If there ever was a unique and tasteful exterior remake, this is it. Fantastic job, congrats on your 1 of 1 Camaro

On another note, I added 1500 miles to the odo on a roadtrip. The car ran like a champ throughout and achieved 26 mpg on the "quieter" segments. No mpg comment about the "rompy" ones, heh (probably 4-5 mpg, if that).

If you want to get around a curvy track the quickest then I bet it is hard to beat the corvette.

Couldn’t agree more. In fact, throttle house put a SS 1LE up against a grandsport on a track with a professional driver. Both were very close in time but the driver said the grandsport was easier to drive.

Having had 4 Camaros and 2 Vettes I enjoy both.

Today I ditched the run flats. Put wider SS rims out back and Indy 500’s all around. Soooo much better.

I’ve had the car 2 weeks and could not tolerate them any longer! That’s saying a lot for me as I hate replacing anything that’s new. I am really liking the Indy 500’s so far. Very comparable to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s that were on my C7.

My 21 Camaro is the first rear wheel drive car I've had in 20 years.I guess that helped me keep factory tires on till worn out,28 k miles. I was not expecting the car to be so much better with non run flat summers, what a nice surprise. I was in love again.

Installed a sequential style 3rd brake light by Seequenced onto my Anderson Composite carbon fiber trunk. The light has 2 modes.. braking mode, which does a swell style effect, and a show mode (via flipping a switch I installed under the trunk) that does an "inverted" knight rider effect... lol. Pretty fun

Left it in the garage which I hate doing. Thought it was going to be shitty weather today so took my beater to work.

Have to plan a trip to MA this summer at some point, nice long cruise and pray the oil pump doesn't stab me in the back on the trip lol
