Geeze... I leave for a few days to do my first Carlisle ever and come back to this... I can't leave you Babies alone for a second....
"where it spanked the #3 ZLI GMMG yellow camaro while shifting at just 5500 RPM so it wouldn`t embarass the owner too bad after he spent $60,000-$80,000 on that joke of a overpriced car.".....Mark...I like your Car but I do take that statement as an Insult. It does not come across as good natured Ribbing. I believe you really don't like the new ZL1's. You believe that they are just a attempt to cash in... You apparently don't know Matt Murphy. Matt is a Die Hard Muscle car Historian.. Matt probably knows more about 67 Pace cars than anybody out there. Matt builds them because he wants to build really Cool stuff that ties into the past. His attention to Detail is amazing. I won't go on about Matt because it would take too long. As for the poor performance of my car you should probably look to the driver. I assume the base ZL1 will run about like a ZO6 Vette. Remember that you raced the Base ZL1... That is the only way they can be sold new with a Warranty and Emissions. The car is now a Phase 3 600hp version and you could still probably beat it if I am the Driver. I'm the Guy that runs
12.15@120 in my 67 Camaro..Think maybe a better driver could beat you in my Car with that 120mph ? Can we put you up against oh maybe Ken Barnhart in his ?
Overpriced ? I guess it depends on how you look at it. I feel very fortunate to be able to afford some of this stuff and I realize many others can't. The price on my 60-80K Car ended up at about 93K. If you compare it to a New 493hp Mercedes or BMW or other Exotic it seems more in line and will probably hold its value better. In any case I would rather be driving a 600 hp Camaro that has a Factory type appearance than a german car. I like the German Cars also but the Camaro was my choice. Why would anybody pay 100K for a Old Musclecar when you can bolt a few parts on a new Camaro and spank the old one and run the AC ? What will todays Kids but collecting in 15 years ? I kinda think they will think the GMMG built stuff is pretty Cool. I know the New ZL1's draw just as big of a crowd as the COPOS as was evidenced at Carlisle this Weekend.
There is room for all of us here but I would appreciate it if you didn't bash my Car in an attempt to sell yours.
And you Guys all Suck.... Don't make me bring out the Dogs.. And wait till you see what Murphy and Barker are up to now. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]
