Ordered July 2009 delivered November 2009.
16,855 miles.

Wow, me too. Ordered in July 2009 right after driving one at Carlisle and got it in November, just in time to store for the winter! Early non-chicklet rear park sensor vintage. Just over 7,500 miles with a few bolt-ons and feels like a new car every time I drive it - still got that permagrin

[1JEWLDSSRS]

^^^ nice! And yea that "permagrin" will never go away... Until you get rid of the car. But don't do that.!!

Ordered my '10 SS in August '09 as soon as Summit White was released. Built 8/4/09. Delivered to me 8/21/09.
It now has 67,000 pampered miles. Never a mechanical problem and still worth about 1/2 of the MSRP I paid for
it over 12 years ago. It's 99% stock and still getting complements whenever I take it out.

I'm the original owner of my 2011 SS. 43,000 miles. It was my daily driver from 2011 to 2014 and then became my weekend toy...

Still have my 2012 RS SS Convertible from new, I got it 1-30-12, so it will be 10 years in a few days. Still only 4300 miles. Wont drive it in rain or snow

Can't understand why anyone would buy a new car and not use it. From Connecticut I've driven to the Camaro5 Fest #1 in Valdosta Ga,
Several trips up and down the East Coast, Camaro factory tour in Canada, Camaro5 Fest in Indy. I now take it out almost daily here in
Florida including car shows. At these shows anyone would be hard pressed to find any major flaws including it's factory paint.
Excuse the rant but I have memories of the last 12+ years worth more than my Camaro.

I picked up my car at Hendrick in Duluth GA, Oct 2010. Started modding her pretty quick. I have: ground effects pkg, MRT V2 exhaust, Pedders suspension, Vararam intake, hurst short throw shifter, HEX vented hood, all the Oracle lights I could buy, houndstooth interior, custom sill plates, phantom T-Rex grill and light covers. I've had a few issues, AC compressor was replaced, radio control module was replaced, replacing my key fob now, replacing my clutch soon (too many drag races etc), replaced my battery (myself) a couple of years ago. She's eyecandy. I've had her on Hot Rod Power Tour 9 times, on the course at Barber motorsports park with the Porsche's etc, Atlanta Motorsports Park, Atlanta MotorSpeedway, Indianapolis Speedway, so many I can't even remember, been to CamaroFest in Inday a couple of times...........now she's here with me in Michigan for the summer. My new husband has been such a supporter of me and my car addiction! I even got him hooked on autocross! I hope I can keep driving her for many years to come!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This. Why own a car if you're only going to preserve it for the next owner. I've never understood that.

Bought mine new in March of '12.
16k on the clock now and still smells new inside.

The conversations and memories associated with it are like no other car I've owned.

Great fun! I've had mine on the Las Vegas Speedway a couple of times. The experience of hitting that bank in turn one at 100+ mph left a smile on my face for days afterward. These pics are stills taken from a video. I'm in the white SS.

Hey I remember that day! This is a shot from PIR last year, my old car is straight out the wind shield. I’m gonna miss the Vegas laps next month but I’ll be there in January.
