Love the Z06! Atomic Orange looks so sweet on the C6Z.

Thanks! I'm lovin the paint treatment on the back of yours.

It is illegal for us to do so -it's called restraint of trade - and you can go to jail for attempting to tell a dealer what he/she can or cannot sell a car or truck for....just ask the fellows from Honda.......

That said - it's also called 'Free market" --

Let me ask you this: Should all 2002 Camaros be worth the same price? Of course not! If there's strong demand, price goes up. If there is no demand, price goes down........

Well, I wont deal with JOHN HALL CHEVROLET (Daytona Beach) because of the price gouging. I was a loyal cutomer of thiers for 7 years, purchased over 13 new vehicles from the same dealership and I placed my original order for a IOM C5..........waited, waited, waited and when delivered was hit with that "market adjustment" crap and never purchased another vehicle from them again......................

Still loyal to GM....

And my favorite new GM dealer is , of course "Becky at Rodgers Chevrolet"

I think you made a good decision. Personally I'm not crazy about the ZL1. I don't like the fog lights on the front of the bumper. Kinda ruined the whole car for me. Not that crazy about the hood either.

I like the Jay Leno car. Do one like that with a about 550rwhp and suspension goodies and I would take that all day long over the ZL1......but that's me.

Any other sisters who are single with similar attributes and finances???

Love your orange vette. Looks like your neighbor has a 300. You should post track times of both cars once you're done modding the Camaro.

I'm still up in the air on how I feel about the ZL1 (too much suede) but I think you'll be more than happy with your Camaro. Plus it will look kick a$$ next to your Vette!

Ah the ZL1...the dream machine. Being in Canada, I would be surprised if we would be able to pick one up for under $70,000.

I would love to have one, but that car would be a garage queen for the most part. Realistically, it will be out of my price range, so I went ahead and traded up for a 2SS/RS as well. And I think it is terrific!

I hope you're enjoying yours as much as I'm trying to enjoy mine (what with the snow we have here). LOL
