First Camaro exposure. Dad worked for a GM subsidiary and bought a one year old exec company car. So in 68 he got this 67 SS/RS for Mom. It had all avail options. Air cond convertible with cruise control, fold down rear seat, luggage rack, bumper guards, disc brakes, all kinds of rare stuff. Would be worth $100k today. They sold it in 1974 for $1000 and the guy totalled it before the title was transferred.

I helped do a valve job on this car and was kind of my first exposure to turning wrenches.

This is Mom and my Brother in it. Note Dad's cool 66 Toronado in the background. Jay Leno would be proud.

They did not seem to have time to buff out the laquer before the show.

Hello Everyone

I am the new guy on the block with you, who drives a sweet 2010 2LT Camaro RS that is Imperial Blue with White stripes. This is the highest end V6 you can get with all the options. Its comparible in opptions to the 2SS except no V8 and different front vent.

Lets start at the begining there are currently 5 models for the camaro with 2 more coming next fall.

The LS, 1LT, 2LT, 1SS, & 2SS future models Z28 and Convertable in all models except LS

LS, 1LT, 2LT are all V6 models that come standard with 304 HP 275 foot pounds of torque with automatic tran. However if you chose the Manual tran. you can pick up to 24 HP about the same torque.

1SS and 2SS are V8 models that come standard with 405 HP 280 foot pounds of torque with automatic tran. However if you chose the Manual tran. you can pick up to 23 HP about the same torque.

Z28 are V8 models that come standard with 505 HP 370? foot pounds of torque with automatic tran. However if you chose the Manual tran. you can pick up to 23 HP about the same torque.

Fuel mileage is very good with mine I average at 60mph 28~29mpg 1600~1700rpm
If drafting a large truck i have gotten 60mph 34~36mpg 1500~1600rpm

My average speed on I74 from Indy has been 70mph 26mpg 1800rpm still good for the morning run in that takes me an hour to greensburg.

This is all with some in town driving as well not all highway. My miles for a tank of gas is 420 miles 16 gal tank. not to bad i say.

The interior package does have a lot of plastic. However when stepping up to the RS package you will be getting some cool upgrades. First leather seats, leather accents steering wheel, shift knob, and other cool light accents. The connectivity package is cool as well. This allows for a USB direct connect of your IPod that is controlled through the steering wheel, a extra accessory jack in the consol, Boston acoustics surround stereo, and blue tooth enabled through the stereo / Onstar system. Extior you will receive Halo head lights, fog lights, RS emblems, 20 wheels with Perrili tires, Special Rear tail lights, and rear spoiler.

Now for those who might say Onstar that service sucks. Not for new GM vehicles that are out. My camaro could be stolen just like all cars can be. However if it is stolen i call the Police and Onstar works directly with them to catch the thief. Here is how. After calling the cars GPS tells the police were and what rout the car is headed in. Once the police officer spots the car he tells onstar i see the car in question. Onstar turns on all lights and flashes them so they are sure they are tracking the right car. Once the officer says i see them Onstar begins a shut down procedure to safely bring the car to rest. Then keeps the door locked until the police officer gives the command to open the door to Onstar. The thief is caught and hopefully minimal damage is done to the car. This feature alone will keep the insurance payment low.

Overall I love the car and would not change anything about it. If anyone is thinking of getting one i would suggest jumping on Camaro5.com the forums there are the best in helping make my decision to buy one.

That was a great write up thanks for your experience. If you are in the area stop in and see mine. It will defiantly have a different feel to it.

Later everyone

Thanks for the report. Looking forward to seeing your car at a drive or Cars and Coffee.
