Been looking closely at the new caprice! Test drove a 9c1! Currently we have a 95 DGGM and a 96 DGGM. Love both cars but one will have to go if we buy new caprice......... :cry:

Hi Rendell!

Glad we got the logon problem resolved for you. I know it's hard to put a car out to pasture, but when you consider what you get in the new platform it does make the decision somewhat simpler. There's a good many current and former B-body owners on here that can help you along if you have questions.

Again, welcome!

Thanks Eric! I found a dealership that will sell 2012 Hugo blue 9c1. He asked how many I wanted! He is going to look for a 9c3 in the same color for me. He said GM is letting him sell what's left of the old stock!

If you can get a 9C3 still in a 6.0 motor, definitely go for it! I've not seen many left on Autotrader recently, this will be the hot collectible car. Civilian appearance interior, no spotlight, regular center console, and not carried over to 2014, so the three years of 2011-12-13 were it.

After you make a few mods to intake/exhaust and get the car tuned you will be very thankful you made the upgrade!

Welcome

I see you got or are getting a Caprice in the color Karma.
Pretty cool, I also have Karma.
As far as I knew I was the only one.

My wife and I like the karma color so we searched and found a 9c3 in in January. It already was lowered and I added the small police caps and changed the shifter to leather. We are planning to add turning signals, (have the spoiler) a Holden grill and trunk badge, and of course the radio! Already have the setina tray in the trunk. So far we are enjoying it.

We were trying to decide whether to drive to Indiana to look at a red one or to Connecticut for a Karma one.
Conn was closer, so we went there.
We love the color too, and we get compliments on it all the time.
So far we have the Holden fog light and side markers, G8 rear spoiler, Solo axle-back exhaust, and Cadillac CTS 19" wheels.
