Congrats! I'm sure you'll love it 
Ordering a Camaro in the next few days!

So this was unexpected... Two days from build to delivery... Got this from my salesperson at my dealer this morning!!
I will probably pick it up tomorrow or Friday, once I move some money around as I wasn't expected it so soon. Dealer still has to install the front splitter when it arrives in, but otherwise I can pick it up whenever I am ready.
Looks great ! Wished I still had some GM Card rebate left for you. (From the Camaro forum).
So was it built on Tuesday or Monday ? One day or Two to get to Cleveland ?
Hey there! Nice to see you here as well!
I assume Monday it was completed, given Tuesday morning the tracking said the car was produced (and it updates each night, I believe). Either way, super quick!
Quickest shipping ever !
Love that new car smell.
Congrats.
Congrats.
Looks Great !
Follow that break-in. GM knows what they are talking about. My LS7 consumed about 1/2 a quart of oil and sooted the tail pipes badly, but I followed break-in procedure and after about 600 miles, the tail-pip sooting stopped, and after 1000, the oil usage completely halted.Picked it up! Took it for an hour drive tonight along a scenic canalway, was awesome. Following break-in protocol for now, so limiting under 4K RPM and such... Cant wait to get full reigns! Picked up with 5 miles on the ODO.
Mid 90's ?? FYI, LSX didn't come out until 1998 model year on the F-body cars. Sounds like your uncle had a LT1 Camaro ??

Congrats on the maro !!
When selling this current gen Camaro new when they came out for 2016 I remember doing 70 on a exit ramp curve in California in a
magnetic suspension optioned 3SS
That was fun car. But the 2015 ZL1 I sold and drove during my time at that dealer was true soul sucking experience

Congrats! Looks awesome! Excellent choice.
Thanks everyone! Took it for a few nice rides this weekend (~ 100 miles) and loved every second of it. Not a big fan of the run flats (a bit noisy for sure compared to the used ones I drove with non-RF tires), but those will be swapped in the coming weeks.
Picked up 20 quarts of M1 5W30 (From WM.com at $22.XX shipped each) to do the first oil change at around 1,500 miles, then again at 3,000 before switching to following the OLM. Picked up a AC Delco filter for the first change, but looking to switch to Fram Ultra at the 3K change when I get there in Spring most likely. Also planning on doing a drain/fill of the rear-diff fluid around 1,500... Seems to be suggested on various forums due to the initial wear metals and break-in occuring (with the appropriate A/C Delco Fluid).
Replenished all my detailing gear to keep up with this one... Will be giving it's first wash this week, along with a a bit of light correction (to remove some of the light swirls and such from the dealer pre-delivery 'detail'). Will be going at it with Meg's M205 prior to the Meguiar's ceramic sealant. I am impressed though, I have not seen any orange peel and the finish across the entire car is like glass. But maybe once I wash/detail it, I will notice some more flaws

Sharp car !
Dave, he actually bought the car with a Corvette motor stuffed in it. I have no idea what kind of horsepower it had but holy crap it pinned you back in the seat. I will tell you if I was into hot rods this 400+ hp Camaro would be hard to beat for a daily driver and fun at the track!!

IIIRC, You get first 2 OC's free from GM dealer and I believe Mobil is the main oil supplier for GM dealers

I’d get the Mustang any day mostly because of the reliability of Fords.
