I needed a new car since the '99 Grand Prix GTP was 11 years old (great car!). Wanted to go back to my sports car roots. I liked the Challenger's looks but thought they were heavy, slow and over-priced. Also, my previous Mopar experience told me to stay the heck away, no matter how good it looked. Went to Beach Ford to look at Mustangs - didn't like a single one of them (I've owned several but that was a long time ago). Just outside their showroom door was a beautiful red SS with white stripes. When I looked at it and looked over at the Mustangs I just laughed. The Mustangs weren't even in the same galaxy as far as looks go. So, I must credit Ford for steering me to the SS. Thank you, Ford!!!!
So then I go to Chevy's web site. Started playing with the colors. Always did like a sports car in yellow if it was just the right tint, but they were hard to find. When I started building my own on the site with everything I wanted, I fell in love with the Rally Yellow w/black stripes. The other colors were great too but the RY just really grabbed me. Went to RK Chevy to see what they had and to test drive. They only had one Camaro on the lot, a black SS automatic. Took it for a spin - hated the automatic. After the test drive I searched the internet to see if there were any local dealerships that had the EXACT specs that I wanted and, lo and behold, Priority Chevy had it. Talked to RK and they said they could do a DX (dealer exchange) to get it. Purchased 12/8/10. The rest is history. I love this bad boy!!
