Default Back in the game!

Ok forum members, I'm officially back in the game! Just drove home a 2012 Grand Sport 3LT silver, yes I know I will post up pic's but I literally just got home & put it into winter storage with 11 miles on it. Has chrome wheels with glass top. Actually had a deposit down on a 2012 ZL1 Camaro & changed my mind! So now it will really be a long winter.

The single biggest hang up with the ZL1 was weight of that car & I had a 2010 RS SS & didn't care for it. Both cars are for my wife & she originally wanted another camaro so I convinced her to look at vettes.

Winter storage? Sounds like a perfect time to throw in a cam and headers.

Congrats.

I'm looking myself. Torn on cyber gray, inferno orange and of course blade silver....

Wouldn't mind the carbon metallic... but I don't think I can justify the premiums. Now, to convince the Wife Unit that this is in our best interests....
