New 1LE owner, long time camaro owner

TL69-97-22 · 02-27-2026, 08:46 PM

Want to say hello. I've been reading this forum for 10+ years and now I'm a 6th gen owner as of last night, so I finally signed up. Purchased a 2022 SS 1LE M6 in Vivid Orange. I put a deposit on the car in early January however the dealer didn't have the title. Took 58 days since they offered the car for sale until title was received. MI state law - no title, can't sell. I won't say the dealer's name and it wasn't their fault, If you were on AutoTrader or Carfax or Capital one, in the last 2 months looking for a 1LE - you most likely saw my car.
My first Camaro, a '69 I bought when I was 16 and still have it 35+ years later. Got into autocross 4 years ago and transformed that car to a Resto-mod that I've run the last 3 years. The '69 is not going anywhere, just will see much less track time. My other Camaro is a '97 30th Aniv SS - this car is mostly stock - my wife likes it because it has T-tops. Hi Everyone.

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. 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, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends 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!!

Sweet rides!!

Very cool! I miss my 4th gen, but at the same time I'm not in the position to store multiple cars in a dry space yet. (Unfortunately I can't kick the wife's car out of that space for another fun car... and they shall not stay outside like the truck).

Beautiful cars you got there!
