Ok guys I can not make up my mind & looking for some help. I currently have a 2011 Camaro low miles, great shape, built 418 & built 4l80e. I had a single turbo on it making decent power but like all I wanted more so I sold my single set up to do twins & E85 then the C7 was released & I put the whole project on hold & bought a C7 in October. I love my C7 & have been saving to finish the Camaro, so now I have the $ to buy the parts & finish the Camaro but now they just released the Z06 & I fell in love all over again. So my question is what would you do keep the C7 finish the Camaro or sell the Camaro & C7 & buy the new Z06? Open for ideas?

If its the Z you want then I would sell the C7 and buy the Z. There's no reason to have two C7s IMO.

If your not happy with a single turbo camaro your not going to happy with a z06 version on your C7. If its sell both to get the Z then I would keep the camaro and beat it and keep the C7 nice as a civil daily driver. The z seems to start off reasonable but add the options and it climbs quick.

Thanks guys for the help! I really thought about it today & I'm keeping the Camaro as a track car as planned & I'm going to wait a year or so to sell the C7 for the z06 for a DD instead of jumping right into a brand new car again. That will give me a year for the hype to die down & save up some funds.
