2014 2LT RS · 09-30-2023, 08:19 AM

Hi everybody, I recently got a 2014 Camaro 2LT RS in Crystal Red Tintcoat with dual mode exhaust. I'm 65 years old and have had a number of hot rod cars and motorcycles over the years. I never thought I would like a newer car for a toy but I was wrong. This car handles great, has impressive power for a V6 and is so much fun on a twisty road. One thing for sure, anything I need to know about it is right here in this incredible forum.

Congratulations! I have an almost identical 2014 that I bought new in 2014 as a 50th birthday present for myself. The only difference is mine is a 1LT. I still love driving it after 140,000 miles. It's bone stock and I can squeeze 30 mpg out of it on trips. I hope you enjoy yours for years to come!

Thanks. Funny that mine was originally sold in California. It has 100,000 miles on it and is also completely stock other than some black stripes that I don't think are original but were nicely installed and still look pretty good.

Congrats and welcome to the Camaro World.
Car looks great, And at least you got the better V6 engine
timing chains were a big problem on the LLT's.

Beautiful car and welcome to the family. See you are from Knoxville. That’s my old stomping grounds from another life.

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!
