It's a 1LT same color and stripes, V6 304HP. Special edition only comes in the v6 and the RS wasnt available in the green. Just couldnt pass up on the color

Here's my immediate, uncensored response when I saw that car.Holy fvck!That's a beauty. I love that green. In my mind, almost better is the use of the painted panels on the inside. I love it when they bring the body color inside - the only current cars I knew of that did it are PT Cruisers and VW Beetles. I guess I've never seen inside the new Camaro before.FWIW, I still like the 2005-09 Mustangs better, but if they ever tweak the grill to look a bit more like the 1st gen Camaro, I'll completely die with envy.Speaking of envy, what color name is that green?

If I could mod that car, I'd get black leather Katzkin seats with green piping and a big cue ball shift knob.

Yeah those Camaros look awesome! I like the Mustang as well but I cant get over the ugly tailight redesign....ewww. The Challenger looks awesome as well but its wayyyy to heavy & the interior is just so PLAIN !!!By far...out of all 3 retro ponycars Chevy did a great modern rendition of the classic 67 - 69 body style. Congrats on your purchase.

I don't think so, it's pretty common. Atleast when I get it I know it's been checked over even more then the other cars going down the line.

Obviously this is different but seems like a similar concept.

Of course, the person who ordered the vehicle was never told this.

Nice set of wheels! Takes me back 25+ years when I restored early model GM "F" body cars!Did you by any chance leave a "sumliminal message" somewhere in your old Vibe so that the next owner will join all of us here at Genvibe ??? That almost should be a requirement when we part with our rides so we can see how well they are being taken care of (or modified) by the next owner.

That is a GREAT looking color combo! Chevy really outdid themselves with the new Camaro. Absolutely the best out of the 3 retro ponycars of late.

I was thinking about the Hid's before I got the car but after I got it, I probably wont unless I buy the oracle kit. Factory HID's are 1,000 I think, then you have to buy an after market wire harness to make em work. Wanted the 4 pack gadges also but for the money not woth it to me. Maybe if they start coming into the junkyards I could pick both up for cheap. But for sure im going with exhaust, intake and maybe headers.

If you haven't already. Check out the camaro forums. There are a couple companies doing upgrade kits to thr camaro and selling the oem hids as a kit you can buy for under a grand. You get the oem look with halos and if I recall correctly it's pretty much plug n play.

I was one of those who did this at Buick City back in the '80s. We would spend a couple hours checking out a car, trying to find everything wrong with it that we could. Then the repair people would fix whatever we found. If this is what happened with your car, it should be in perfect shape right now.
