Hello from TX

Hey guys! My name is Joe and have placed my deposit on a Summit 22 ZL1. This is my first Chevy (took me long enough) and I am so excited! I've been browsing the forums for a few weeks on my research and found a-lot of insights which helped lead me to this purchase and joining the community!

I'm coming from a 17 Focus RS and have historically been a Ford guy (see signature). After test driving a 06 corvette ZO6 with an aftermarket supercharger on a whim a while back, I found that supercharged V8's do something strange to me...and I like it . I am now at a point in my life where I can own one new! Though, can't justify a lack of backseats for a C7 Z06 so ZL1 it is! I love a good manual transmission as well and Ford's S/C V8 is A10, more expensive, or 8+ yrs old. So here I am! Hopefully will be out of "in transit" status Soon™.

Joe, 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!!
