Howdy from Central Texas

I'm new to this site but not new to Camaro's. I own a 30th Anniversary Edition (RPO Z4C) Z28, T-tops, 6 speed manual that's almost completely stock. I'm on a couple of other Camaro forums but not very active.

Been thinking of selling ol' '97 and moving up to a 2LT 5th gen so here to gather information on things to know before making the switch. I know a guy with a '14 LS and he seems to know less about the car than I do.

My brother auto-x's his 1970 Chevy Nova in San Diego and it's something I'd be interested in on a limited basis. I've looked at the FE4 upgrades and 1LE suspension upgrades. I like a car that can turn corners, not so much that goes fast in a straight line for 1/8th or 1/4 mile at a time. My wife has a '15 Mini Cooper S that is a blast to drive but we don't need two of them at the house. I like corner carving but would also drive it around to run errands. I have a take home car for work so don't use my own to commute. Road trips are great too.

I also have two motorcycles, one for street and one for off road though it's a dual sport (street legal dirt bike). I might be getting out of that too as my back just can't take it much anymore. Sucks getting older.

So here I am, gleaning information from all of you. If you're around the Austin, TX, area then we may run into each other.

- Dave

Dave, 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, dad's, wives', husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy.

Welcome!!
