New owner 2nd SS Camaro

JFM-jr · 03-13-2016, 02:22 PM

I am from Long Island and slated to pick up my Hyper Blue 2SS tomorrow. I'm trading in my 2016 Subaru STI Limited for it. I had a Hugger Orange SS new in 99 so i've been in the LS game. In fact i'm still in the top 50 stock internal 1/4 mile list on another forum all these years later (11.62@115mph) That car was a joint venture with me and my Dad back then (He has since passed). Car eventually had an LS2 put in it and on the factory rotating assembly and GM 5.3 heads went 9.87@135 motor only. I miss the Camaro and made a mistake buying the STI about 6 months ago so I took my lumps and jumped ship. 17 years later here I sit again excited in anticipation of a new Camaro. Hard to believe this 6th gen is a full second quicker down the strip.
The STI is a fine car handles and brakes like nobodys bussines stereo system is phenominal it simply lacks guts at 305hp with a 10 year old drivetrain. Worse is the fact its an AWD car so they put about 220 to the wheels. Looking forward to the knowledge from members here and will be shooting for an 11.99 second pass come fall at Atco it's an A8 I'm a stab n steer guy. Only options on top of the 2SS trim were ,Dual mode exhaust,moonroof and automatic.

CONGRATS on your ride and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. 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, dad's, wives', husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's 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!!

A buddy tried to get me on the subaru bandwagon... I'm glad he had one that I could try out because I did not like the car one bit... I'm on my second 5th gen Camaro and in a couple years probably be in a 6th gen 1LE, really dig this car.

Welcome and grats on the new Camaro!
