Hey All,

I've used this website for so much good information over the years but finally decided to join as it's a great place to communicate with fellow Camaro enthusiasts and gurus.

I absolutely love the 5th Gen ZL1's. For me, they represent such a good combination of looks, power, uniqueness, comfort, and technology. Plus, WHO DOESN'T LOVE AN LSA! The 5th Gen Camaro really embodies the eternal muscle car look to me.

I bought my first ZL1 in Staten Island, I'd never been there before but I made the 3 hour drive up from South Jersey. It was a 2012 Black Coupe w/A6 and how cool that was driving around the boulevard in a town that you've never been. I'll never forget the first time I heard the rumble of an LSA!

My second ZL1 I drove 3 hours to Maryland to purchase a 2013 Inferno Orange Metallic ZL1 Convertible. That puppy was VIN #00025, being the first year for a convertible ZL1 Convertible, this was one of the first ZL1 Convertibles EVER. Jeff Gordon's was #24. I adored that car and sold it because of the market and change in work back in 2020.

Fast forward to 2022 and I never regretted selling a car more than my ZL1 Convertible. I HAD TO get another one.

So for my third ZL1 I (again) drove 3 hours in the snow to Lancaster and purchased my current car. A 2014 ZL1 Convertible w/Manual 6 Speed in Red Rock Metallic. I absolutely adore these cars with a Manual Transmission now that I own one. WOW, talk about power. Keeping it stock but have Rotofab Intake and Elite Engineering Catch Can on there now. I plan on keeping this car for a LONG time since I've come to realize how attached I was to my ZL1 Convertible when I sold it before.

My 2014 ZL1 keeps my 1967 Chevelle company in the garage and I tell you what, it is so special to have a classic and modern Chevy in the building together. My father taught me well, and I miss him every day. So we keep the legacy going and push it forward. I just turned 28 and feel so fortunate to be alive during this great era of modern muscle!

Sorry for rambling everyone but here's some pictures:
