I have been working a lot the last 6 months so I decided to treat myself with a new toy.

2015 Camaro 2ss 1le

I haven't owned a stick car in a while so, naturally I suck at driving it fast. I hope I can get it figured out soon.

Congrats!!! I've had my SS for about a year now and love it.

The stick is the only way to go in a pony car.

Beautiful. I'm glad you were able to reward yourself.

I've been busting my ass at work too but this is about all I can swing -

Nice.......the automatics are faster, but there's just something about having a manual in a performance car...... you'll pick it up pretty fast...

You buy nicer toys than me. Congratulations and Thank You for not taking the easy way out with the automatic. Cars like that should all be 3 pedal cars.

Autos may be faster, but really, so what? Do you make a living racing or going faster than everyone else on the road?

I could hire a professional race car driver and just be the passenger all the time to ensure that my car is the fastest, but where's the fun in that?

Great car and great choice in options all around. I want to vomit whenever I walk past a car such as yours and see an automatic stick between the two front seats.

Thanks guys. I agree, I wouldn't even look at an auto.

I'm on cloud 9. A SS Camaro has been a dream of mine since I was in high school.
Here she is all cleaned up

Well done. Agree about the stick - it should be mandatory on a Camaro!

Are those wheels original? I'm not normally a fan of black wheels but with the black hood those look really good.

Nice choice. The stick comes back. I bought a new Mustang 5 Lt GT convertible a couple of years ago, and had not driven a vehicle with a stick for 9 years. It comes back very nicely. Enjoy.

It is 100% stock. All 1le cars have black hood, rims, and rear spoilers.

Looks good - enjoy. I'd like to have a vented hood.

Nice. Now if we could just get Texas to give up on the front license plate! Enjoy your new ride.
