Sweet ride! My Wife has a thing for the Synergy Green ones...might just find one in the near future.

I see you're missing a pedal. You may want to bring it back to the dealer, it may have fallen off during transport?

Good one.
I forsee the future and nobody making a manual car anymore.
This camaro being a fiftey would've have been prime choice.

Sweet freakin car though.

Just so you guys know the auto is faster than the manual and the auto gets better gas mileage also. My SS has the 8-speed auto.

I don't care about either of those parameters. I'll let the drag racers and prius owners worry about trap speeds and fuel mileage. I want to feel connected to my car and the road, that's my personal happy space

I converted my 65 Mustang to a 5 speed and it completely changed how I drove and feel about driving the car. After swapping my C10 to an auto almost 15 years ago, it's going back to a manual 5 speed. I'm sure I won't be able to push the clutch in someday and will have to revert back to an auto, but until that day comes, I'll enjoy grinding my own gears.

I get the same thing driving an automatic! Everyone has there trans of choice, mine happens to be the auto.

Nice ride....congrats ! I just bought a used 2014 Camaro with less than 15000 miles in like new condition. Its a 323 horsepower v6 w/ manual 6 speed. Tons of fun to drive for not a lot of cash. It looks good in my garage next to my 69 Camaro big block & 72 short stepside.

Thanks, It's a blast to drive!! I was looking at buying a 2015 new but waited for the 6th Gen and then again for the 50th Anniversary. I'm so glad I waited!!
