I'm looking this place up now. I'm definitely buying something ASAP. Thanks for the dealership. If anyone knows any other places that have zl1 or vette please let me know.

O'Connor Chevy in Henrietta, where I got my Camaro, has new Vettes and several Camaros, I believe including ZL1(s). Plus it's a good place.

**Just checked their website, only shows 1 Vette and no ZL1 right now, but you might want to call them.

Sun Chevrolet has about 60 Camaros in all 3 locations. Burdick Village & East Syr. Chevy have them . Try Wilbur Duck in Oneida.

Ron let me call my guy, he can pull a used Z from any location.

So sad George. Sorry to hear the ol' girl was giving you so many issues. The truth is... they're all junk. Take it from a wrench. Sounds like you just had a bad run. Which should be a good break-in for your new mopar. jk I'm glad the camaro gave us the chance to meet. Happy trails.

LMAO Thanks Will! I'll be checking in from time to time. And you're right. They all break, doesn't matter what model or make it is. I just had really bad luck with mine. I tried to make up for it with lot's of fun mods, which ironically caused NONE of the problems that I had. It was a great run either way. I had fun with it, but it was time to move on.

As to mopar reliability...... my 97 TJ had no issues for the first ten or so years of it's life. In fact, the engine and drivetrain are still solid.... the frame........that's a different story. Doubt I'll be that lucky with my JK but time will tell. Either way I'm loving the new ride. Already have a stack of mods coming in the mail


Thanks again for all the help and advice

[techinny]

You two are absolutely right, I work on the equipment side of motorized stuff, they all break thankfully, otherwise Ironwill and I would be out of jobs.

I think George is setting up for a 6 gen.

Well now that you mention it lol

it's part of my 5 year plan you guys didn't think I was going away forever did you?

I'm going to wait until the middle of the production cycle if I can hold out that long. A big regret I had with my last car, was the cool options that came out towards the middle of the car's life. (1LE package, touchscreen navi, recaros etc.)

Right around when the jeep is paid off the 6th gen should be in full swing. Pretty good chance you'll see me in one.
