Almost 2 months after ordering, the suspense is over.. One bright yellow 2015 Chevy Camaro SS 1LE!! :D

With Recaros and dual mode exhaust:

Dealer let me fire it up inside, said it's the prettiest one they've ever had in here and all the folks in the garage were in love with it. More to come, just killing time now while he tries to match the preapproval from my credit union. Insurance is taken care of, down payment is sitting in front of me in a tall stack of hundreds.

AHHHHHHHHH SO EXCITE THIS IS MY FIRST CAR LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD!!

Oh yes, gotta break her in first, then burn outs!

Those are some nice wheels there. Also not a big fan of yellow cars, but it works so well on the Camaro.

NICE! Looks like Bumblebee's newer, better looking cousin. Enjoy that V8 and new car smell, shortly followed by burned rubber smell :P

Also... I see what you did there in that tag...

Congrat's!!! And that yellow really looks awesome! I still have a hard time with the taillights though (It's not like I see them everyday anyway...)

I saw a ZL1 (with the plate 1ZL1) driving past me the other day, man the sound of the V8 <3

Lol thanks! And I'm thinking of that for the vanity plate too

Oh my god I love it. Buy a cheap set of wheels/tires from a junkyard that will fit and light em up. After you've broken it in of course. I'd say just follow this guide, unless there is one specific to the Camaro 1LE - http://www.corvetteblogger.com/2013/10/07/how…

Don't spin and crash it.

I would do this. I could just forget my car somewhere and have lots more to drive so I wouldnt even care.

SonorousSpeedJoe > yamahog 04/02/2015 at 19:48

For some reason, I find it odd that I prefer these standard taillights to the RS Package ones.

Congrats on your new ride! I figured it might be a Camaro from that one test drive story you posted. That exhaust sounds great.

Congrats man!!!! Beautiful car. As much as I love the Z/28 and ZL1, the 1LE is my favorite. Some basic changes over the SS, and an affordable upgrade. But boy does it turn it into a totally different car. Ill take mine in white.

Super jealous over here.

Awesome Yama! Now the real question: What do you have planned for it?

nice! Looks awesome. Just curious, I thought you were looking at new Mustangs, what turned you to the Camaro?

yamahog > AM3R shamefully returns 04/02/2015 at 21:41

I got an amazing deal on this one, and there isn't really a comparable Mustang out either. Test drive sealed the deal :)

AM3R shamefully returns > yamahog 04/02/2015 at 21:50

nothing wrong with that. I got to ride in a new Z28... Let me tell you this 100% honestly as a BMW fanboy, it was GREAT! And I wasn't even the one driving, if I were I'd probably be eating ramen noodles and driving my z28 haha.

How long until your licences gets suspended? It took me about 3 weeks with my SRT8 Challenger. I'm glad you picked an inconspicuous color...lol

Right now I'm still nervous as hell just driving normally! Still can't get over the "I finally have something that isn't a shitheap," ya know?

Nice :D we're registered for the Camaro 6 reveal, so we'll get to ride along for hot laps of Belle Isle in ZL1s and/or Z/28s.

I'm digging the black hood... Not really a big fan of yellow, generally, but yellow with a healthy serving of black for contrast is badass.

Yea you were right on, good call! :) video to come!

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > yamahog 04/03/2015 at 11:18

Sweet. The 1LE is the same suspension as the ZL1 with the SS motor, right? How much different is the Z28 suspension compared with your car?

Your car. That car is your car.

I still say that to myself sometimes when I look at my M3, and it's been almost three years. Ha!

yamahog > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com 04/03/2015 at 12:32

1

Basically, yea. The splitter and spoiler are from the ZL1, the brakes are kind of in-between, and the Z/28 is a whole 'nother beast. So far this has felt stiffer than the standard SS but still drivable around here.

And omg yes, exactly. I still can't believe it, it's been a long time coming and it's unreal :D this is also the first 6spd car I've owned and if you look up the Jalopnik review of the 2014... I'm in agreement on the clutch, lol. Already have nearly 100 miles and only stalled once though, woo!

Nice. You should probably just knock off the break-in period this weekend...

Thanks, I'm really loving it so far! I've actually recused myself from reviewing it because there's no way I can be impartial. Travis will have a writeup once it's through the break-in miles and we get the chance to have some fun with it :)

Haha, it looks just about perfect! I'll bet you can't wait for that break in period to be over :)
