Well, we did it. Wifey now owns a '14 Black SS! She is thrilled! She drove it home today after a 3" snowfall last night. All she could do was pull it into the garage until the weather breaks, she is like a kid in a candy store but can't have any! The smile on her face i will never forget.
I will have some pics hopefully soon.
This is very special for her. She is a cancer survivor and has had 2 total knee replacements. It has been a tough 7 years for her. When Camaro was reborn in 2010, we really took notice. She has wanted one since then and now it has happened. We both like everything about this '14, from the changed front and rear to the vents in the hood. The power, handling and braking are impressive. I was talking to her about these great LS engines(she has the L99 auto) the Brembo brakes, 20" wheels, IRS, but all she wants to do is drive it!

Who can blame her?

More to come.......

Bob

The one seen in my avatar is one from the day I bought her and still 4 months later I still get all giddy and excited to drive!!

Thank you! We haven't owned a Camaro since 1997. She had the Z28. This '14 just does everything well! Makes me want one now! The Red Rock SS would be my pick along with the LS3 six speed man. and dual mode exhaust. I love my Vette but there is some temptation there!
