Looks great. Hit up the section on maintenance, and cleaning/detailing. Lots of great information in those sections.

Drive, smile, enjoy!

My first tip would be looking into a clearbra for the frontend. Paint on these cars (all cars today) are very 'thin' and chip easily. Protecting the front of the car is something I would suggest investing in first.

Thank you sir. First stop is my local auto shop for all my cleaning/detailing supplies. I'm from South Florida so the rain down here is definitely gonna leave spots all over the Camaro.

It will and you will barely get any sleep tonight. Take a deep breathe, enjoy the moment, remember this feeling, as it will be even more awesome when you drive off the lot.

Enjoy the wait, the Perm-a-grin will start soon enough... As far as tips, I installed a catch can, and I can tell you how much oil it catches that would have went back into the engine.. WELL worth the money to get.

Thanks for the tip. I've actually seen quite a few people install a catch can. I'll look into hooking one up myself as soon as possible.

No reason why. Use 87 octane. Premium will do nothing special for a 6 except burn 30 cents a gallon more out of your wallet.
