Great experience and great story thanks for sharing.
I'm sure it had to be a real shocker and very exciting to see the Camaro mule be unloaded from the truck.
I get the feeling from the pics that we have seen the Camaro sits low and has a low overall height. Which I like and I'm glad you could verifiy this in person.
So in the Automatic car with the paddle shifters how did the interior look overall. Not the minute details but did the interior flow with the car and did it seem different in person that what we've seen in pics? How was the seat bolstering?

probably true, but in the original post it wasnt stated which 69 the 5th gen weighed more then... did he mean heavier than the heaviest possible 69? i dunno, open to interpretation

Yes the numbers for other trims were low 3000s, but for some reason the Z28 is quoted at 3765lbs from multiple sources. Whether or not that is true I don't know. I didn't think it makes much sense since the ZL1 was 3368. I can't imagine the Z28 being 400 lbs heavier than it.
