Welcome to the club!

I never thought I'd get an American product again either, but they did a great job with this one. Using the Alpha platform for the Camaro was a great call.

Finally GM admitted that the LT4's were having issues. They revised the cooling and I haven't read anything much about overheating issues like before.

I also haven't read anything about the ZL1 having any issues. Well, major issues like overheating or A10 transmission problems.

The heat issues were fixed in the ZL1. Idk if they've been fully addressed in the Z06 or not.

Agreed, this one is undeniably good.

I assume you are the same Dethsupp0rt from Camaro6

My detailer just got one. With the auto as well. Haven't seen it yet but I'm going to ask him to bring it over and take me for a ride... or maybe ask to drive it.

Yes sir. Hoping the next M3 is a big step up, so I'm sticking around.

beware, a drive may cause giddyness, stupid grins, and a purchase

yeah, BMW is going to have to get back to the roots of M to get me into another M3/4, i was a bit excited about the M2, but imo, they went a little M-lite and compromised things a bit to much for my taste (understandably so, for marketing purposes anyway)

if I can find prolonged happiness and entertainment with low maintenance costs...we shall see
