My Camaro is gone now

After 3 years and 3 months of great time together, my Camaro is now gone.
It was the most fun daily driver I've ever had for sure.
Sure it wasn't perfect, but there is no such car out there - I know my car was whole lot more reliable over the 60k miles, than my brother's 488 in 6k miles, and I'm quite positive I would be almost as fast as he is on track.

Sure this car was great, but the best part of owning this car was to get to know all these great people.
I met Becky when I first ordered it, and now she's good friend of mine with or without the car, and my best track buddy.
I met Mr. Wyndham, MLee, and great staffs of Camaro Fest. Also great friends and great track buddies, I might add.

I probably won't be coming into this forum as often now, but I will check back in from time to time.
I’m not going too far away from Camaro brotherhood – I’m picking up Camaro’s ‘nerd twin in tuxedo’.

Thanks Y’all, and I'll see you around!!!

That's what I was wondering too. My guess is a Blazer but hopefully something like a CTS-V.

Met you once back in Oct 17 at Gingerman. I was there as a rank beginner in my ZL1.
IIRC, you actually passed Becky on the track once or twice.

God speed Jay.

I remember you! Passing Becky....? Maybe she was on her cool down. Lol
Hope to see you at the track this year too.

i'm not usually a big cadillac guy, but that is an absolutely sick looking ATS-V. Really like the wheels.

I'm dreading the day that I'll have to let my ZL1 go. In all honesty, I do think that my ZL1 is the perfect car. I have not one complaint. Which will make it that much harder to let her go eventually. I tell myself that it's for the best and that it will make way for something greater, like a GTR or M5 or Trackhawk or X6M or Z06 or even whatever the next Gen brings. But deep down I know it won't be easy to part with her no matter what I tell myself. Oh well. Sorry you had to let her go. But you have to make the best decision for yourself. All the best to you!!
