Charlie,

I'm completely blown away. I've grown up with friends that had Mustangs, and my father who always had Ford F150 trucks(but as I recall...always mentioned how smoothe those Silverado's and their suspensions were...) but the more I read and hear how involved and how much passion is there, and how much they seem to really care about what the enthusiasts feel and have to say, the more I am won over. I think Chevy just earned a life time fan.

Thanks for sharing your experience in such an informative and easy to read manner. I truly enjoyed it. Like you, I am very much looking forward to the arrival of my ZL1. It is going to be an amazing car to own.

To the Camaro team. Thank you for allowing this C5 community to share in this experience. It appears you chose the right guy. Also, thanks for producing this amazing Camaro. It is a good time to be an enthusiast of American car company muscle. I love it!

while Al and I post on here - let me assure you that the team reads the posts on this site......you just don't perhaps know that they're there - but they are......

I'll quote Bob Lutz in a note to me: "Without Great Passion, there cannot be Great Cars - and without Great Cars - we can't win. We WILL win!"

TEAM CAMARO has passion! Camaro is everything to the members of this team.

Scott,

I can't say how much this has altered my view on Chevy. I can't wait to own one of these beasts. Might take me a year or two, but I'll have one.

Thanks Team Camaro for making a car of a lifetime. Cheers

Joe should be a disciple..... Just sayin....

Awesome!! What you've just seen is a big reason I'm so enthused about Camaro in general...I'm sure other makes are just as excited about building their cars...but you just don't get this kind of interaction and transparency with other cars. It helps you feel like part of the family.

Oh, no!

While it would be a great honor, please don't confuse me with the disciples...They are a wonderful group of people who've done the Camaro community proud as ever. I may be able to write, judging by the reactions here...but I'm no disciple. Those guys are the cream of the crop.

Very well written though, thanks for letting us live it vicariously

Joe, it seems as if your story has brought several new people the forum.

zero · 03-02-2012, 12:17 AM

great writing
Awesome pictures

I was a little let down when the very first test came out against the Boss...yes premature maybe..

However after reading each and every newer review after that and learning more and more how about how GREAT this car actually is.. I gotta say GM team did they did their homework very well.

A+ guys
