I'm the New Guy

Been active in 1st Gens for years and done many an LS swap.

Decided I'd give the 5th a try.

Just bought a 2015 Z28

Looking forward to the ride.

Ok ok. Picking it up next Friday then a 1000 mile road trip home to Vegas. Love road trips

Z is white with AC and speakers 1200 miles on the clock.

Had a C7 ZO6 A6 with a Lingenfelter SC. Kept it 2 weeks. Too much luxury. Had a C6Z. Liked it ok. C5 with a Maggie which was good fun. 69 Camaro Protour with a built LS7 and then another with an LS3/525 HP crate motor. Also great rides.

Just don't feel like building another car right now and I'm looking forward the the awesome Z.

I bought a new Z in 69 when I was 19 and think the 15 might rekindle the excitement I experienced almost 50 years ago.

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!!

Bought a new Z28 in 1969.

With all the cars I've bought or built since I've never recaptured the thrill I enjoyed back then.

The new ZO6 and the C6ZO6 are awesome cars. However for me they are just too refined. Fun for the first 20 minutes then about the same as driving my Silverado.
