well, for me this was inevitable. traded in my 2010 2ss/rs ibm for a 2010 shelby gt500 (sterling gray with silver stripe). i wanted to thank everyone on the site for their help, suggestions, advice, comments, etc. i loved my camaro, guess i just didnt realize that im more of a ford guy. to each their own. look forward to a race one day with a ZL1 - they look badass! here's a few pics of my prev camaro and then of my new gt500. thanks again.

Note for sure on this but pretty sure that they are the Razzi side skirts...please correct me if I'm wrong

Congrats on the trade. While the Camaro SS is certainly a nice car, the difference between it and the GT500 is clear once you have driven both. Let me know if you need any input regarding the 2010.

maxpower5 · 03-03-2011, 08:43 PM

once again, nothing but class on this forum! thanks for all the compliments/comments.

you are right - its not fair to compare, but a whole different animal. i love the feel of the gt500 for sure. what oil do you recommend - i bought some redline, but it says not to use until engine is broken in - after 3000 miles. only have about 550 right now. ill have to wait on the redline i guess.

heard the clutch is beefed up from prev year. also, what about the exhaust - what size?

thanks man.
