Hi David, if we are referring to, and I think I can trust you guys, getting my kill switch finally mounted and wired up, good to go, completed this weekend. Otherwise you’ll have to clue me in a bit more.
Snow plow incident?

The fact it's still a Chevy notwithstanding..It will certainly be an awesome acquisition for you..and my guess a more than capable track car...
Thank you. It certainly looks special especially if a guy can go use it at the glorious tracks around here in MN and WI, even if it is for half of the year.

@DavidKFla When the plow operator got me with the snow and ice? That happened years ago.

I know that if I bought one, it would be a lemon just like the majority of GM stuff that I've bought in the past. ☹️☹️☹️
You need to quit thinking like that. I am a former owner of three Pontiac Trans-Am’s, among other GM cars not worth mentioning. I made a big mistake and purchased a 1982. It was pathetic piece of shit with a worthless 305 in it. I was stupid. Had a new job, was still drinking. I sold it, swore to myself I hated how bad GM had got. I went down the motorcycle road, after not purchasing a performance anything for nearly ten years I was so pissed. Finally in ‘06 I bought my first SRT. You guys know the rest of that story. I believe in cars again.

I know many with C7’s of every flavor. I have been running laps at their track days at BIR for six years. I am impressed, like everything else, if all is right, they hold up. I am real impressed with these guys making a real race NO V8 available and put it into something that I consider very similar to my Italian eye as a Lambo or a Ferrari, which I cannot ever afford. But, it looks to me, if some of my brothers who have one of those, or dare I say some of the German high test expensive models better know how to drive their shit if I get my hands on a new Z06.

But, but hold on! A guy will always want to drive home in his Redeye. My Redeye is flat the best road car I have ever owned.

I had to Lemon Law a GM car as recently as 2017 on a 2016. We've had bad experiences with GM stuff since the 80's and 1 other Lemon Law buyback.

Not buying an auction car. Got a private owner in mind. He has an eye popping collection of Mopars.

Triple black RT/SE...man...oh man...speechless..:cry::cry:
That’s exactly what we want. Some will not like it but, with 5 back operations, automatic is the only way to go.

Yeah, the TRX is a good choice, but they don't make the Trackhawk anymore.
😂 well as nice as that would be that’s too rich for me.

Probably the final edition Hellcat or S/S

Or if I can't get one, just a regular S/S and the DC goodies.

Wouldn't mind a new TRX either but im sure the wife will want a new car as well.

The C8 problem remains like Ford's Bronco = good luck getting one.

Fuck all the markups and some dealers stopped taking orders on both cars. If you want one this year, you are paying over for an order.
I'll stick with MOPARs, at least they are trying to sell you a car instead of robbing you.

After all the new V8s are gone, i'll look for hot rod projects.

I'll be one of the last to go EV.
