I have 200 miles on it so give me another week and I'll give you my full impression, with that being said, it is all it's cracked up to be so far.

Frankly, I am pissed that this dude not only got a GT500 first but now is one of the first to get a C8. I don't have any problem with people who are rich or have rich parents or were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. Doesn't bother me one bit. WHat does bother me is when someone gets preferential treatment over the rest of us who are spending the same money and who in many cases put down huge-ass deposits for a C8 and putting our orders in while this silly boy was buying a GT500. That put a bad taste in my mouth. But it was ok because I figured I would still get a 2020. Now with this whole virus thing I am definitely not getting a 2020 MY and I probably won't get ANY C8 in 2020 at all unless I happen upon one at a dealership and buy it. If GM hadn't been busy playing favorites to fake stars and if they had given those of us who work hard for our money a fair shake then maybe I could have gotten mine. But no. So basically I just gave GM an interest free loan for a year and a half based on when I might get mine.

And I hate to bash GM. Everyone knows I'm a Camaro fanboy. But this is the kind of stuff that turns fans away. It was poor judgement. Because now I'm looking at things and my order just might get cancelled for something else...maybe a M5. Anyway, sorry to rain on the parade.

BTW you guys might not hear from me for a while as I will be taking an assignment in NY to help out with the crisis. They need Healthcare workers like crazy and I decided to sign up for an 8 week assignment. If you don't hear from me then that is why. I'll try to keep popping in and out but I do not know if I'll get a chance to post. I'll see you guys soon tho.

Be safe... very safe.

Thanks man. It is dangerous out there and it will be a challenge. But every little bit helps these days.

I'm gonna try. Things are getting worse on a daily basis. And now we've got more and more healthcare workers starting to get sick. And the worst is yet to come. So I've got my work cut out for me. All I can do is my best to stay safe and help as many people as possible.

Let's just say I might treat myself to a McLaren 765lt when this is all said and done, lol!!

6 12s a week is a bit much for that money right now. A lot of places are offering around the same money but for only 48 hours each week. But it could be night shift, evening shift, day shift, weekends, whatever. And they can send you to different facilities. The thing right now is that with all the isolation going on and since I am working directly with Covid19 patients I can't go visit my GF or friends or family anyway. Most of us HCPs are staying away from our families and friends and general public so that we don't accidentally spread what we might have on our clothes, shoes, in our hair, etc. So I might as well go make a ton of money since I'm isolated and am risking my health anyway. Plus the experience and connections I'll be able to make will be priceless.

This is what happens when the GT500 races a car that has similar HP. Take away a 100+ HP advantage and the Mustang just can't win.

You dirty dog! I can't wait to see it run. Very cool, matching superquick Chevys. You gonna go all out race on this one?

[NW-99SS]

Good video Blaq - looks like the GT500 was keen on taking the hit except the 4th run.

Again, stay healthy and thanks again for helping so many sick people - a huge sacrifice on your part. Can't take money with us when we go, so be careful.

Was not a fan of the stock wheels until I saw these aluminium trident wheels. By far the best option wheels imo.
