Finally picking the car up Saturday July 23rd - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So, no sleep for me this week...how did all of you handle the pre-delivery week?

The car has been at Tom Henry Chevrolet since May 26th...picking it up on Saturday at his car show and cruise...then joining in on my first drive in it - EVER - for the cruise. Then driving it home to Iowa for a bath and a session of just staring at it in the garage (after waxing of course).

Here are the last pictures they sent me a week ago before they "did some things to it" This will be THR #11 of 2011. I cannot wait to drive it. Dyno'd at 432 at the wheels...that should hold me for a while...I hope.

looking good bro.

Why is it 432 Hp at the wheels? I noticed your rims are different,also.Is it coming pre-modified or something?
Looks good anyway and congrats!

looks really nice. I had some hard nights before delivery. But that first drive makes up for it all.

It is coming pre-modified. THR stands for Tom Henry Racing and it is a division of Tom Henry Chevrolet. http://tomhenryracing.com/ They do anything you want to your car - they even dyno'd it and posted a video on Youtube for me. Great people to deal with and they have put me at ease through this entire process.

The car is an L99 Auto car with an E-force supercharger and cat back exhaust system, Rotofab intake, SLP wheels, and Synergy Edition Stripes painted on. The stripes and wheels are painted to match in a silver pearl that is close to the color of the leather seats. I loved the look of the Synergy package, but loved the Synergy Green paint - so Tom built me the car I wanted. He went so far as to track down the CGM Synergy car in Oshawa and took detailed photos of the stripes to give his painter. They are practical jokers and have made this whole process a lot of fun.

Congrats, that is one real nice looking Camaro, I can only imagine how awesome it is going to be to drive.

I cannot wait to drive it either! And - bonus...already signed by the build team AND the Fbodfather himself! Scott actually drove the car for me and he liked it.

i dont mind the license plate bracket in some states its illegal so NICE car btw enjoy

*edit* at least its color coded to the car always a plus

toesuf94 · 07-18-2011, 03:43 PM

It was a dealer trade car, and since it was already mounted, I had them paint the holder to match. Iowa state law...two plates. I hate it, but the state is broke and they are fining people now for it.

brAnd7onX · 07-18-2011, 04:03 PM

It's illegal here too but Ill pay the ticket hahaha

BAD DAB · 07-18-2011, 04:08 PM

HookemHorns · 07-18-2011, 04:34 PM

Sweet ride, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine. I would be camping out at the dealership
