    Well folks, looks like a sad day has come and I will doing a full fluid change and be getting a listing/ad prepared for an upcoming sale :-(. Fun and fast dont come close to capturing the essense of piloting this thing but lufe changes (and my brother's C7 Grand Sport becoming available) dictate a change of direction.

    Will put an ad in the FS section once shes been prepped. Let me know if anyhow hears of someone wanting an ugly ass rocketship of an e36 that is 100% ready to drive tomorrow on track.

    Only forced by the good price my brother is setting me up with a C7GS!

    Nvm, C7 fell through, dealer offered him 12k above what he paid 4 years ago so the beast is staying where she belongs.

    Will update this thread over the winter with the ongoing tinkering. Some things planned for sure to get her ready.

    Changes spark plugs, doing some tinkering with track prep when some big stuff came my way.

    2018 Camaro ZL1 hitting my driveway tomorrow. Already have wheels/tires/pads/rotors and fluids inbound.

    The War Machine's for sale thread to follow soon. Track ready if anyone has a friend looking for a rocket clad in dented armor with some serious upgrades :-). Send them my way!

    Well, good luck! The camaro platorm is amazing (consumable cost aside)!
    When it's up, I'll send your for-sale link to a few friends.

    She's in the driveway! Definitely need to source a stock muffler for NCM..... Haven't made it past 2/3 throttle yet, going to take some courage to work up to speed at the next DE :-).

    Turns out it is NOT a 1LE, just a body kit on a stock ZL1. Thought they may have removed the hood wrap (since it was advertised as a 1LE), but no such luck. My local dealer had some good news, certified pre-owned so powertrain warranty is still active until 4/2025. Plenty of time to shake down the powertrain before having to go on my own atleast. Only reason I pulled the trigger after the snakey move on the mis-print ad.

    Nice choice!
    I was torn between a ZL1 1LE and a vette. I ended going with a 17 Grand sport after driving both 1LE Camaro's and both (GS and Z06) Vettes on track.
    They're all great cars. Still keeping the E36 though.
    I did notice you sniffin around the corvette forums.

    Very familiar with the c7 GS on track. Amazing cars, almost bought my brother's but couldn't justify the 10k premium his dealer offered him.
