The WhiskeyFed Camaro

So since I have recently decided that this will be my baby until death do us part. I figured that starting a build thread would be a good idea, and also fun! Here it goes...

Phase 1: Picked her up from Maritime Chevy in Fairfield, CT on October 8, 2016. My 2017 1LT 2.0 Camaro
- Technology Package
- Bose Premium Sound Package
- 8 in Touch Screen Option
- Base model options everywhere else

Test drove the Camaro once and I was absolutely blown away. The interior is leaps and bounds better than any other comparable car I was considering (Mustang, Challenger, Charger, Focus ST, even the BMWs i was looking at).

Went home and all I could think about was "man, that was it, that is everything I want and I can actually AFFORD it." I looked around for other dealerships that had the 2.0 in black with an A8 TM and there were NONE! Like none... So (as far as i was concerned) I would have the first 1LT 2.0 Black Camaro in CT. Went back about 3 days later, with a down payment in my hand, took it for a ride one more time and that was that. She was mine!

Had them fix some scuffs and paint chips, etc. and went to pick it up the following Monday.

Traded in my 2001 BMW 325xi (boy did I have a lot of memories in that car). This car's dash was lit up like a Christmas tree at the Griswold household, but they gave me more than I had hoped, so I let her go.

Aspirations
I want to outright, be quicker, faster and more agile than the stock 6th Gen V8.
Find and push the performance and handling limits.
Enjoy the ever loving #%*! out of this car.
