New to the Camaro (ZL1) club

Hello Folks,

Been lurking here for a few weeks and am finally taking the time to introduce myself.
I have owned BMW M3 (e92) and Porsche 928 GTS but have never had the pleasure of a true American muscle car.
I always bought into the stigma that American sports cars were cheap and only good for straight line performance (except for maybe the last generations of corvettes).
Well, over the last few years the praises for the Mustangs (Gen 4/5) and Camaros (Gen 5) have been making me take notice.
So about a year ago the Gen 6 ZL1 popped up on my radar. Wow, what a good looking car I thought. Then all the reviews started coming in (particularly the A10 reviews) and it really started to get my attention.
Anyways "short story long"
I found a great deal on a barely used (700 miles) 2018 with all the bells and whistles and all I can say is DAYUMM!!
I am loving this A10 transmission!

Thanks.
I wasn't even looking for this color. Originally I wanted Black or Garnet Red. I'm glad I ran into this beauty though.

The cobalt blue is pretty bad ass too.

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!
