Yeah, makes me even happier I got mine. I don't particularly care for the refresh. I like the front, but the rear lights would be a deal-breaker

I was planning on starting the tach/speedo lighting project, but I think I need a better tool than a flathead wrapped in electrical tape to remove the bezel. Felt like I was going to break or scratch it if I continued, so I gave up for now.

Ahh you saw the dirt! Clear Bra curing. Can't wash it until today, Friday.

Don't use a flathead. Use one of those auto pry tools. I have an awesome one I bought on Amazon for like $6 or $10. It's got a little rubber ring on it that make prying shtuff super easy. And it's forked.

Definitely sounds like a killer on the track, but I doubt it'd be something I'd enjoy just cruising around in like the 1LE. All told, I think I made the right choice for me...I like my creature comforts the Z sounds like something that should only be on the track. I'm happy they brought it back, but it sounds more like the true "2% car"

I like the fact there's a Z/28 and it revs to 7,000 and it's the most HP out of a naturally aspirated car. Don't like tail lights. And I don't think stripped down so bare bones makes sense but I understand that's the Z/28 legacy. My 84 Z was basic but it was also a very nice daily driver. I'm surprised they've stripped this down even further.

Thought the 1LE "last year" was a track car, I like the fact in the 2SS you have the heated seats, my link, etc. I mean, many a German car are pimped out in luxry style, and I'm glad the 1LE has some of that hold the plastic interior. I won't go back two months. ;-)

The bigger issue is that Chevy has a product proliferation problem and, IMHO, needs to do some product pruning. Unless I'm forgetting a model the Camaro has:

LT
SS w/1LE option (but let's call that two):
1LE
ZL1
Z28

Dropping the ZL1 seems natural. I'm confused what to do with the SS vs. the 1LE.

I think your Camaro product lineup is meant to look like this:

LS
LT
SS or SS/1LE
ZL1
Z28

A few things:
1. The 1LE is a track pack for the SS, so that solves that.
2. I hope you mean in the most NA horsepower in a Camaro, because otherwise it's not.
3. Thank god Chevy has stepped it up! At least performance wise this year...

Work has been hectic, lots of overtime. So much so I just barely broke 500 miles on the car a week ago and we have some good weather for driving too.

It's going away?? I missed that news...
Hmm, judging from what I saw in other threads, it's a low production color, so I guess I can see the reasoning...but I've always thought I ought to be able to order up whatever basic color I want, within reason. I really wanted to go SGM with the camaro, since my cav was RY already. GM does offer more colors than some other brands (*cough, BMW, cough*) but they could still do more (*cough, KB for all, cough*).

Hopefully the weather cooperates tomorrow and I'll be able to get some pics under sunlight...maybe even next to Newb at the five-o meet

Work has caused a change in my plans. I now have to work nights starting tonight indefinitely. I will be on a rotating schedule so the next 2 weekends are now shot.

A question about NPP when i got my car just to save time i had my dealer pull the fuse,for *hits and giggles today i put it in just to hear the difference since i have never heard it with the flaps closed.The flaps wouldn't close...hmmmm.The car was warm so it wasn't because of cold idle start,is there like a reset time that the car must go through in order to get the flaps to close and then only open at 3500 RPM?
