Arrow L99 Love

I realize that some people on here who own an L99 have been disappointed in performance, but I feel inspired to start a thread that shows nothing but love for the L99. I own one and could not be more pleased! It seems that mine does the complete opposite of all of the negative comments that have been made about it in this forum. It's super fast out of the block, 0-60 times are right on par as advertised, and so are the quarter mile times. My opinion is that most L99's perform like mine, but there are a select few that are having some problems which is true for any vehicle for that matter. Just wanted to give some love to the L99 camp!

Do you think this could be a result of how the car was broke in??
I am picking mine up on Tuesday and definately don't want a grandfather car.

That is a debatable topic, but you can read about some of the experiences that some owners have done on here via this thread:

I picked up my L99 1ss today. It's got <150 miles on it now, (I went for a ride!) and this thing is a BEAST! NOT slow. VERY quick. It will throw you against the seat in a heartbeat when the fron end comes up and that V8 roars! I can't wait until I get past that magic 1500mile marker! Beautiful, powerful, quick car!

Congratulations on getting your car today! I was like a kid in a candy shop when I received mine and to this day, still have excitement about it.

Ditto. Couldn't be happier with mine! The wheels break lose off the line with the ST and TC disabled... even a little bit with them on. Had my wife time the 0-60 and it's below 5 sec. Of course she asked me when to start the clock and I told her when her head hit the back of the seat

I will be getting an automatic Camaro. It might not have the L99, though.

That L99 is pretty incredible. The fact that GM has a 6-speed automatic tranny behind it makes it even more remarkable.
