Import guy now Z/28 owner in Vegas - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've been posting here a few week now and have been learning alot as this is my first american car, so I thought I should I introduce myself. I'm currently living in Vegas and I traded in my 2011 Evo X for a 2015 Z/28 w/ AC on Black Friday and got a once in a lifetime deal. They were running the 20% off, and I managed nearly $7k off on top of that. $54k @ 1.39% and $22k trade in(bought for $35.5 new 4 years ago) for my Evo with 82K miles, so cancelled an order I had in for an Alfa Romeo 4C to jump on that deal. I'm loving the car it's amazing what has been accomplished with this chassis and love every mile I put on it as my current DD. It lack of civility on the street has been totally blown out of proportion, as I expected something that was much less livable day to day. That being said I love very aggressive street cars and this comes from the factory with some of the best performs goodies you can get and a 5yr/100k warranty so no plans to mod it.

I'm a performance enthusiast so I'm not partisan to any make, but I have bought/owned 4 Evo's(IV, VI TME, IX and X) and still have a 2800lb, 425 AWHP fully caged Tommi Makinen RS that I built for Time Attack. Some other cars I've had are Celica, S12 Nissan, S-15 Silvia and RX-7.

Here are some pics of the Z/28 and Evo

Welcome!!! I sold my 2nd evo x 400+ whp and 360+ wtq and got me a gen6 2SS. Couldn't be happier! Z28 is surely a crazy change from the evo, isn't it?!

It definitely is, so much low end torque. It's an awesomely capable car, and that sound

I look forward to anytime I get to drive so much more now.

CONGRATS on the 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, 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!!
