My car is fine but it's nowhere near a HC and to take it to the next level performance wise would be about $25k and I'd still have a 7 year old car. Life is short, so...

One of the great things about the HC is there aren't issues with a lot of the parts that typically have to be upgraded in Camaros (or at least the 5th gens). Shortblock is good, trans is good, diff is good.....

And as someone pointed out earlier....

For just a little money you can make a lot more HP.

Great choice....you won't regret it!

B5 blue is such a great color. Congrats.

If they ever made a convertible I’d consider one.

I keep thinking Dodge is waiting to release a convertible Challenger. Get a few more years out of that platform and bring in the buyers who wanted a drop top.

That IMO makes the Challenger sales even more impressive. They are still moving plenty of them with out a drop top option

Thanks. It's the only color for me. I was looking at used first because I thought the only years they made it were 15 & 16. Then, totally by accident, I found out it was available as a special order.

They just brought it back for this year as a $69 option.

Yes but they didn’t have a choice. I have access to affiliate price.

So invoice -1%.

RedEye is very tempting, but I hate the new hood.

Royal Tiger · 07-16-2018, 10:18 AM

So GM saved consumers $1000-1700 on a gas guzzler tax by putting crap on the motor (L99) that has been shown to be less effective than advertised when not used in a controlled environment, that depending on source is potentially harmful to the longevity of the motor, and costs 4 times that to strip off when upgrading the cam (because why wouldn’t you upgrade if you were just pulling the AFM/DOD)?

Yeah, in GM logic makes perfect sense. i.e. none.

I prefer the old one as well but ultimately it was too much car for me to pass up. I've been threatening for years to buy a HC but just couldn't do it. All of the upgrades to the car that make it a Redeye pushed me over the hump.

I wish they had left that nonsense off of the automatics & simply charged the tax.
