Another "newbie" here but not really :)

Since I finally joined the ZL1 club last week I thought I'd say hi. I've been lurking for a while doing research and such while preparing to purchase.

I'm actually an old-hat at this forum stuff. Began at Thirdgen.org and then CamaroZ28.com in the late 90s. I actually created LS1LT1.com in 2006 before selling it. I also started 5thgen.org which I think sold, which then became ModernCamaro.com and as I understand it Camaro6 is an offshoot of that. So kind of fitting I'd end up here I think.

Anyway, that doesn't make me important or anything, but just a Camaro/F-body guy from way back, and after 13 years out of the game here's my 2018 Red Hot A10 with 3,200 miles:

Honestly I'm not planning any power mods. I've done the whole mods/race thing and I'm old enough now I just want to enjoy the car and not be on my back in a hot or cold garage busting my knuckles anymore. I don't have a problem with all that at all, I'm just at a different point in life.

The plan is to keep this car for a long time. My kids are almost as car crazy and I am so this is a good chance to create memories with them too. The wife actually encouraged this purchase if you can believe that.

But we'll see. There are a few little cosmetic goodies I'm liking, such as the smoked out rear reflectors, maybe some kind of protection for the splitter like the ZL1addons extension.

Having said all that, this weekend I did Iron-X/clay/Ceramic the car top to bottom.

The two thirdgen Camaros I had were red, including the one I dated my wife in and the one I had when we got married. So I actually waited until I found a red one.

I think it’s funny people use the word “bone stock”, me included to describe the ZL1 at 650hp. Who would have thunk it. !!!!!

Holy hell! I was on thirdgen.org message boards back in the day with my 89' Formula 350 WS6...small world. I think I spent most of my time on LS1Tech with my 00' Firehawk, hard to remember. Congrats on the purchase!
