Regardless, glad you're enjoying your ride - that's what it is all about!

ive only got less than 1500 on mine and ive had it for 5 months now. im not gonna break mine in til late next year!

I don't know how you've managed to only put 1500miles on in 5months. I probably would have done it in 3weeks. I'd be driving it everywhere...even when i had no where to go

I did not say it was not getting faster I said that the motor was broke in at 50 miles ... I would hope that it is getting faster all the 2010s that I have driven have been what you would call unimpressive to say the least.. a 13.0 ET is that same number that stock Z28/SS 4th gen cars produced for far less $$$ ten years ago.

The Camaro has matured...so have I since my 94....maybe the 1/4 mile times are not earth shatering...who cares..the car is fast...plenty fast and it is such a better car than my 94 was....of course its more cash....loaded 3 series with a 300hp 6 cylinder is close to 60K in canada....yes the camaro has jumped in price....big surprise...still the best value, most beautiful sports car of the year.
