Former GT500 Owner - Now ZL1

Greetings from Metro-Detroit... Made the tough decision to trade in my '08 GT500 Convertible for a new '13 ZL1 Rally Yellow 6MT Convertible. Just thought it was time to experience something new - hope I made the right call. Would appreciate feedback from any other members who have made the transition. Looking forward to learning more and contributing on the forum. Attached are a few pics of my old ride (officially trading it in tomorrow)...

CONGRATS on your ride and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. 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.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Wow, not sure I would have made that trade, although the ZL-1 is an extremely capable car
