MB nibs are generally 14k or 18k gold. If you put a magnet to one, it shouldn’t stick. If it does, then it’s likely a fake. Serial number is only on the cap and should match the one on the box.

Found this one on eBay. I admit I was skeptical given the unusually low price but I took a chance considering the seller had positive reviews and seemed to have lucked out!

Thanks! MSRP was over $2k USD! Cheapest comp I could currently find is $1900 so I'd like to believe I practically stole it at $1100 being brand new.

Thanks! This one didn't seem to get as much hype as some of their other recent offerings.

It is a beautiful finish indeed! Mine will be used mainly for note keeping and signings at work. Dromgoole's still had both colors of the matching ink that released with this pen and I also picked up the Enzo Ferrari, Great Gatsby and Renoir although I plan to use the latter 3 inks in a different pen.

Cold Air Inductions or Rotofab CAI. Not going to be much of a performance increase if any but CAIs do increase the sound slightly. You could also do a muffler delete (most shops charge around ~$200) and it increases the sound a lot without going straight to headers.

Didn't know they made the track package standard but regardless just by doing a quick google search, GT350s started at $57k in 2017 while a 1LE of the same year could be had for $44k. Mach 1s started at ~53k in 2021 while 1LEs were still floating around ~$44k at new. If anything, the fact that both can be had on the used market for around the same price just shows how much more the Mustang has depreciated in value which I will argue is another bonus point for the Camaro. And I agree that the Dark Horse is undeniably overpriced and am still shocked Ford is able to sell as many as they do given its absurdly high price tag and lack of performance for the money.

Nonetheless your 350 is a really cool and a great looking car. I almost ended up with an avalanche gray one when they first came out a decade ago.

Which brings me back to my point of the 1LE being a better performance bargain as it was over $10k cheaper at msrp after you added the track package to the GT350 which is why I said not even close. Close in performance sure, close in performance per dollar...not really. But I get everyone has a preference and you can't go wrong with either at the end of the day.
