I think its crap. I bought two Hot Wheels and really don't have the time to run all over. The 2SS has a strange melted spot on the front wiper cowl. I noticed it when i had gotten home with the SS the day i picked it up May 4th, I picked up the 2LT conv HW on May 10th and showed it to the salesmen. I took a picture and sent it to him that day along with the rear strip issue. Now the local dealer says they can't help with that and the selling dealer wants me to bring it by so the service manager can look at it. That means that with the time stamped picture that shows May 10th i will still have to drive 280 miles back and forth from the selling dealer to get this taken care of. What a pain in the a,,. Now the A8 shutter has now started, very annoying. Will they tow it due to the shutter.
I traded in my Challenger Hellcat for the SS. I bought a 2008 Challenger SRT the first year they came out and traded it for the 2017 Hellcat. I was at the dealer with my Challengers one time in 10 years for the airbag recall. That's it, one time in 10 years. It may be time to go shopping. Three problems with the GM in 6 months and all 3 are a pain to deal with. The A8 fix will not be out till the first quarter of 2019. REALLY!!!

Your local dealer should do the A8 warranty work. I bought my 16 A8 from Becky (out of state) and it was no problem getting it corrected locally.

I had three issues with my 16 2SS that similarly frustrated me. The A8, headliner replacement and parasitic battery drain. My 04 GTO was only at the dealer once in +11 years for the gas cap recall. (I did all other maintenance work myself)

The headline was replaced, I took the aftermarket LED marker lights off and the battery drain stopped. The A8 was fixed with a new TC but I lost confidence in the transmission long term and traded it for this manual. My fingers are crossed for a repeat of the GTO’s great ownership experience.

Y ou would think if you bought a Chevrolet you should be able to bring it to any Chevrolet dealer to fix anything that was on the window sticker. This was not thought out well by GM.

That’s true but some dealers are idiots and won’t fix anything unless you buy it from them. It’s not GM thing dealers are just a-holes

Hello all, I am new to the group and new to Camaros. I just recently bought two new ones. One for my wife and of course myself. My wife's is just a 1LT and mine is the 50th Anniversary Camaro SS. Hope to see lots of good stuff here.

Welcome! Sounds like you picked up two sweet rides. Just for clarification, I am assuming you bought a 2018 50th Anniversary Hot Wheels Camaro SS, as opposed to a 2017 Camaro Fifty 50th Anniversary. Hot Wheels is Orange Crush, Camaro Fifty is Nightfall Gray Metallic (hint...the car in my signature below)

He has 2018 H/W's in his profile.

I am thinking about having it towed due to the transmission shutter. That will solve the time problem.

18Hotwheels-SS · 10-27-2018, 05:22 AM

Welcome Don Craft, I also bought two. Enjoy

Nice information. My SS M6 is one of 246! These cars are pretty rare.

... and I got another compliment on the car yesterday!

dohvb1 · 10-27-2018, 09:32 AM

Got to be pretty cool for the person with the 2LT Vert M6 to say they have the only car like it in the world. Where mine is lost in the crowd of 1 of 872.

Wow, if I’d gone with a 50th HW in my configuration I’d have only 1 of 38 in the US.

Ah well, I’m very pleased with my F1FTY. Congrats to all of the 50th HW owners!

It's still available for sale. I just stumbled upon it while price shopping HW convertibles online.
