Figured I have lurked long enough and it was time to make an account.

I have been shopping for a new weekend/track car for about 18 months now. I was pretty upset with what I was test driving in my usual go to Euro and Japanese manufactures. Eventual I made the mistake of buying a 40k VW Golf that I sold in 7 months with a pretty hard hit to the wallet. Everything just feels dead anymore, like it doesn't even want you to have fun with the car.

After a while some friends told me to try american. The Mustang Gt felt OK at best, and while the GT350 was really good, the price just didn't help sell me on the lack of low end torque. A quick drive in the Challenger and knew it isn't for me. This led to GM.

I must say I feel like I have been completely missing out. I was sold on a C5 Z06, but the lack of a modern feel started to weigh on my decision and just couldn't pull the trigger. Moved up to a C6 Z06 and the car is fantastic but reported engine failures (heads, rods, and the occasional dry sump failure) deterred me quickly. Then I got a call from the dealership that sold me my golf and they told me to take an M6 1SS 2018 Camaro out for the rest of the day (about 5 hours).

I enjoyed every bit of the drive, but I did some research and found out about the 1LE package. After a couple calls I drove 2 hours just to drive one and fell in love. After the whole Golf incident I decided to walk away from it and give me sometime to really think it over. Sure there is some small complaints but the car just seems to fit what I want out of the car.

Now I am on the hunt for a 2017-2018 SS 1LE in Hyper Blue or Summit White.

BTW sorry for the long introduction!
