It was time for new summer transportation, So i picked up this bad boy. Its a 2017 Chevy Camaro SS, 50th Anniversary edition. 6.2Litre V8, 455HP, 457 Lbs Ft Torque. 6 speed manual tranny. Has Launch Control and No Lift Shift, and a dual mode exhaust ( you can by pass the mufflers )

Since its Rear Wheel Drive, 455hp and our roads are snow and ice packed now ( this = disaseter to attempt to drive it) , the dealer was kind enough to deliver it to my garage door on a flat bed truck.

be a long wait till spring











This Camaro joins my chevy family of summer toys - 1990 Chevy 454SS Truck(7.4 liter V8 -- Fuel Pig) and 1991 Chevy Corvette Convertible

Thanks Guys !

Ill probably never drive it to its full potential, but it does come with a Race Track only set of Brake ducts that you bolt on if you take it to the track.

The launch Control and No lift Shift features are for Drag Racing it.

Love that truck ! Cool

It seems to me that none of those are particularly suited to ice and snow. How do you get around in winter (apart from the snowmobile) ?

Thanks Strokerboy, the 454SS is a nice little old truck.

Your correct, none of these are winter vehicles, I drive a Dodge RAM 1500 4x4 Sport Truck in the winter, i put bigger wheels and more aggressive Snow Tires on for winter driving though, This truck has a 5.7 litre V8 Hemi with Mullti Displacement System ( cuts out 4 cylinders when they are not needed for power) and has an 8 speed Auto Transmission, all in all its very ver y good on fuel for a big truck.

I guessed as much, but I assumed it'd be a black Chevy one... Shocked
