Finally drove it!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Well my car finally arrived from Alberta. There were a number of issues delaying it but mostly the weather and holidays.

The car showed up Thursday and I got to put on about 25km driving through the back farm roads on Friday . It was a sunny but cool day(10c or 50f) so I took it easy (Tires) and never went above 4000rpm, well maybe once or twice.

All I have to say is Holly F..k this is an awesome car!

Looks.... Menacing!
Sounds...... Incredible!
Engine..... only got to 4000 but wow!
Brakes..... unbelievable!
Ride..... felt every bump and love it--- its a sports car get over it!

Attachment 686716

The pic was taken at the gas station across the road from the dealership filling it up for the first time. I barely got out of the car and a father/son starting walking up with phones out taking pics and asking question. The dad bought an 81 Z of the lot and still has it!

Anyway just want to thank everyone on the C5 who posted relative information about the car and to the design/build team for building a car that ticket all the boxes on my wish list.!

Welcome! And the link does not seem to work! Hoping you landed a good deal and didn't get raked over the "Canadian coals" of dealers asking above MSRP pricing!

Congrats. Let me know if you would like to join us in some racing this year with your Z/28 and we can all see what that beast can really do. We generally do a couple AutoX per month and a few track days per year.

Did the dealer not deliver with a full tank of fuel?

Not sure why the pictures not working but when I get to work the guy filling the tank is the GM of the Dealership.

I basically drove it out of their detail bays to the gas station.

I got it for dealer invoice minus about $1500 so around $72G plus 0% for 5 years.
