    New guy from Mid-Michigan

    Ok... my long winded story... To be 100% truthful.. I actually was thinking 2011 Mustang with the new power train... was hoping Ford would do the 350 Ecoboost V6... but alas they are going with the 270HP 3.7... I also was struggling with the ugly rear end of the 2010 Stang... I had a 2005 Mustang and loved it.... So not really caring for the looks of the 2010... disappointed with 2011...

    So I had been thinking maybe the new Camaro (owned like an 80 firebird and 89 camaro). Thing is I seen all the picture and just didn't care for the looks... Despite that I went and looked at one in person... WOW!!! I was shocked how much better it looked in person!!! The dealership had 1 for sale, an 2LT RS. So we worked things out... traded my Hummer H3 for the beautiful Victory Red Camaro!!!!

    I've got 5,000 miles on the car... have a ton of passes at the track, 2 hours on the road course and even had her on the dyno... Very happy and impressed with the car!

    Here's a couple of snapshots:

        Thanks guys!

        Dyno:




        and for fun my 100% stock V6 auto vs a 100% stock 2005 V6 Mustang auto. Notice how the Mustang HP and TQ drop off while the LLT just keeps PULLING!





        Best time to date: (DA was about 1600 or so...) Oh, don't worry about the trap speed. Lapeer has trouble with my car for some reason... car is trapping 94 to 95..




        and finally coupl of videos.

        and finally, I let my friend Jim make a pass in my car against our friend Scott in his Mustang Shelby GT (Not a GT500) (also this was before I had the stripes put on... picked the car up Wednesday and was at the track on Sunday!!! LOL)
