Hey All,

I've had my new 2017 1SS M6 Garnet Red Tintcoat Camaro for almost two weeks, but because of shitty weather I have only been able to drive it for about a week. I love it. Only major option is the performance exhaust.

My plan for this car was to buy something that wasn't a project -- I wanted to buy the car I wanted. The only thing I plan to do is the skip shift eliminator. I already have the cable, and I'm going to feel out the dealer service department about installing it when I pick up my plates.

I know all about the debates and I am not trying to incite them, but I am trying to follow the break-in to about 1K. It's hard to keep below 4K for most of my driving, but I've been doing pretty well at it.

I am coming from another car that I consider to be pretty good, and I am *keeping* it. I am coming from a Mazdaspeed 6 2007. Off the top of my head it is factory rated at a mere 285 BHP. I put in a short ram intake, modified the exhaust, and reprogrammed the ECU with a tuning system. Also, colder plugs. I am keeping it because it's a sedan, and it may be cheaper to keep it up for driving in the snow. (It also has up to 50/50 AWD.) No comparison to hitting the gas on the 1SS Oddly, when comparing the two I am surprised by how forgiving the 1SS M6 is compared to the manual in the Mazdaspeed. The clutch on that car is truly unforgiving on/off and specific/trackish. Makes me feel like I can jump into any other stick and make out fine.

Once I get into summer I can contemplate whether I want to make the Mazdaspeed 6 a project and put a bigger turbo on it, more aggressive tunes, etc, but now that I'm in the 1SS I sort of wonder what the point would be. My old car has 108K miles, has been maintained religiously with full synthetic, and I should probably keep it as a backup driver and hope it runs to 250K. It still looks great.

Anyway,

I look forward to getting to know everyone a bit better and learning from all of you.
