First post was 1/25/05 after reading the Motor Trend comparo between the SRT-8, GTO and CTS-V. At the time I was in the process of negotiating the purchase of a modified '03 Z06. I knew about the SRT-8 since August of '04 but didn't think it would be a reality anytime soon. It was a chance trip to the magazine isle in the supermarket where I saw the Motor Trend cover. It was over for the Z06 and hello SRT-8 from that moment.

Ordered on 2/1/05. Placed a second order with a different dealership on 2/6 I believe, because after obsessing over allocation for a few days it was apparent that the first dealership would not be getting allocation anytime soon. Had to cancel both orders in March because of some rocky situations at work. Sad sad day.

Here we are in January '06, work is good, not satisfied with not owning an SRT-8, so I put dibs on one inbound to the dealership I placed my second order with in '05. 5 days later I was driving the car. Loving every minute of it.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
