I'm very familiar with the 5th gens and was extremely happy with both of them so getting a 3rd wont be bad.
Fair enough that's understandable. I can't stand the cloth texture in the 6th gen. Yeah having all the options on one would be nice.

I love a C7. Did the math on one recently.

Could I afford it? Yea.

Should I? No, lol. The goal for me is to have just the right balance between the Jeep and another car that allows me to have time and money to enjoy both (mods and trips).

Yup. Super clean car. Was maintained by the dealer up until now. Part of the deal was they owe me two back tires. They put brand new ones out front when they put it on the lot and left the low tread ones out back...so they are getting two new Pirellis and they'll throw those on next time I'm there.

Otherwise she's mint. Looking for an axle back for it now. Too quiet.

New Pirellis... eew. I'm selling an axle back, but it'd still be too quiet without headers

I'm not the biggest fan either but hey it's two new tires. They'll work fine for now.

Probably going to order an S-Type exhaust for it like my old car. I was happy with that. I dont want the car to be especially loud.

Probably also some H&R 25MM wheel spacers front and rear to bring the tires out flush. Tucked in look sucks. Yea, some folks dont like wheel spacers but they are perfectly safe. My Jeep and most in the club have 1.5" spacers for tens of thousands of trouvle free miles and they get stressed way worse.

Peel the Camaro badges later this weekend...

Little stuff

Today is the first day I've really been able to drive it. About 100 miles or so, mostly highway.

Yep. I believe this is my favorite Camaro so far.

Called our favorite local tuner and he is checking his schedule on when he can do a street tune. Gonna go ahead and turn off AFM and delete the trash can resonator while I'm there. Turn off rear O2's so if I want to add LT's later it's ready.

Hope to see some folks up at Fest. Believe I'm gonna look for a room soon.

the BMR 1.25" springs are a cheap and easy way to make them handle less crappy
