I got our first sold order delivered to my dealership yesterday. Pictures don't do these cars justice.

Yep, the car is a nice ride. I can't wait to see new ones on the road and at the dealer. The little bit of sitting in a 2SS at the auto show really wasn't enough to see what it all had.

Still haven't figured out if I want one of these or a 5th gen vette, but I can't wait to get a real look at one.

Yeah I wasn't to big on them but it has slowly been growing on me. Once I saw an SS and a JR edition at Texas Motor Speedway I was truely impressed. Both cars got a crap load of attention, I couldn't even take a damn picture. Funny thing was that right next to it was one of Dale Jr's cars and a C6R and everyone was guaking over the Camaro. If I didn't have a need for my truck I would sell both and order one.

I do agree they are special. They may be the last car GM ever produces.

The car puts our 4th Gen's to shame not even in the same league any more. Cannot wait until I get my 5th Gen
