Matrix, if you are through Cranbrook with it this summer, stop by and I will pour you a glass of JW Blue Label and we will toast to your Camaro.

Looks wonderful!

What people see is Steel and Polyurethane... with the same paint and cure. Why does it look diff? Cause of the material. It's not a mismatch it's a piece of plastic mated to a large body of steel that has been galvanized (that too effects how paint dries and looks).
And it is on this car too, different light conditions and cameras will show it on pictures and of course the metallics really show it. CIM is more a solid so it's not so apparent.

The car is perfect.

Now this is not a defect but wanted to show you what I was talking about. I annotated a portion.

LOL, me and my friend have been saying this exact same thing for weeks. Thanks for putting this basic physics lesson down on your keyboard.

Visibility is not perfect but it is NOT that bad at all. Im haveing no problems so far. If you ignore the fact that you dont have that triangular window at the back to look through you will be fine.

I always look over my shoulder before changing lanes anyway.

About the cabin wind thing, I noticed it on my 1SS drive. That really was some kind of mean air turbulence. It kind freaked me at first, but then I just said FKIT and threw up the metal horns while punching it some more. I look forward to doing it again on the road once I get my SS.

Just another of those unexpected things that you wind up liking about the car.

I'm still waiting for my car, but here's a thought...isn't it possible the passenger seat slides forward/back manually in order to make it easier for someone to climb in the back, not because GM is cheap? The passenger seat in my Grand Am coupe tilts forward and slides forward quickly when you lift the seat release (making it really easy to climb in the back). If the forward/back control in the passenger seat was power it would take forever to inch it forward. Might just be good design!

After spending a few days with the car I have to say you are RIGHT!!

I will edit my comments on the review.

Nice license plate... how long does it take to get the personalised one?

About 3-4 weeks. I was forward thinking so I got it for my crummy fishing truck about 2 months ago. Then I transfered the plates at the time of insuring the Camaro. That made sure I was driving off the lot with the plates I wanted. That was the dream!
