That said, if you own an Gen 5 SS or SS with the 1LE package there is no comparison. The Z/28 is a BEAST!!! The LS7 is a significantly stouter engine than the LS3 and the suspension, tires and brakes put my previous modded '13 1LE to shame.

I've had Corvette and Porsche owners as instructors in my Z and they all say the car is a beast and they need to get one.

I have tried to deal with them twice now with no luck. Went in couple years ago looking for 2 new vehicles and they were very hard to deal with. Went back last month to look at a camaro they had on their website and no one could tell me the color and said it was in the body show and I could not see it. Went to Rochester and bought a 2015 there. Much better service and they still had 4 or 5 to choose from.

to hear you couldn't deal w/them. But you have to go where the deal you can get that you want. God luck with the new wheels.

Hopefully you didn't go to VanBortal here in Rochester. They don'y move at all either. They let me walk out the door over $500 on a dealer for a 2014SS, Which by the way is still on their lot 7months later.

I found the old Camaro, in Saudi Arabia just like they said!

Hope all is well everyone, been away for awhile.

It really, actually is my old car. The dealer I traded it in to told me it was bought by an exporter that buys really clean, high mileage cars and ships them to the middle east. He also mentioned that the laws about odometers are not the same there. My car had the broken hood spears, the front bowtie delete, and most importantly, I put the 1984 Z28 front emblem (as on my old '84) on the front of my 2011 - all things you can clearly see in the picture.

There's more to prove it was my exact car too. It is just really weird I was able to find the ad for it.

I take your word brother. We all know our old cars, I guess I just worded my post wrong. But it really is shocking to see it across the world.

Oh I know - i was just really excited to find it, even though they told me that's where it went. I had to look at all the little details before I believed it myself!

People are also giving me a lot of grief about the price - they are asking the equivalent of about $18k US Dollars. Obviously a lot more than over here!

Grief about the price??? People are just odd. But I actually think it's pretty awesome you found it.

I meant people are kidding me about the price - I bought it for $24k out the door tax included. I had it over 5 years and put over 120k miles on it before trading it in. Amazingly they are asking > $18k for it in Saudi Arabia - much more than I got for it in trade of course!

Spring is almost here gentlemen, I know this because the mod bug is biting lol. Hope everyone had a decent winter/off-season. Thanks to acammer I came across a great deal this past week and picked up a set of BBK longtube headers for the camaro. Looks like I'll be going catless this year as well.
I was planning on upgrading to a V8 last fall and was still looking this spring but it looks as though buying a house/garage is gonna soak up most of the extra cash lol.
