I'm in

[Upsman96]

Welcome aboard ihada69L78 and wolfstlkr! We're in for a ride! Great stuff ihada69L78. Not many people can say they had that many Camaros. This will be my first but I've loved them since I was a teenager. Finally have the extra cash so it's time to have some fun.

Now keep your eyes on the CAW union talks as they could strike and derail our party. Fingers crossed it gets worked out. Just not looking very good at the moment.

I ordered on 9/11 and the dealer was amazed that I have a TPW of 9/24/12 on a 2013 2 SS A6 RS SW BLK RALLY STRIPES HIGH WING.

I've traded in my 2011 2LT RS A6 SW BLK RALLY STRIPES. This V6 Camaro was a great car, plenty fast, great on gas, a great looker and lots of fun to drive. However I am moving up to the 2 SS. I can't wait. Probably in couple years I'll move up to a 427 or a ZL1.

Wow, that was fast, RichS. My order went in 4 days earlier on the 7th. Looks like a nice setup. You must really like the combination to order the same color package twice. I was close to going with the SW with Orange rally stripes and interior package but changed at the last minute to black, my old favorite. Decided to go no stripes and the Mohave Accent Interior. Although I've only seen the interior in the catalog, it looks pretty awesome to me. Hope I made a good decision. Guess we shall see soon enough. Here's all the options I added to mine. Only thing missing I wanted is the ground effects package but couldn't get it with the dual mode exhaust I added on so decide to maybe go aftermarket there. Let me know what you think.


RS PACKAGE w/2SS
DUAL MODE EXHAUST SYSTEM
Mojave Interior Accent Trim Package
Power Sunroof
Body Color Grill

Hey Upsman96, you can still get the GM GFX side skirts and front splitter through you dealer's parts department.

If they can't/won't help you contact MaureenM@RodgersChevrolet here via a PM and she can/will most definitely help you out.

Looks like you spec'd out your Camaro nicely!

[RichS]

Yes, I love the SW BLK STRIPES. I'm adding at the dealer CAI, HF Headers, Cats, Tubes, Exhaust all the way to end tips. I have to do better than my buddy that has a 2010 1SS M6 SW with Orange rally stripes and interior package. His is all stock and runs and looks great.

I hope the CAW's don't go on strike. We may hear more today at noon est. Good luck to all of us waiting.

Some of the latest news on the CAW talks from the TPW 9/17 thread. Keep your fingers crossed!

* Strike deadline at just before midnight on Monday
* Talks continue with all three automakers, focus on Ford
* No deal yet with Ford, negotiations "fluid"
TORONTO, Sept 17 (Reuters) - Facing an end-of-day strike deadline, the Canadian Auto Workers union said on Monday it was hopeful it could reach a framework agreement with Ford Motor Co and avert a damaging work stoppage, but it warned that talks could still fall apart.
While focusing on Ford, the union was still in negotiations with the other two Detroit car companies, Fiat SpA's Chrysler Group LLC and General Motors, but both automakers are still demanding "significant concessions," the CAW said in a leaflet to its members.
The union, which represents some 20,000 workers at the Detroit Three automakers, chose Ford on Sunday as the lead company for contract talks, saying it has been most receptive to a CAW proposal to cut labor costs. The main issue is the industry's insistence that the CAW accept a permanent two-tier wage scale for new hires and veteran workers.
Without a tentative agreement before the strike deadline of 11:59 p.m. on Monday (0359 GMT, Tuesday), the union said it could stop work at one or all three automakers.
"We are optimistic though that with this latest development a strike can be avoided," the CAW said in the flyer, referring to its focused negotiations with Ford.
If the union reaches an agreement with Ford by the deadline, it will require a firm commitment from GM and Chrysler that they could work within that deal framework to avoid a strike at those two companies, CAW President Ken Lewenza said on Sunday.
"We do not yet have a deal with Ford, there are many details still to be worked out, but our hope is to establish a framework that we will then take to General Motors and Chrysler," the union said in the flyer. "Even at this late stage, negotiations are fluid and it is still possible that talks with Ford could fall apart."
Labor costs have been the key sticking point in negotiations that started last month.
All three automakers - with Chrysler the most publicly outspoken - have argued adamantly that Canadian labor costs are the highest in the world and must drop to match those of their United Auto Workers (UAW) in the United States, or future production and investment there will be put in question.
The CAW, however, seeing the profits once again being generated by the automakers, wants some payback for concessions its members made during the 2008-09 financial crisis.
The Detroit Three and United Auto Workers in the United States have used a two-tier wage scale for the past several years to bring labor costs closer to those of foreign automakers.
The CAW is adamant that its new workers, who start at 70 percent of veteran workers' wages, must over time reach the same pay scales as existing workers. In the United States, they do not.
It has proposed a lower starting wage as well as an extended "earn-in," the time it takes new hires to reach the highest end of the pay scale, from the current six years to 10 years.
A strike at all three companies would result in lost production of about C$200 million ($206.50 million) a day at the companies and their suppliers, according to the CAW.

I placed the order and IF NO STRIKE, i should get it once I'm back to the US. I'm excited, but this strike thing got me worry. I know everyone here fells the same way. So all we can do is pray for the best.

I hope to see everyones updated orders here soon.

Best of luck to all of us.
