2nd Time Around - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Back in the olden days of slightly over three years ago, I bought a 15 Z/28 in Oct 2014.

I absolutely adored that car but an opportunity came up when three months later someone backed out of one of the first Z07 deliveries in the SE, and with the dealer offering a great trade on the 28 I jumped at it.

It is a decision that I regretted ever since. I did love my Z07, and all the cars I've owned since, which have included a 991.1 TTS, a 991.1 GT3RS, a 2018 AMG GT-R, and a few more on order. But something about the pure visceral driving experience of the Z/28 has always called on me to get another one.

So I did:

Basically like new inside and out with 1300 miles.

So now I need to refamiliarize myself with all the bits I need and all the little mods I did to the first one: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=381564

I also need to remember which was the NPP fuse and I might look into a front slitter swap as I plan to drive this one a lot more and it would just be easier without the spatula. I have the cars to track so this is just for the pure enjoyment of the open road.

Nice to be back ... ill be around for more than three months this time.

You have owned some really performance/handling nice cars, what made you come back to the Z28?? Some of those other cars have 3 times the price tag of the Z28!

Welcome back!

I'm a two timer also(wonder if we are the only one's) Bought an AGM 15 when they had the 20% off in late 14, sold it to a great guy on here but had sellers remorse. Bought a 15 SIM last summer used and all is right in the galaxy once again. Not that i care but these are the next GNX's IMO.
