In Iraq buying a 2010 when I get home - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

AirBoyzT · 01-05-2009, 02:17 PM

So Im stuck in Iraq for a while and am going to pay my silverado off and trade it for a 2010 Camaro. Never have owned a Camaro before but am excited. All my buddies keep pressuring me to get the Challenger but I have my heart set on the camaro, so some reassurance would be appreciated there. Also I am torn between the 2 SS Packages. Is the $4000 difference worth it, I do like the leather interior and does the SS come with the interior neon light.
Thanks for any input and just a question will the SS Camaro beat the Challenger at the 1/4 mile (Stock of course)
Thanks for answering my questions!

Only 2SS has the lighting and/or leather.

id go with the 2ss brembo brakes leather interior boston acoustics sound system sounds really nice car but depending on ur situation the 1 ss is just as good...the clothe interior is really nice

Like my buddy said if I am gonna do it do it right, all that extra stuff won't hender me any as far as weight goes will it? I am thinking about the Orange Color and not sure if its going to have the lighting etc. because I read somewhere the orange inferno would not...

In my opinion the additional options with the 2SS are well worth it. That's why it's what I have on order.

The Camaro SS should be able to beat any of the challenger models. It has 50 more hp than the R/T and as far as the SRT8 it weighs less than it and has the same power.

Some things never change---when guys came home from vietnam they went right out and bought fast cars---some guys bought them just before they left so they had something else to think about----

You get home in one piece and get in line for a 2SS--it will be worth the wait..

aldaron327 · 01-05-2009, 03:52 PM

^/agree

Keep your head down and in the game and get a 2SS when you get back!

My son is in Iraq and he has ordered a 2SS/RS. We are a GM family and I own a Corvette and am waiting for my dealer to pull my order for a CTS-V.

Buy the Camaro, it's hands down a far superior car. The Dodge is based on a 4 door sedan chassis and weighs much more than the Camaro having a huge impact on raw performance numbers (in favor of the Camaro) but also in general vehicle dynamics. Toss a Camaro into a corner and you'll quickly appreciate the lower weight and IRS.

When I was in Viet Nam I lusted after a Corvette, when I got home the first thing I did was buy a brand new 1972 454 Corvette, so I can appreciate your desire.

Thanks for serving, stay safe and buy the Camaro - you deserve the best.

the lighting is standard on 2lt and 2ss...if u order orange inferno the lighting would be orange...if u got any other interior color biege gray black the lighting would be blue but its only available on 2lt and 2ss....as far as wieght all those features will not effect it

Hopefully you can come home sooner to enjoy the car. Be safe.

AirBoyzT · 01-06-2009, 03:31 AM

thanks everyone, you gave me something to smile about, I hoping to only finance a small portion of it so I can make some room for accessories...I can't wait, should I go ahead and put down a deposit for one?

XAnimal · 01-06-2009, 04:11 AM
