I’m looking into a place to pull the transmission for me and ship to Tick. Plan is to rent a trailer and tow it with the Rango. Tick told me about a place up near Statesville so fingers crossed. I used to be capable of doing all of this myself but between health and work I just can’t anymore. Will be good to have the Camaro back up with a fresh T56 though, it’s been 3 years already since it started getting stuck in gear and I said F it.

Health, work, and time. As I get older, there are fewer things I want to tackle myself. Good plan to get it freshened up!

amen to that and thanks. So torn.. the DDHC has me spoiled with all the fancy stuff (heated/cooled seats and wireless CarPlay for example). It will be different driving the Camaro again.

DDHC is on the X164 MB GL chassis, so it's a solid unit. Camaro is an entirely different universe for driving experience lol!

I really do miss the Camaros rawness and even the “if I smash the pedal will I hit the curb” game. I’m planning on a real cam upgrade later on if I keep it around.

I picked up another fun car, it's a 04 cl55 amg, they have 493 hp, but weigh 4300 pounds. I read they dyno between 400-420. I'm thinking about modding it to around 500 rwhp, it's supposed to run mid 12's, think 80-90 more hp would have it to a mid 11?

AMG makes a great German hotrod. Maintenance is key for Germans, so hopefully it has some records. Otherwise solid unit, enjoy!

I got to drive an E43 AMG recently…. I don’t think it was as potent as yours but it felt pretty good.

If the right spec CTS Vagon never comes my way, an E63 Wagon will. One way or another, the kids are getting a Griswold mobile!

Those are my favorite too. I'd love to have a m6 vagon.

But anymore soccer mom awd SUVs are tough to beat on the street. These new electric cars just dominate. They're really making ice cars look like dinosaurs.

What have I missed? Been MIA awhile busy with family stuff and few other things. Camaro has been sold, new owner already has is stripped, caged, 9 inched, and big cube LSX on the way for it. Picking up a 99 FRC M6 vette on Monday.

I could care less if an M6 Vagon or E63 is the slowest wagon in 5 years - the experience is 10 x better.

Camaro is almost ready for Sick Week, just some fine tuning at this point.

Got it home, 19 hours on the road over two days. Thieves broke the back window out of my truck while I was in St Louis so that was nice.

Congrats on the new ride! the window part sucks though. Been to STL a few times and thankfully never had anything bad happen. 😞

Worst part is they are seriously talking about snow here later this week. So my 4wd is sitting in the shop waiting on a backorder and they have no loaners. If it snows my *** is staying home lol.

Got a GoPro for my birthday… have no idea what I’m doing yet and need an external mic to get better exhaust noises but I had fun either way.
