Congrats from a fellow Sterling Gray owner!

And I'm in total agreement with your below statement. I'm glad GM redesigned the Camaro since it pushed Ford to new heights of design prowess with the new 2011 GT. Ford has really come through this last year with a well designed lineup and hope they keep going strong.

I followed the development of the S197 since then (and in later years, the 5th Gen Camaro). I was extremely disappointed with how the new Camaro turned out. I'm glad GM brought it back, and I hope they continue to improve it because it's going to spur Ford on to do bigger and better things with its pony car. When GM burdened the U.S. taxpayer with its decades' worth of bad management decisions and terrible product, I left that camp for good. I've recommended Ford to everyone I know who is in the market for a new car. This will be the fifth vehicle that I've either purchased or recommended a family member/friend who eventually purchased a new vehicle from Ford. I can't wait to take delivery of mine and I'm glad to (finally) be on board.

My brother-in-law, who works for the dealership, did. Just got home after driving it for an hour. It's absolutely phenomenal! The clutch is taking some getting used to, but shifting feels great. It was about 35 degrees outside and I could feel the tires protesting a little as a result, so I didn't get a chance to drive it hard, but the steering feels excellent. The acceleration is so smooth, it really is a blast to drive.

I instructed them not to wash it, and they didn't, so once I get a good detail on the car I'll post up some pics.
