If Cyber Gray is really that light it will be really sweet IMO. Dark enough to look sinister, light enough that it doesn't show dirt as much as black. I think I would be very tempted to get a SS in that color if I end up getting one.

We've never really seen any MPG numbers mentioned for the LS3/6spd, I presume that 27mpg is mixed up w/ the V6s ratings like everyone else seems to be thinking, but is it in the realm of possibility that it is the correct rating?

The only number mentioned for the LS3 was 23MPG and the L99 with its AFM should yield at least 1 or 2 MPG better. I bet real world tests from owners will show upper 20's to near 30 after proper break-in while driving on the highway with cruise control. C6 coupe owners have reported low 30's on the highway, so the SS should only be slightly behind those numbers...either way, those are very good numbers for a car with that kind of power and torque. Those numbers would not have even been imagined 10-15 years ago.

Although I'm glad to see the Camaro as the Daytona's pace car, I think the custom paint job doesn't work in the car's favor. The car has such great lines, and the paint job pulls your eyes everywhere else instead. Maybe I'm just a fanboy, but I think traditional rally stripes and some lettering on the door would've been the way to go.

i thought the cyber grey would be a little darker. after seeing it im glad i chose black. cyber grey isnt dark enough for me. looks good though. i guess this is why they were saving the cyber grey for last to be seen. but actually the fronts yellow so we still havent seen the whole car in cyber grey.

I saw a Z06 in Cyber Grey (with the Comp Grey Spider wheels) at a dealership and that thing looked wicked! It was an overcast day and that color still looked VERY nice!

I am really looking forward to seeing a CGM Camaro on the street.

I also wish this color were available on more vehicles. I could imagine that a Cobalt SS or Impala SS would look real nice in CGM. Is it a different color than the Dark Grey Metallic that is currently available on several models?

I believe that is orange and not yellow, though it does look like it....

Yeah, that doesn't really look like Rally Yellow. It's a more orange-y yellow. I like it better than the Rally Yellow.

So is that all paint, or is the car Cyber Gray with a large sticker or stickers on it?
I've seen on Horsepower TV where they can cover a whole car with a decal.

I'm not saying it's orange because of the metallic in the paint, hence the separate sentence.

Here is yellow:


and again:



also, note there are other yellow things in the background,.,.,quite a few actually,.,.,.
