Great write up! You represented our camaro5 family very well. Every tidbit I read gets me more anxious and excited to place my order. If all goes well, I hope to place an order for an early 2013!
To everyone at GM, Thanks for a car of a lifetime! Now to go make more room in the garage..... |

Man this thread will sell ZL1's. I bought my 2SS in October and have been thrilled with it. I like reading the ZL1 section but until I read your posts, I never really wanted one. I figured if I was ever going to spend $60k on a car, I'd get a Vette or something. Now I can feel a little itch inside me. I have a feeling that itch will only get stronger as time goes by

Man, that’s the best write up yet! It made me feel as if I were right there with you.
You addressed every single little detail that I could possibly think of asking... Thank you so much for sharing! Much appreciated! However I have a few “easy” questions for you: - did they have any news in regards to the QC hold or how close to the finish line they are with their CTF cars? - How did you feel about the Malibu ride back to the airport after driving ZL1s for a couple days? - Is the ZL1 in the pic below Ashen Grey or black? It looks almost black but I guess it could be because of the overcast… i have an ashen waiting to be shipped. (#165) |

Booooosted.

Wow.
Joe, great job. I'll bet you are pretty good at writing things but something tells me that article (write-up fine but it's better than most articles) was so good for a reason. Truly fun reading. So well written it had me and my car feeling rather insignificant. I'm looking out at the driveway thinking, "Damn, I want a ZL1". hahaha Remember that line in Top Gun where Meg Ryans character said "He loved flying with you Mav. He'd have done it anyway though. He'd have hated it, but he'd have done it"??? So tell me, could you do an equally good write-up for a Cobalt? You seeing the Silver and Black was awesome. Totally jazzed for you. What a great opportunity. Oh, and this has me thinking tranny swap. Quote:

I have to agree, I own IOM but that SIM with Black wheels is just perfect, gorgous
