No worse looking 6th gen front end out there than a 2019 camaro SS. The LT1 front end looks like masterpiece compared to that 2019 camaro SS front end.

Nope even the controversial bar grilled SS looks better than the basic non SS grill. The non SS grill looks like a Blue whale mouth.

Congratulations looking good, enjoy , before you remove the vinyl (if you decide to) make sure you have in hand the replacement vinyl.
Happy Motoring

I am keeping the decals on. Actually going to try and locate the original Indy 500 door decals and put those back on. I teach a big Indy 500 unit every year to my third graders. This will be the perfect addition to those lessons

I'm not in the market to buy another Camaro, but if I was the deal breaker would be the fact that the LT1 is almost 30 mph slower than the SS.

Also I moved to Camaro expressly for the improved handling over the 5th gen and the LT1 is more of a straight line machine (though with the Alpha chassis I'm sure it handles pretty well despite the tires).

No offense to the convertible owners but my OPINION is that the convertible top doesn't look like it was fit very well. Having said that, to be fair, there really aren't many soft top convertibles of any kind that I think look good or that I would consider owning.

BUT, that's just my preference and different people will feel differently about that.

Congrats on your 2SS. Have fun.

So the speed limiter that is easily defeated with a tune is a deal breaker on the LT1...
Did you know that the LT1 has a lower drag coefficient than the SS, thereby allowing a higher top speed?
Throw a set of race tires on the stock narrow LT1 wheels and I bet it will run a quicker lap time than a 1SS or 2SS. The only reason the SS handles better than the LT1 is that the SS comes with summer tires and slightly wider rear tires. Put SS wheels and tires on the LT1 and the LT1 will handle just like the SS.

Congrats, car looks great. That overhead shot with the top down looks awesome.

Based on where that "Limited Edition 51 of 51" decal is located, you may want to purchase a set of these (GM part #13574802) :
