It's Nice to Be Back - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello Everyone,

My name is Mike, and I had a short but sweet time on Camaro5. Some of you may remember I helped put together the LA meet and greet we did back in spring of 2015. Back in 2015 I was the owner of a Red Hot 2015 1SS 1LE. The car was a completely base model besides back up camera and NPP. I owned that car for a total of 2 months before someone cut me off about a mile from my home. I ended up putting my car in ditch to avoid hitting the wonderful citizen that cut me off. I truly fell in love with the 1LE's chassis balance and grip during the short time that I owned it. During the three years that passed since then, I was constantly looking to get my old car back...

Finally last month I found the perfect replacement. Everyone meet my "new to me" 2014 1SS 1LE. Same color as my old car, however this one has factory Recaro's and the oh so wonderful NPP. I got the car shipped from its original owner in PA with only 4,100 miles on the clock.

As I said, its nice to back, part of the Camaro5 family. Enjoy the pics!

Good to hear everything worked out for you. I totaled my 13 1le and replaced it with a 15 1le with Recaro's, they make the car soooo much better!

I would say you got my car but I don't have Recaro's.
I made my dealer put the NPP back on after the previous idiot removed them and had deletes installed.
Love the color, I had a blue 1LS before.

Oh wow, some people just don’t understand. NPP is amazing and really wakes the car up compared to stock.

I want to thank everyone for the kind words!
