New to me drop top
4 Attachment(s)
New to me BVM over Kalahari, 2LT with LGX auto. Blue top. Picked it up at a local dealership off trade back in November after searching for a LTG drop top for a few months. I had already made arrangements to have one shipped from out of state when this one popped up in my searches. I was extremely happy with the 2.0T in the ATS that this Camaro replaced. I felt the drivability of the turbo 4 is better, especially after a mild tune, than the V6 even if the numbers don't bear that out. LTG pickings were pretty slim after factoring in mileage, price and need of HUD & RS packages and the potential of having to ship or travel to get what we wanted (forget it if you want the 3rd pedal! I have a 4th Gen if I need to row gears), so I added the LGX to the search mix. We hadn’t been looking for or even really aware of the color combo until we saw this one. Our ATS was also BVM (or Dark Adriatic Blue in Caddy lingo), so we were already aware of the color’s characteristics. It cleans up nice, but there are quite a few minor cosmetic issues that will warrant attention.
List of upgrades waiting for warm weather to install: Brembos up front (12.6” rotors with the J55 option) ZL1 rockers (waiting on paint). Replace broken top “slider” panel. Soler TB, SEMA grill, black bowties, front bumper extension and eventually shed the terrible run flats. I already have a compatible Modern Spare from the ATS for longer trips, Thanks to the forum for providing spare tire packaging tips.
I would like a set of SS 1LE wheels or ZL1 replicas, but will probably settle on OEM 20x9.5's out back (If I can find them) when I decide to replace the OEM RFTs.
Yes, that's a car seat in the back. Tight fit, but the daughter seemed to be OK with it (for now).
