Greetings from Iowa!

I've been lurking for the past month or so, and have started to make a few posts, so I thought I'd introduce myself.

I've been a motorcycle guy for the past 17 years, so I'm pretty new to the performance car scene. (Had an '02 Mustang GT, supercharged, WAY back when, but it this car puts significantly more power down stock, lol)

The wife and I decided it was time to let the bikes go, so we sold my 2019 Road Glide and her Can-Am Spyder, and bought a 2020 Camaro LT1 on August 8. I've been thoroughly enjoying it ever since.

No mods as of yet, but I've got my eye on a Borla S-type axle-back to get some better sound going on. Stock mufflers are pretty darn quiet.

Other than that, probably nothing major. Thinking about a spoiler, just because I think they look better with one, than without. May swap out the wheels/tires eventually, to get something wider than 245 out back, and to get rid of the silver stock wheels. That's a harder sell, given the price tag to get a decent setup. Lots of nice rides on this site, I'm sure I'll find inspiration here on how to spend more $$ on the Camaro :-).

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!!
