It's been real, it's been fun. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Bought my 1LE new back in 2015, and must say it's been the most enjoyable vehicle I've ever owned, by a long shot. Road trips, road course events, modding.. nothing but fun.

It's been time to move onto something different however, and after a lot of "One day I'm gonna...." talk on my part, I finally pulled the trigger on something a bit different (C6 Z06). I'm aware these have their own set of issues, but I hope this car is as enjoyable as the Camaro has been.

I wanted to give a thank you to this forum, which has been incredibly helpful on all fronts when it comes to these cars. You guys have been awesome!

Happy motoring, and stay safe!

Ok, I guess that’s an acceptable replacement vehicle

but...

At c6 and up vette is one of the few things I would even consider getting rid of this 5th gen for, so I will begrudgingly say congrats sir!

Also, I second the motion for pics!

Oh, I'll still lurk and chime in when I can, no worries

Nice choice! I was looking at those too before I finally settled on my 1LE, they were pretty close to the same price range. I knew my kids would never forgive me if I bought a 2 seater though so ultimately I had to rule it out. Looking forward to more pics!
