I know `Mike, & I was happy to find that vid to prove it...
It sure sounded Super & I really loved the vid 4-Sure...I've watched it many times already

I love this competition between the two & I'm sure it will continue...I'd love to own one & enjoy the adrenaline pumps , but the prices are way out of my budget
Other priorities at present prevents me from this monster power fun....But, I'm still dream'in & maybe, just maybe my dreams will come true `if I keep working on them..

Thanks for your posts & comments

***Member's `if you missed the vid, I shall re-post so that you can enjoy it `2...It's worth it 4-Sure

Thanks `Mike for your post & pictures..
Do you think those Big Rims/Tires makes that Camaro handle better & perfrom better, or do you think they hurt the performance/handling ?

Are they a increase for Power & Handling or are they just for looks ? They fit nice & make the Camaro different from the rest of the Camaro's I've seen...

That's what's great about cars (?), the owner's can do anything they want to them to make them different then the rest (if you have the Big $'s)....What do you think those rim's & tires cost ?

Thanks for your posts & adding to the activity on the MCF

LoL `Mike, I thought it would hurt the performance & handling 4-Sure....I guess a new look was more important to the owner... I know I wouldn't do it to my ZL`1, but it's not mine...
============================================
No, they want to much & the sale manager that was driving it just couldn't handle the POWER of the Z
