Congrats!

Sorry for the double posts haha. Super excited for this project. Can't wait to get the ball rolling on it! First step is to clean it up and fix the tiny imperfections that annoy me.

Split the difference; find a nice 2003-04 Vette for a few bucks more than the 98 and way less than the Camaro.

Too late, I jumped the gun and bought the 98. With the money I saved I can fix the tiny imperfections and mod it tastefully.

Congrats, looks like u got urself a nice ride! I think we all get to the point where we have to make these cars "perfect" in our own eyes. Any mods done to the engine?

I have 98 A4 as well, 109K miles. I love it!

Thanks! No mods that I am aware of other than a catback exhaust. Sounds pretty good, but I'm not sure what brand it is.

I will, but it may be a few days. My wife is currently in labor and we are at the hospital awaiting on our baby girl. Best weekend of my life so far!

I have owned every gen of Camaro's from 1-5 and no matter what there is no comparison in the "feel" of the two platforms.

I like the stripes and I'm not usually a big fan of stripes. Reminds me of a C5R.

Congratulations on both.
