It is a great color can’t deny that.

Reading this thread in itself is a challenge. We have just a few posts lol. But yes this color is awesome. Only one other that I like, was my original choice for a 6th gen until I saw the 50th.

They are tough to find. But the used market today had picked up recently.

If you liked your IROC you will love the FIFTY SS.....
The 50th SS is a beast to drive. I still smile when I get behind the wheel and shift into gear.

Oy. Let me rephrase. Looked at red and black 6th gens. Then found the 50th and really liked the gray.

@SilverHokie

The 6th Gen Vert is about the best there is, except for maybe a C7. Completely motorized one touch operation is a breeze (pun intended). Just about as solid as the coupe as far as handling is concerned. Very well planted, just a little heavier. I don’t track mine but enjoy every minute in the seat.

3rd Gen is my second favorite body style Camaro, BTW. Love the IROC wheels.

I started to want one after renting a 4 banger vert on a business trip. The car felt like me even though she was nearly as much of a dog as my LG4 motor. I had rented a lot of convertible Mustangs but that Camaro rental felt like me.

Not sure what year or color as it depends on what's available and which dealer is overpricing. It would be a DD, well when I'm not working out of my house so I don't drive in snow. It's a matter of talking the salesmen down as most are a few grand over KBB value. Some as high as 10k over.

I know it sounds goody but it just felt natural. I guess owning a third Gen pre-trained me. And I can wait for one priced right.

Though I have really enjoyed reading the threads here, so I'll be prepped for whenever I pull the trigger.

I did a quick autotrader.com search within 300 miles of zip code 08033. These are the Fifty SS models that popped up.
  • Diehl Auto, 280 miles away, 9,800 miles $33,987
  • Bridgewater Chevy, 53 miles away, 12,007 miles $39,499 (Vert)
  • North Star Chevy, 265 miles away, 8,310 miles, $37,988
  • Auto Connection of Liberty, 71 miles away, 1,059, $36,500 (Vert)
  • Holman Infiniti, 4 miles away, 3,822 miles, $34,990
  • Chevy of Milford, 137 miles away, 17,295 miles, $32,990

Yeah, I'm trying to help you spend your money. That's what we do here in Club Fifty.

Ok looking for opinions. I am not new to car detailing and have a treasure trove of products in the garage. So what is your go to detail spray that you use and why? I have used F11 but its too expensive and doesn't last that long. looking for easy of application and great shine, and not costing a ton of cash. Yes I know you get what you pay for. Your thoughts, I do not have the stripes on my 50, don't know why and yes its a 50 special addition. I.e. don't need stripe care products. Just really looking for a different detail spray, not an entire line of products I have enough already. Thanks for reading.

We know about your FIFTY. I use Adam's Polishes exclusively.

Giggles. Already had the Verts saved, and pretty much every one for sale across the country. And the 60 degree weather this weekend didn't help me.


Carvana had one at a great price but I get the willies thinking about the vending machine even though I have a week to take it to a mechanic for a detailed review.


Also, these prices are well over KBB value. They expect 50th verts to be in the 30 - 34k depending on miles and if they are CPO. Any thoughts on pricing?
