Titanium interiors get Titanium carpet:

^Great pictures! Thanks!!

and the steel wheels don't look bad at all, IMO. In fact, I think they look pretty d@mn cool when rolling down the highway.

Better than the hubcaps you find on typical base model cars IMO.

This is actually a 2SS, not a 1SS. The reason I know is that it has the RS option (halo headlights). The RS option can only be added to the 2SS or 2LT.

The Camaro has been and always will be the trademark of GM raw power and graceful lines, aside any 80's ! The new generation of Camaro is exactly what Chevrolet needs to survive ! Lets hope it's not to late !

I think the aftermarket wheel company is going to love the LS...I bet some Crager SS would look nice. I just can't say I like the steelies on the Camaro.

*GTAHVIT* · 01-25-2009, 02:43 PM

Great pics Oldtimer!

Thanks

Rob490 · 01-25-2009, 02:57 PM

Thanks alot for the great pics

The steelies are growing on me a little, definitely wouldnt be my choice but on a black/SIM its not as bad as i first thought when i saw the first pics on the ABM

FxsX24 · 01-25-2009, 05:33 PM

anyone know if the camaro has the 4.75x 5 bolt pattern that the thirdgen and s10s have

fbodfather · 01-25-2009, 08:58 PM

not everyone will love the steel wheels - -but they only come on the base LS.

(which means: keep the cost down so you can pull 'em off and put custom wheels on your Camaro if you so desire......)

I called the floor manager earlier this evening to tell him to take the barrier away from the LS -- as that car has a finished interior and people can get in and out of it.

(.....is that a stampede I hear????........)

I like the steel wheels. Actually I'd lOVE to get the SS drivetrain in this external configuration.

Yes I do understand why it's not feasible for GM so I'm not going to start a poll and threaten to not buy it if they don't do it.

I love the SS look as well but this silver one has an old school sleeper vibe to it.

Can't believe that! I took my family back today, my second trip, and now it's going to be open. Guess I'll have to play hooky from work one day this week and make a third trip.

By the way, the camaro was by far the most popular exhibit. The place was packed today. Most I have seen in one day in last 10 years.

Not sure if this is a question, but, yes. The silver LS does have gray head liner and carpet.
