If you're going to order, order fast if you can. The sales guy at my dealership today said he tried to put in a Kona Blue order yesterday and they wouldn't accept it. The tsunami knocked out the plant that made the metallic flake pigment used in automotive paint and Red Candy and Lava Red were both whacked as were Tuxedo Black. He did say that the Red Candy would be coming back at some point but wasn't able to get a Kona order in.
I'll be heading up to Englishtown on Saturday if you want to carpool up, Cap. I'll be up there for the doubleheader Corvette Challenge race taking some photos and don't mind an extra mile or three added to the car. Maybe talk Camaro with my coworkers racing team
There are quite a few sitting around on lots but they're hard to find. Sit down with your dealer to locate the sucker that you might want in their system and you might have to chase it down a bit. The Brembo brake package they put on the GT's are worth it in the tires alone! The wheels, suspension upgrade, PCM computer changes, tires and brakes/rotors are a huge value for money with that package. When I was considering a GT coupe it was a "must have" on the list for sure. The stock brakes aren't any slouch especially if you're wanting to run in a straight line and the rest of the stuff doesn't matter except make for a stiffer ride but I'd intended autocross and road course track days. Actually I intend that on my little sixer anyway. I'm restricted to track days with various auto clubs because I have no intention to put in a roll bar in my little six banger.
Hope you can swing the deal you want man. I'm excited for you now that I'm done being excited for me.
im' gonna call em first thing in the am. the problem is my point of contact is off tomorrow. if i can't get that blue, i got no problem with black, as.....well.....you can't go wrong with a hot black car.
i gotta work till at least 3 on saturday.....probably be putting the cylinder head back on the crv.
good point, about the suspension tuning, ecm, and other changes....for me to add that crap after the fact will cost me far and above the 1600 they option it for......hell...just the wheels and tires would top that. besides....there's a 2009 i pass every day on the way to work....he's got the shelby scoops on his 1/4 windows....gonna stop and ask him where i think.
black on black, go fast, stop fast, turn fast....the only slow part is the fuel gauge.
as for the rollbar......i think ford makes some very nice ones that are pretty well integrated into the system, and shouldn't interfere with the roof?
