Am I going To Regret This? Hey guys just traded in my modded 98 Z28 Camaro, absolutely in love with it still and love the raw straight line power. I love messing around with it on weekends, painting stuff on it, polishing the calipers and cleaning up the engine bay. I traded my car in and bought a 2006 C6 Z06 loaded with nav. Will i have any regret doing this? i donno im going through buyers remorse right now and absoltely love my camaro, fooling with the open cutout, it was my first car and my first set of mods ive ever done to a car. Im going to miss it very very much and almost wish i could keep it but now im getting this. I hope i have as much fun with the mods and messing around with things the way i did with my camaro. It was either keep the Z28 and go full forged longblock with F1A procharger, built rearend, T56 swap and so on, What do you guys think?

The z06 is so much nicer in every way than the camaro. I love my camaro but if I had the money to drop on a z06 I would let it go in a heartbeat. I know people have a feeling of attachment to a car they worked so hard on but give it a month and Im sure you will feel the same way about the vette

clean the sand out of your pants Canadian
. Dude, congrats. I could only imagine how you feel. Its tough letting something go when only when you could describe what it meant. Im sure it will take time.
Is there anyway that you could buy it back in the future, or is it really gone? Im sure the raw power of that LS7 will take away any pain.
Ok now lets see the pics.

Start modding the Z06! Make it even more bad *** than it already comes.. Thats pretty much the only advise I can give you to make your "recovery time" go by quicker.

i'll give it one month, then i will ask you which is better; pretty confident you will say zo6. besides, with used car prices the way they are now, you could probally score a better camaro for less than you paid for the other one...

Brother had a 2002 Grand Am Gt that he built a custom turbo kit on, made 362ftlbs/322whp, and it ran 12's. He sold it for a lot less than he put into it and we had a lotta work in it. But he got an 01 z06 and he couldn't be happier now!
