A short Narrative.
 

Most of you have seen my threads by now. I've got the Alignment sticky, the Track Prep sticky, the Lug Nuts sticky... ya know the nit-picky stuff.
- Yes, the images are large. Moving on...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2011 I purchased a new 370z :happydance:

I bought summer tires :tup:

I bought winter tires :tup:

I bought track brakes

I had about 20 track days on this 370z. :driving:
I learned how to drive RWD because of this car.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In March of 2018 a 23 year old girl t-boned the Z while i was traveling approximately 35mph. The impact was just behind the front wheel... crumpling the firewall, a-pillar, and frame mounting point. After the repair estimate came back at $9,500 it was considered a total loss.

I DROVE IT HOME FROM THE ACCIDENT :eek:
- At which point it was picked up from my driveway on a flatbed and brought to CoPart.
- I bet it doesn't drive straight now :shakes head:

Not to end on a sad-note, so i shall introduce the 370z's replacement...

Meet the 2018 SS 1LE
https://image.ibb.co/dyrFzJ/20180305_125717.jpg

From near as i can tell by the power and sound... the Camaro SS is powered by a dragon. :bowrofl: For those of you who don't know, 1LE package = Chevy's "track package" including:

• adjustable shocks
• adjustable traction control
• 2-piece rotors
• black hood
• black wheels
• black mirrors
• black spoiler
• brake ducts
• trans oil and diff coolers

I never pictured myself with this car, but nor did i picture having my loved Z ripped from my arms. So making lemonade.

Cheers
:tiphat:

No, there's no partout.

:wtf2:

Sad to see what happened to your beautiful Z and glad you're ok. But I love your new ride!!! Congrats!

:iagree:

So sorry to hear about the Z :(

I bet you will be happy with the Camaro. It is a beast. I know a couple of people who are absolutely not Chevy people at all that ended up in a performance-oriented Camaro package and were blown away by the car overall. Plenty of things to nitpick, but the sum of what you get is pretty amazing :driving:

I really like my wife's Corvette Grand Sport. Drives just like a Z.

Glad to hear you seem to be ok after that hit.

Sad to hear you didn't get another Z, but at least you maintained the limited visibility ;)

Enjoy your new ride!

Sucks for the Z, but congrats on that 1LE beast!

Bad and good news (especially the end result).

Probably drives different, but still cool I bet. You have those 2 extra cylinders. I think some of us secretly think about wanting that on some drives.

Great looking Camaro... Enjoy that thing it is nice...

Enjoy your new ride.

Did you test drive a mustang? just wonder why camaro

I could see myself in a new Camaro and even a Mustang for that matter. They are both nice looking, with a lot of "bang for the buck" as far as performance and handling.

Nice looking ride BTW...

my wife was debating Camaro or mustang. she liked both but the mustang had a bit better visibility and we happened upon a great deal- 2016 gt 5.0 with performance package, loaded, 435 hp, only 1600 miles. after 6 months she loves it.

:eek:

Osbornsm, Sorry to hear about the Z. First off glad you are OK! Second, cars will come and go!! Enjoy the New Ride, and remember the Z with a smile!! :tup:

good luck and enjoy the new toy.....

Sorry to hear about your Z getting in accident at least you are ok knock on wood. I know a lot about your 2018 Camaro SS you purchased the best of luck with it I hope you got the extended warranty after the 3 years / 36K mile warranty you will need it.

Can I be your wife.

I need a Stingray in my Garage, and it seems like your the providing type

Why does I need? Besides the obvious?

Not sure what issues plague 6 gen Camaro.

Have been wondering what happened to you and sorry for your misfortune. You are going to love the 1le my track partner has one an added headers and a cam and the sound that car makes is off the hook and it is a awesome track car. Enjoy and continue to post up on your track exploits.

Sorry to hear about what happen with your Z bro... but you are ok and that is what matter.

Now congrats on your new beautiful Camaro! looks freaking great man :drool:

Enjoy it! :driving:

Enjoying it as much as (legally) possible.
...although I did see a white 370z today, damn it's gorgeous.

:iagree:

Also just realized... I have 6.2 L and you still have 200 hp more than me. :gtfo2:

:rofl2:

LMAO...yep there is also another guy that we track with that has a 1le and I love giving the two of them crap...because I am faster than them. I guess you should have got the ZL1 1le! :p:stirthepot:

you'll be back. they always do. good luck in the meantime.

Nice congrats. To bad about the Z.
