Actually Daniel is from NC and he does have a channel. This is a different car. That’s not him.

Talking From Stingray Back Into Camaro

In March of 2017, I traded in my beloved Summit White 2014 Stingray Z51 for a new Krypton Green 2017 Camaro 2SS.

Not really by choice.

I ruptured a disc in my back and it was too painful to drive my Stingray, even with its magnetic ride.

I saw a Krypton Green 2SS with magnetic ride and decided I'd take it for a test drive.

I was AMAZED! The comfort of the seats and the ride quality were light years ahead of my Stingray. The power was there too.

Going back to a Camaro from a Stingray was not going to be the step backwards I originally thought.

I bought it and said good bye to my Stingray.

I had to break up all the green so I had the hood, mirrors, and spoiler painted carbon flash metallic like the trim and Stinger stripe on my Stingray.

I added a custom fuel door and ground fx from RPI, a cold air intake from CAI, and LED marker lights from AAC.

After supplier pricing, rebates, and aftermarket stuff, I was into my Camaro at $43k.

Just 4 short months later, I sold the car to a small dealership in Missouri for $50k(I walked away with $7k in my pocket). He then turned around and sold it to a friend of his in New Zealand for a nice profit.

As soon as he drove away with it on his trailer, I knew I had made a mistake.

I've spent the last year looking for another one with magnetic ride.

After several road trips, I finally found the one I wanted at Route 66 Chevrolet in Tulsa and drove it home on September 15th.

Route 66 paid to have the car's paint decontaminated, buffed out, and polished cuz there was 18 months of lot dust and fall out embedded in the clearcoat.

Garage Time Auto Detail & Restoration https://m.facebook.com/garagetimerec...ernal&mt_nav=0 did the work and applied ceramic coat to the paint as well.

The dealership added Red Line Rims and all weather performance Goodyears to the car.

The car absolutely glows and the Red Line Rims are more like Green Line Rims now. The color of the stripes is 063 Lime Tree Green by Oracle.

The car is currently at my local dealership getting the carbon flash treatment.

Aftermarket goodies have also been ordered.

I WILL NOT be getting rid of this one!

More pictures to follow as paint gets done and mods get put on.

Thank you! Glad to be back.

My Stingray was great and I'd love to still have it(along with my first Krypton Green 2SS), but this Camaro is definitely NOT a step backwards.

Corvette designers could take a few lessons from the Camaro designers as far as seat comfort and ride quality goes.

The paint(carbon flash metallic, 501Q, C7 Corvette color) is done and it definitely compliments the Krypton Green.

I'm glad I went with the CFM again instead of the mosaic black. I like the blue, green, and silver metal flake in it.

If I was actually going for the 1LE look, I would have went with satin black, but this was definitely inspired by the 1LE look.

Looks great! Is this the KG SS at Route 66 that had the white interior? if so, I'm glad it finally found a home.

Yes it was. The only new KG 2SS with magnetic ride left in the nation.

VERY NICE!

I got my black bowties too.

I received my smoked marker lights, but will wait to install them until I get my smoked 3rd brake light and smoked sequential taillights that are on order.
