The ZL1 looks pretty nice, but for all the power and only can trap ~119 in the 1/4 is just such a turn off for me. I mean granted to matter what I got it would have a huge turbo on it before I ever even drove it through town, but I guess I just look at them all and don't see a performance tailored car anymore, because creature comforts sell and they obviously need to sell cars, so they have to add all these features. I do like how the brand new Camaro's look though with the subtle changes, as I wasn't crazy about them until this year, but still not enough to make me consider one, but that's just my own personal opinion. It would have to be a newer V coupe or a C6z06 or eventually a used ZR1 for me...keep dreaming lol

My only concern with the LS7 is that they don't like to have the absolute **** boosted out of them like other LS Damn thinner cylinder walls. So sexy though, and not ungodly heavy. The V coupe though, mmmm....the struggle is real, and a few years out for me lol

Love the v2 but I was just being realistic as they don't sell cheap here used. The US has a much better used buyers market. A c6 z06 would be sweet. But even a base with z51 would be awesome especially since you would be planning to boost it to Holly hell Neway.

I'm a bigger fan of the sedan and that's rare for me to say. One of the few cars I like the sedan more then the coupe is the ctsv
Rs4 I like better then the rs5 would be another one.

Having driven a Camaro 2ss and having had a 5.0 track pack (but auto) for a week. I couldn't ever own a Camaro. I can't stand the way they look and they are not a great place to be inside of either. They hVe more ***** but the 5.0 is all around a hell of allot better backing up a camaro is a joke haha. And since a zl1 is unrealistic I won't even include that.

The 5.0 GT will beat the 2ss Camaro out of the box, but not by a ton. Both nice cars don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't personally own either of them. My friend wants to sell his 99 Z28 for a new Camaro in the worst way though.

I've found quite a few 2011-12 V coupes with decently low mileage for the $38-43k range, so still not cheap by any means, but getting much more affordable. Nothing here locally though...stupid ND lol

Honestly unless a rich aunt i don't know about dies and leaves me money I ain't getting anything that would be a summer only car. So most likely my next purchase would be a used full size truck.

Wow finally communicatiom from BAD MAB. The communication was "What was the issue with the header?" SERIOUSLY!!! WTF. I sent it back to them as per thier warranty directions with a letter in the box stating what was wrong and I circled all the cracks with marker. Geez at this rate I may get it back by freakin winter.

I know how u feel, I replaced my Hahn intake and charge pipe over the space of a year. I would never buy Hahn again. such crap. and the biggest problem is, they don't care what u think and they don't try to make customer happy, they do stuff their way and that's it.

well my baby is almost done with tuning. well pretty much done. idk if there will be one more log or not. Runs 200% better than trifecta ever ran. fuel trims all dialed in, opel injectors all dialed in. nice boost ramp to 25 psi, then to 28. lots of power. more than happy. Terminator2 is a fricken awesome tuner.

Taylor sent me an updated tune and I just turned the dial to 26ish psi tonight also. Didn't get to try it though sadly. Will on the way to work tomorrow. Still cleaning up my back yard from the 40ft tree that came down in the storm on Saturday and crushed my deck. My back yard looks like a total war zone. Ugh.

We're gonna have to line up sometime Tom
