Well, when I sold my last camaro (2nd one I've owned) I told myself I'd never get another one. A year and a half later and I'm tired of driving boring ass daily drivers. Some of the most fun I've had was driving a camaro in midwest winters. The only issue with my last one that some are familiar with was it was too pristine. I was scared to beat on it and have fun because of the mileage and money I had into it.
I've been looking around and most people want a premium for lsx cars. I went and looked at probably 20 before this one. Got there immediately noticed the paint was shot, even with 80k miles not worth anywhere near what he wanted. Didn't even test drive it, got in my car and left. Next day he texted me saying he is open to offers if I change my mind. I shot him a lowball offer and to my surprise he said bring cash today and you can have it.
And that is where I'm at now. Decided to start this thread because if I didn't I know I would not keep any progress on it. This was all thanks to my 2003 Mini Cooper S, after breaking down for the 5th time in 8 months I said fuck this car.
A few shots of my previous camaro and its stages
And the new one, these pictures make it look way better than it is
Plans so far are:
Fix paint issues (wrap or paint)
Window tint
Full exhaust (longtubes, y pipe, exhaust)
Dyno tune
Intake/LS6 manifold
Some form of coilovers (wasn't a huge fan of air, looked like dookie and rode like shit most of the time driving around not at slammed level)
Some sort of custom wheels after this winter, not sure yet.. still kinda pissed I didnt finish the last ones I built.
That is it for now I think..Oh and of course a turbo setup next fall.
