Clyde,

Sorry to read about your wife, health and pray you are well.

2cnd chance · 08-22-2015, 08:58 PM

Yes Clyde, from me as well. Reflection is good...I'm divorced again, feels like starting over.

Thanks for your good thoughts, not down and out yet, just been a time for reflection and deciding what is important in life. I will try to continue coming here and contributing when I can, my years as a first gen Z/28 owner keep me interested in the messages on this forum.

Keep on keepin on guys.

Back home in Michigan this weekend and within 5 minutes saw a CTS-V and a 6th Gen Camaro. Both look really good. Camaro I recognized by the DRLs. At first glance I the V was an ATS-V. Enjoyed seeing both.

High 50s or low 60s.

Yeah, but it won't come with anything that made the Z/28 such an expensive, or awesome, car.

Well GM is commanding a $15,000 premium for the CTS-V over the premium trimmed CTS V-sport. So I would look at a similar premium over the 2SS.

Farmer's math gets me to $65,000 for a ZL1. Question is what is the Z/28 or is there even room for one? I believe now, at least without a NA 500 HP V8 in the plan, GM will give us 2 flavors of LT4. One a street bruiser with all the comforts of home and another with zero options, zero frills and low weighting in key areas PLUS CC brakes. Drum roll............that car goes for another $10,000 leaving us right where we are today for the Z/28, $75,000.

Now what I believe and what I hope for are two completely different things. I still HOPE for a 525 or so HP NA LT5. And that is a horse of a different color.

Wait........... did I ever meet you?

2016 SS with NPP start and rev. Sounds pretty good to me.

Yeah, I guess it's a CTF car.

He's just excited, as I would be. Pretty sure Rick Hendrick wouldn't let him rev his car.

Hendrick usually gets Production #1, not Saleable #1 so I think he is safe.
