Hey guys! First post here. Just ordered a 1SS 1LE!
My wife and I have actually been looking a long time for a 1st gen Camaro and just couldn't find one in decent shape priced right. I had a 67 RS 30 years ago that turned into a full time bracket race car. Low 10's at 132 mph. Sold it for my boating hobby. Really regret that now!
Started researching newer Camaro's and spent quite a bit of time lurking Camaro6. Very impressed with the performance numbers AND the looks. Decided it was time for a modern muscle car, and one that can actually turn! Something that was not going to happen with my first gen. Soooo... Just a few days ago I ordered a black on black 1SS 1LE! No other options. That is all I need. Really looking forward to getting her delivered. Already picking up some upgrades that I have learned about from this site. Smoked tail lights, center stop light, Diode Dynamics side marker lights, etc... This can be addicting. Anyway, just thought I'd say hello and will start participating on Camaro6 once she arrives. |

Ask the dealer to provide some verification that your order was accepted and being filled by Chevrolet.

Also getting the GM black tails, 3rd brake light, and badges to match the rest of the black accents on the 1LE, but I see you're already onto that. Then just have fun. It's great in stock form. I drove in traffic all day today and it was plenty comfortable. And I can still tear up a backroad with the push of a few buttons. |

Hello,
If you activate the On-Star, you can monitor your whip's train ride and transit to your state's dealership. It was fun to get the text notifications and time the arrival so that I was at the shop when she rolled in. Kindest, Donner PS Congrats. |

Are the recaros good for longer periods of time? I have been debating on them myself. Going to drive an SS that has them this coming weekend. |

They're actually NOT absurdly bolstered so you can sit in them for quite a while without feeling squished. |

My friend has the 2SS seats and they are easier to get in and out of. But the Recaros really hold you in place during hard cornering. Also I think they look better aesthetically. For reference I am 5'10 170 lbs. |
