OK, JUst bought a new Vette, well, new to me! 98 Vert with 65k. I'm in Cleveland and plan on just driving it and keeping it KLEEN!!!! I previously had a 94 Z28 but hit some ice and got totaled... 
Anywho, I had a lot of work and money into the Camaro and am pleased to see that I probably would've spent much more money than the cost of the Vette to get the Camaro up to par with what I have now! I love it and have already used this forum to get some assistance with little issues.
OK so I might get an intake and exhaust, but that's it lolol. Can't help it!
Can't figure out how to post pics, I was on z28.com and their forum was a little different, otherwise I'll post ASAP! See ya 'round!
