I like it.

Pretty sure that's the Zeta platform car and not the new Alpha

It doesn't appear that any of the critical go fast components are ebay. They are all pretty legit reputable brands/parts.

The zeta platform z28 had all those things. The alpha platform never got a z28 unfortunately... Yet

Damn, thanks for clarifying - good to know!

Between an Alpha ZL1 and Zeta Z28, is there one that's preferred?

twitchyzero 03-05-2020 08:58 AM

minty (not cheap) buy

Despite all the bling parts on the '15 Z/28, I think the Alpha platform in ZL1 1LE trim would be preferred over the Z/28 on the Zeta platform.

The thing is, you can get a used Zeta platform Z/28 on Autotrader.com in the US for USD$32K-40K all day long (CAD$43K-$53K). There's not a lot of used ZL1 1LE package Camaros for sale right now and a new one will set you back CAD$80K.

A Camaro Z/28 for CAD$45K would be a solid deal. As it turns out, the one posted in the thread is a fake ad, but these can be found on Autotrader in the US and would be an easy car to import.

Nothing about this car should be interesting, yet I am intrigued by it. Literally like driving a time capsule.

tofu1413 03-06-2020 08:38 AM

nostalgia factor.

man the cloth interior in that camry is worlds better than the current one.

fit and finish still superior in these 80s + 90s Japanese cars.

TouringTeg 03-06-2020 09:43 AM

That blue cloth looks really comfy.

The ad is now trending (top 9 ads) probably due to this thread lol

Spectre_Cdn 03-06-2020 10:14 AM

I find the velour seats in my 93 Accord to be vastly more comfortable than the leather seats in my 2013 Lexus. It’s like sitting on a burgundy couch, with twice the amount of foam and half the stiffness.

SkunkWorks 03-06-2020 10:48 AM

To this day my dad's 94 Altima remains the car with the comfiest seats I've ever been in.

oh man. that gen accord my dad had as well. (91' EXR sedan)

the cloth from what i remember was super plush and wooly. was quite warm and nice to sit in .

it looked velour like too. some of the nicest seat materials in a mainstream car.

Not what I would call a smart buy, but so much vehicle for the money

https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rds...069372933.html

‘06 cayenne turbo S. 520hp 4.5L turbo v8. Full dealer service history, two sets of wheels etc. Looks to be a pretty loving owner from the ad. Though same as any other expensive euro SUV it’s only one big malfunction away from the junkyard

Badhobz 03-06-2020 01:39 PM

^thats a friggin steal.

westopher 03-06-2020 03:40 PM

I love it. Wonder what it would cost you after 2-3 years of ownership.

annual service bill = same price as the car.

vitaminG 03-06-2020 04:45 PM

Cayenne turbos are actually the ones to get as they don't have the bore scoring issues of the na v8.

snowfarmer 03-06-2020 04:57 PM

LOL, I was going to post "230km Cayenne Turbo, what could possibly go wrong?"

Then I read the ad and he's done the aluminum coolant pipes and the driveshaft center support mount. That's a couple of the big ones with that car.

That is the kind of wallet torture the automotive masochist in me really likes.

Needs a couple of things but it's damn cheap. IDGAF about its lack of anything remotely sexy. That exhaust sound is enough for me :drunk:

If it didn’t look like dog shit I’d be interested. Slowly ticking the fast fords off of my list lol

donjalapeno 03-06-2020 07:07 PM

^ Sounds even better straight piped but such a disgusting looking car lol


whitev70r 03-06-2020 07:16 PM

2013 VW Golf R, 130K kms, $18,604. At an off brand dealer so depending on your negotiating skills, you might be able to knock another $1K or more off the asking price.
