Default Yes I need to get back on medication......

Got to the dealership today, looked at the Black RS/SS 6sp and was ready to sign the papers and then I see a yellow bumblebee and a blue camaro come around from the service area.

Sooooooo, I went outside and looked the Imperial Blue,It had white stripes and black cloth,it was a auto and had a sunroof but no RS package..

I looked at the Black RS/SS I was going to buy and said to Frank Carfagno, "I WANT THE BLUE ONE INSTEAD AND HE LAUGHED."

The color is intoxicating, I never saw it before in person
It had alot of metallic in it.

I never really cared for the RS lighting, Always thought it didnt belong on the Camaro and this car has the NON RS SETUP...

Sure it wasnt a stick but it was soooooooooo beautiful..
It was also $34,160 because of the auto and roof but I didnt care.

Frank did me a solid,He gave me invoice $33,260 on it minus the $1,000
I bought it for $32130

I had to have it once I saw the color (Almost like NBM on the 4th GEN)
Papers were signed and I own it

Here is basically what see looks like except I have a roof

Heres a pic thats alittle closer except silver stripes
THESE PICS DONT DO IT JUSTICE, ITS SOOOO METALLIC IN THE LIGHT AND TURNS 3 DIFFERENT SHADES OF BLUE...




I need to get back on the loonie meds

Color choice is one of those things that you can't change, at least not easily or cheaply. Sometimes it's just an emotional decision.

Here's hoping they don't make a pewter metallic or else I might be tempted to trade in the T/A.

You trade in your T/A for a V6 automatic camaro and I will come over to your house and punch you in the nuts? How about that?

Congrats on the purchase.... now quit slacking and start modding!!!!!!!!

Yeah that's the new Synergy Green metallic I believe, I'd heard that it was only available on the V6 models as a means to boost V6 sales (apparently too many people are ordering the V8s?), not sure if will help or not though LOL.

Awesome- that was a classic color scheme back in the late 60's/early 70's.

The green is pretty nice,it will be aval in a SS for 11...
I wanted a 6sp but my ego and my bad leg kept me in check

This color is beautiful with the white stripes
I LOVE THE SUNROOF, IT FEELS VERY OPEN IN THE CAR

Time for a converter,exhaust,cold air and a tune

Jason I thought I wouldnt like CGM but it looks awesome with MATTE BLACK STRIPES
I wouldve gone with that combo for sure but after seeing this Imperial Blue I was hooooooooooked...
