Made the switch from Import to Muscle, extremely happy. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So for many years I have hung on to my 93 Mazda RX7 TT (FD3S) and before that I was into the Honda craze right out of highschool. I have ridden in some muscle cars here and there and have been impressed with the feeling of torque.

Well after spending my last dollar fixing my rotary nightmare and letting the the old worn out interior cracking and creaking get on my nerves for the last time, I took the plunge. CAR-eerer change

. I am now the proud owner of my first muscle car, a 2014 Camaro SS 1LE. I have to say I am in love with cars all over again. I am new to Chevy and Camaro so I will be around asking some questions like a noob but looking forward to learning about a new lineage and inner workings of the Camaro and the Chevy family.

Here is a pic of what I sold and now what I have. Excited to meet you all and be here.

Nice upgrade! Welcome to the family! I drove Mazda's for 12 years straight before I switched to the Camaro. Best decision I've ever made. You're gonna love the SS!

SimpleGreen · 01-05-2014, 10:10 PM

Awesome!

No better Camaro to get started in than a 1LE!

congrats and welcome

Welcome! The 1LE is a great way to introduce you to muscle cars.
Nice RX-7. I've always liked the FD's because of their clean, modern design. To someone uninformed, they could easily mistake it for a 2014 car.

Welcome, you're gonna have a blast

You made the right choice, but I was always a fan of those 3rd gen RX7's
