The title says it all. Sorry guys, I could'nt take the delays and problems any more. I did'nt want to miss another summer without a hot rod, and nobody knows how long it will take to get any of these cars fixed and shipped. I'm not knocking GM or the Camaro. I've driven it and loved it, but I did plan on adding horsepower to it that would have voided my warranty anyway.

I happened to sort of trip over a loaded and documented 2008 Shelby GT500 convertible locally (with the exhaust and suspension already done) with only 600 miles on it. Being that it cost me only $3000 more than the price of my Camaro I figured I could'nt go wrong. And obviously, the warranty is in full effect too. Its a beast, and its beautiful. And it WILL be in my garage in a couple days for sure. No more shipping holds, no more false info from Haji at the customer service center, no more apologies from my wonderful sales people who get treated like mushrooms by GM, no more guessing as to whats going on, etc. etc.

Would I have preferred the Camaro ...."yes". But do I love the GT500..."yes". Its proof that you can have more than one true love and still be happy.

Hopefully the Camaro program will get ironed out, GM will survive, and in a few years they will have a model available that will cause me to switch back from "the dark side". I have to admit, it is a huge relief to know that I finally have a car. The past two years have been an emotional roller coaster that I hope to never repeat.

I'd like to thank everyone on the site for the advice on everything, and to compliment everyone for the support you have given me and continue to give each other. I'll still be watching the site to keep updated on this fantastic car. And my thanks especially to Fbodfather. He has really done more than GM gives him credit for to keep up the moral of all potential buyers for this great car and to attract the interest of new customers by responding to so many concerns by so many people. Good luck to all, and I hope you get your cars soon.
