Eating LT1 Humble Pie... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Well can I start with an apology? I'm sorry.

I've been here before I'm not going to hide it. My original username was 1987GNX. I came in trying to stay neutral before and keeping an open mind but I let some people bait me into some arguments that led to me being banned.

I was originally going to get the 2015 Limited Edition Mustang. Well after 3 months of delays and a possible January Delivery and increasing my markup from 5k to 10k I decided to walk away from the Blue Oval.

After a weekend of researching cars I found this...its not a Camaro but I have a new found respect for Chevrolet and as the title says I've been eating some humble pie lately. Here she is...

2015 Corvette Stingray 2LT with PDR/Nav in Laguna Blue. Sticker was $62k but USAA pricing and Veteran rebate $54k. Not a bad deal.

This is my DD so I skipped on the Z51 pack and I don't track.

Can I say I'm sorry again? What an engine, what a car. I have never driven a vehicle with power EVERYWHERE in the power band. Gobs of torque and it never feels weak. Isn't the LT1 supposed to go into the 2016 Camaro? It'll be a rude awakening for Mustang owners.

Hopefully you guys can give me a second chance. I'm done being a fanboy its time to be a Car guy. I'm 100% happy with my purchase and wouldn't change a thing. once I get my Corsa Extremes installed this week it'll be complete lol.

Here are some more pics.

Supposedly no one on stingray forums knew about it. Supposedly they snuck it in for the 2015+ pretty awesome to see the power climb.
