I completely understand your addiction!

Question though, where did you get that 455 HP badge under the hood?

Awesome on the car show best of show win! That has to feel great.

Thanks for the link. I'm going to look into that. Hope you don't mind? I don't like to do something someone else did if they were looking to have something unique?

Thanks, I’ve added a pic from after the awards, it was a really fun event.

Not a problem, I just put on a set for my buddy on his 2021 SS vert.
Here a better pic of the emblems on the motor after a good detail job.
I have also updated my oil cap with the mobile 1 logo and went to the 0W-40 oil


Sorry OP for getting off topic!

Ya, those really look nice. It really adds a nice touch.

No worries on getting off topic. I think every thread does that eventually.

Was at Hendrick's in Cary a little while ago and no Panther CEs. Apparently Rick's is going to the dealer in Durham but this is in the showroom. Already sold for $135k. Service guy plaved a video of them starting it up and driving across the lot. Sounds pretty sick.

Yep, anyone who can afford a C8 will pay, anyone who can afford a Hellcat/Demon/TrackHawk will pay.

But if these people don't pay despite the fact they can, it sends a stark message to these dealers.

Honestly I can't afford a $80,000 ZL1 Yes they were under $70,000 just 4 years ago. Now used ZL1's sell for the same price they sold for new 4 years ago.

There is a fine line between inflation and blatant greed. Inflation is just the excuse they use to mask it.

Yep, completely agreed. Plus the car hasn’t changed since 2017 besides the rear bumper, lights and wireless apple carplay. If zl1’s were mid 60’s still I woulda bought one of those instead most likely.

Both true IMO, but I don't think those with the excess capital would line up to buy Camaros, they are more likely to frequent Porsche and BMW dealerships. (Before anyone attacks, I'm just shooting the shit, I have no scientific proof, okay? )

Paying attention to the people in my area with real money and what cars they drive, and then the people with average amounts of money and the vehicles they drive, at least in my area, I whole-heartedly agree. There are occasional outliers of course but generally speaking spot on. Also for whatever reason the more rural you get the more domestic the vehicles get again gotta love gods country

40k is my max for most any car.

Dave Ramsey said it perfect .. step outside your house and look left and right and you'll see a person knee deep in debt trying to be "normal".

[MT-SS1LE]

Credit card debt in this country is at a 10 year high. So are repos. The economy sucks, despite the lies the mainstream media tells. I think we all know the reasons why.

I have spent the last decade restoring and collecting vintage Porsches and have had my fair share of modern Porsche (gt3, 911 GTS) and the Camaro for me is going to be big ole breath of fresh American air!
