New here...First time Camaro owner w/ pics

New here and I just got my first camaro....first chevy ever. I have owned 4 mustangs over the years and I just thought it was time for a change and I always like the camaros.

I traded my 97 Mustang GT for this car, even trade.

Car is a 95 Z28 with 110k miles. Car is crazy clean, almost mint for the year.
has a few bolt ons like SLP catback, K&N CAI, and TB bypass. Built auto with shift kit, drilled/slotted rotors, Z06 wheels, manual fan switch, hotckins STB MSD ignition. Has new water pump, oil pump, optispark, head gaskets, bunch of new suspension parts, car is super tight and handles great.

Great looking car! I always liked that color. Looks like you found one of the rare LT1 Camaros without a tear in the driver's seat bolster.

Welcome. I gotta ask, how does the camaro compare to the mustangs that you've owned as far as power, handling and overall driving enjoyment?

So far the camaro is a far better car in every sense. My 97 GT had a 2004 PI 2v motor in it with full bolt ons, 3.73 gears and a sct tune, this auto Z28 would put at least 2 cars on my mustang with just a catback and intake. The car is very comfy and the handling is far better, much tighter. I had just put new shock, struts, balljoints, and inner tie rods on my mustang and it still felt sloppy. The mustang was fun but it was raw....the camaro is fun but feels much more refined.

Great looking car, very very clean. Good thing you found one that the previous owner(s) have taken care of. Thanks for switching from Mustang, lol
