going to remove the sticker. I 'm going to order a carbon fiber 1LE frame for the plate.

I liked the looks of the 10 but it was always my plan to put the ZTA conversion on it. When the price jumped from just under 5K all the way to over 12K with all the parts before shipping and paint I decided to just get a nicer Camaro and just focus on performance. I love the hood vent, the wheels/stance, rear spoiler and all the other changes from the 10 to the 14.

Yeah, I've seen that happen. It's usually when the setting is above 5 and you're not hitting the gears right on a shift. That's why the automatic guys don't have the issue. Shifts are more precise. Just recalibrate every so often and they're fine.

Nice ride, I am in the BW area also. I had a crap salesman at BW acura one time when shopping won't go back. Ended up buying at Dalessio chevy in Boonton NJ. I went to mcafferty in Fairless hills looking at a camaro.

I would suggest the washer bottle relocation kit so you don't have to pop the lid off the CAI everytime u need to add. Best of luck
