New 2SS/RS manual - sold the Automatic. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Couldn't take it anymore. AFM. My god, what were they thinking. Found a brand spanking new Black 2SS/RS manual without any stickers on the paint. This guy (full of $$$) had to part with it because the wife was scared to death to drive it. Real story, he bought her a Cruze and got himself a new Vette!!

Anyhow, though I'd never get out of the Auto. Loved the car, but the L99 and the AFM isn't my gig. Put 100 miles on it today on the highway and I am SOLD. Good bye part time 4 cylinder....

The black is growing on me a lot faster than the SIM did for sure. Here's the kicker, I bought my wife a Red Jewel 2LT today as well. I had to make that Scion Xb disappear. I cannot wait to get the AAC LED side markers on the black SS. Pictures to follow!

A quickie pic taken in the garage tonight. Black SS on the left, and the LT on the right. Took the V6 for a cruise tonight and was actually impressed. That's a lot of V6 in there, never thought I'd say that - but really that thing is quick. Here's the two together - can't believe they fit into the garage without calling the local fire dept to extract me.

You know AFM can be tuned out, a tune also wakes the car up...A LOT.

But congrats!
