I test drove a 2011 v6 auto Camaro when I first moved back from Alaska, and I was very impressed with it. IMO you can't go wrong with either decision between the LLT/LFX or LS3/L99. They are all great, just depends on what you want to do with them.

Loved my '06 goat and still miss it like crazy! Like you, I WILL have another once the Camaro is paid off. Then I will modify the GTO to my liking.

Yes, its good that the car gets driven.

What impresses me the most though about your daughter's boyfriend is that he "never stomped on it like that..." with her in the car...lol...Sounds like they are both good kids...Congratulations!

I had a 2005 GTO and loved driving it like I stole it.It had a few problems and went back under the lemon law in 2007.I ordered a 2008 RJT Vette for its replacement,turned the GTO in the first week of September and hopped in the Vette.

Yes, you want to keep burning off the old fuel and keep the battery charged. A battery tender is OK for a few weeks but I would not leave a battery on "trickle" for six months.

IMO vehicles also need to be driven regularly to dehumidify the interior, and prevent that musty "been sitting around" odor. Especially if a car sits outside for a long time. Mildew will grow on the headliner.

Tires need to be exercised to prevent flat spots, and work the UV-protectant wax to the surface.

I really wanted the V8. Hopefully in the future

Oh my, oh my, oh my, the v8 seed has been planted.

RSloth · 07-01-2012, 01:09 AM

To be honest
and I know why.
after modding my v6 -exaust and CAI
I was disappointed when I drove a stock v8
NOT SAYING IM FASTER AT ALL
but the torque and the feel wasn't there
I could only imagine what a v8 modded like mine would feel like

It was sooo obvious that the keys were left for this purpose. Anyone with a car like that is going to want it driven a bit. Espec. by a trusted person like this. Not sure why you didn't pick up on that.

This is freaking HILARIOUS. As soon as I read this comment I thought to myself "This guy must be from Jersey." Sure enough I looked down and saw

Idk why you guys bitch and moan so much. If I was over there I wouldn't give a shit who had my back as long as I could count on someone. Like this isn't a v6 v8 bullshitting fight. Guys fight and die. Idc if your a cook in the army or a part of the seal team. I went to every branch and they wouldn't let me in due to asthma. Next best thing I am a cop now. Lord
