What to do until '09? Here's what I did.

Over 2 years until I get my new Camaro. My jeep wasn't going to last another 2 years. I didn't want to make the B4C a daily driver. No way I was going to buy a Mus..... I can't even write the name. After much thought, this is my temporary fix. I'm gonna drive the hell out of this thing for two years. If the new Z/28 has the LS-2 also, I'll be all warmed up and ready to trade.

This is one ground poundin' beast... Lots of power... give it a look if you need something to tide you over, but don't want to drop 60K on a Vette.

ive seen them go 14.0 at 100mph, paper filter stock.

not bad for an suv, not to mention, no track prep, and mid summer florida heat.

Thanks. I think last years blue was quite a bit lighter. This is a nice dark stealthier blue. Almost black in some light.

And with all wheel drive and meaty 20" tires, there is no tire spin. Talk about a coffee splashing launch! That probably helps getting to that 14.0.

I live in a small town, too. About 32,000 population, and I mean NOBODY has one. The local dealer couldn't get an alocation for even 1. I got this in Indy from Bud Wolf Chevy. Great guy that Andy Wolf. Big Chevy Camaro guy. Has a pristine 68 Yenko at his dealership. He got to go to the Concept party. He's bowtie all the way.

Pardon, while I find an excuse to run an errand in the SS ......

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee................

Re: What to do until '09? Here's what I did.

I think about this same question every day. As tempting as the new VE is, I just love my current ride so much that it's good enough to want to make me keep it for a few years longer... until Camaro hopefully lobs downunder. I just hope the car doesn't age and my interest wane. The industry is just so competitive that IMO it's silly to reveal cars years before their release... but GM's position is different and I can see why they went down the road they did with this cult car.

Sweet. I love that red. It was going to be my other choice, but the Blue was available so I took it.

Re: What to do until '09? Here's what I did.

we bought one last December. It was "mine" for about a week. I let my wife drive it and now it's "hers" and I'm right back to square one. I may be putting winter tires on the Camaro SS.

Re: What to do until '09? Here's what I did.

Congrat!! You are going to love this!! I really miss mine, but it was my daily driver and when you put on 40K miles a year at $3 for gas, you do the math. That is a great color choice, new for '07. Wiat until you hit 3-5K on the odo. It really starts to open up. It's darn'er impossible to keep your foot out of it with that exhaust. If anyone has doubts GM was just slapping SS logos on everything go drive it. Go to the www.trailvoy.com Those guys stay pretty well up on things. One guy is adding twin turbos to his and there are tons of mods. Best of luck!!!

Re: What to do until '09? Here's what I did.

I seriously have the new car itch. My last new car was my 95 Z28. (If you don't count my 67 Camaros, or my wife's 02 Tahoe.) Last year we bought our oldest son a 2005 Trailblazer. (LS, not SS ) They really are great car... trucks. I'm even thinking of a new Silverado. But although my wife has no problem with me buying a new car, I think doing so would seriously harm my chances on convincing her I need a 09-10 Camaro when the time comes. Anyway, nice choice. I love the color as well. I hope they offer it on Camaro when it returns.
