Edit: I wrote the below after only reading the first page. Didn't know it was a 7 pager. Oh well. Hope you are burnin some rubber.
I love the classic camaro's (I had 2 in the day). We could burn some rubber, jam some gears, and the sound of the engine through the duals was awesome with the cam loping.... But to me, the new camaro's look great and kind of reming me of the real ones but they just are not the same. No great sound rumbling cam, cops lurking everywhere, illegal to burn rubber unless on the track, high consequences for high performance. I know they have awesome performance but you really are not allowed to tap into it. I'd rather spend 20-30 grand on a real 60's and stick it in the garage. Once a year I'd do a burnout then put it away. I love to use things as they were made to be used. At least with the tractor you can do that. I still need to go nuts on high performance machines so I race offroad motorcycles and love every minute of it. May you find your peace.
