Default Back in a Camaro!
Just picked this up today. I recently sold my turbo '04 Lightning and was looking for my next project. I've always loved Camaros. My first car was an '81 Z28 and one of my favorite cars was my '95 Z28 (396, spray, etc). I went out looking and it was love at first sight with this car. It's such a far cry from the LT1/LS1 cars I had. Very comfortable and very smooth. I can't wait to dig into this thing! Some crappy cell phone pics after driving through that pouring rain today:

Hey Scott!!!

Congrats on getting the new ride! I guess you just couldn't bring yourself to get that C6 Z, huh? You had to go back to your old roots!

I still can't believe you got rid of the L. Oh well, it was time for the next project.

I don't think I'll go with a roots/twin screw this time around.
