Awesome! I know you've been wanting this for a long time. I think black is the only color I have yet to see in person.

Sick, sick, sick!

I know you've been leaning in this direction for a very long time... glad to see you finally got what you wanted. That is awesome. Looking forward to keeping tabs on the progression as you mod it. Also looking forward to the update after you are out of the break-in period!!

I've been playing with the settings on my TV for the PC input all day, so needless to say I don't have the best view of your pictures (or anything really). That said, I can see the pearl effects in that one; very nice. Pearl black paint is gorgeous. I really like the stock wheels, too (new for '10, or am I just accustomed to seeing the SRT-8 wheels?).

Anyway, what are you initial impressions since actually living with it? I know you probably haven't pushed any limits, but from a casual driving perspective, how is it?

Damn it, I keep going back to look at this pic

^ it is sexy. I find myself more and more looking at domestic muscle as time goes by. Either the Camaro SS, Challenger R/T, or CTS-V. They all have my eye... which is odd... b/c except for my first car, and first new car I've been import all of the way!

Took the new gal up to Sonoma last Friday and came back Sunday. 1220 miles on the odo now. Fully broken in and dropping from 6th to 4th on the freeway and hitting 120 is a fucking dream. Wont be doing that really, but had to try it once on an empty stretch. You don't feel it at all and the car wants to keep pulling.

Best part of the trip was running into a new Camaro by the coast on the 101 on the drive up. I waved, he nodded and we just cruised for an hour or so til he exited. No racing, no douche baggery, just two retro muscle cars enjoying the ride. Wish I could say the same for some idiots in civics and a prelude who drove like morons and wanted to race, just stayed in the right lanes and let them go away.

Anyway, got back Sunday night and right back to work Monday. Been working on Green Hornet and was nervous because the car would be washed til the following weekend. Well, the director got sick today and we wrapped early. So, I went to the in laws house and wash/waxed the baby.

Wow! Awesome car! I missed this when it happened.

You have been wanting it for a while, and I am truly glad you got one. You have been working your ass off and it's always great to realize a dream. Congrats!

Black is the only color for that car... Just gorgeous.

Just make sure, when the day arrives, you have AT LEAST the same amount of proudness on your face upon the delivery of your first child as you did when you turned the brand new key and heard the rumble of your new beast for the first time, otherwise your wife will kill you!

I've been scoping out muscle cars too, and have been in imports for the last 10+ years!
