Saved me a few $$.. Thanks

A thanks to Dan has to go out. I think his connection helped getting me the car. Took 1month,4 days to come in from the day I ordered it. Was built last tuesday and came to the dealer yesterday. These timelines are unheard of when ordering. Car got here before the paperwork.

Plans, Right now it's getting a cold air and ARH 2" headers/full 3" dual exhaust. In the winter I'll switch the motor to LS3 specs while ditching the DOD/AFM crap. Spring -Kenne bell 2.8L blower,fuel,meth ect. Want to run the 10.5 class next year with a goal of going 9's while being 100% daily driver.

If anything else I think the color sets it apart from other cars, GMHTP for example are doing what 4th Gens were doing 5-6 years ago which was dominating the magazine and some of the colors are already looking "tired" but I must say that Imperial Blue does strike a chord with me.
