Go to our local cars & coffee every Saturday. The car gets way more attention than the SS's around, surprises me buy I wasn't looking to impress just something to fool around with on the week end.

One month old and I have 260 miles on it already. haha.

My 2017 C7 ZO6/ZO7 I keep at my house in Florida only has 4400 miles on it.

Really need to drive my cars more. My 2019 Colorado is mt DD with almost 35K on it now.

Interesting you live in Vegas and Pasco County? Don't see too many Nevada people in FL.


I live in Punta Gorda but have family in Land O Lakes area. There is no way I could drive stick up there with all that heavy traffic on 54 or 41. Wouldn't be a fun experience for me unless you take it further out in Pasco County or north of there. Even around here it's not fun driving the Camaro on 41 during season. Luckily my area by the airport there are some roads I can whip it loose.


Unless i lived in rural Florida there is no way I'd own a stick as a daily driver.

What is the deal with all the growth up there? And the houses I see going up are not cheap. Like 350k on up. I do notice a lot more retirees are moving to Pasco County in recent years. Makes sense as some of them want to live in a major metro area, especially if they're from Boston, NYC or NJ.


That's why I don't want to live up there even though there is more stuff to do for a guy my age (37) and more single women in the Tampa metro area.


Dating for anyone under 55 sucks in southwest FL where it's the oldest median age in the state.

I feel lucky to have found a LT1 without the extras that push the price back up into SS territory.

Interesting point. I always thought dealers were provided cars from the manufacturer but it seems like the Camaro's get ordered. My Wild Cherry was allegedly ordered by the dealer principal.

Nope, I believe many of the new vehicles are ordered by the dealer. It's not uncommon for them to order a vehicle for a specific client or two, in hopes that they will make a purchase either... even if he/she did not technically order the vehicle.

That's how Port Charlotte is on 41. Heavy traffic on top of it, even in the off season.

Rick Hendrick Chevy in Charleston Sc has a pretty rare spec. 21 Black 6 speed with NPP and Recaros! LT1s have proven popular and the reason for them ordering it with Recaros was to get the price and profit up. Sorry for not providing a link. This dealership is hard to do business with because they have a lot of add on like $400 window tint and $300 nitrogen.

Isn't that why one owns a stick is to shift? What's so hard about driving in traffic?

Well if you like rowing thru the gears dear have at it. My car is a DD and i sure as hell don't want a stick. Also got tired of getting in and out a Vette the last few years everyday.
