Black looks good. Nice choice!!

I parked next to a white Z28 at the last car show I was at, and it did not stand out from the crowd as much as my Vic Red ZL1.

What part of PA are you from? There is a white Z28 in my area as well that hits the local cruises..Im in the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton area

Fantastic man you made the right choice that’s a wicked looking ride....
Especially since your driving only a few miles a year.
Nothing like the rumble of a N/A....👍

Congrats - you will not regret your Z - fun to drive everytime you get behind the wheel.

Here is one more thing for you file - Build Counts and color distribution by year. Information put together by other Forum members, I just put in all in on pdf.

Enjoy your car!

Thanks everyone! Im loving it so far. Everyone just stares at it, like what the hell is that! My engine was built by Justin Haynes.

I just got my amp hooked back to the battery and dialed in. Stereo sounds amazing. I love this group of guys on this forum. Challenger forums were always dead.

Same. I'm from Clarks Summit.

Well, Hagerty said they can insure my nova. But can't insure the camaro because of it being a new purchase. Also, they said they cannot insure my wife's 12 grand caravan because it's a daily driver?

Congrats. Make the dealer fix the damage (or cover the repair) on your bumper. Its too much money to spend on a car to contend with typical used car marks, dings, etc. They could throw in a detail as well if you trust them.

Enjoy your Z28!

I have both... you made the right choice. It is a much more “special’ drive. Now throw a cam in and headers on and after that you’ll have no issues with pretty much anything on the road.

Congrats on the car!

SS-E-YA · 09-10-2018, 10:16 PM

Thanks everyone!

So what is the go to store for aftermarket parts for these?

If you are looking for it performance whise then a 6th. gen Camaro SS 1LE would be a better car, but if you're looking for a track monster then go with the best Camaro: 6th. gen ZL1 ( you would have better lap numbers with the ZL1 1LE but it's suspension would make you suffer as a DD).
