Converted Mustang Guy
 
In 1967 my older brother bought a 1967 camaro RS/SS it was bright yellow with a black stripe around the front...bucket seats and a 4 speed, he came over to show my mom and then took me for a ride...i thought OMG this is the coolest hottest car i ever seen! :thumbsup:

Him and my oldest brother did alot of 1/4 mile racing with it and i got to go alot to the races with them, it was great to be in the pits and seeing people like gartlits and muldowny...anyway as i got to be older and bought my first car all my friends were ford guys so i ended up buying a 62 fairlane with a 221 3 speed on the column...needles to say no power....so after i rebuilt her...tranny and the over drive unit as well...didnt have a dad person to help me so did it all from a chiltons! anyways long story short...ended up with a bored out 302 and a hurst mystry shifter on the floor! bout tore the rear end out..

after i got much older...ive gone thru 9 mustangs including a 96 boss they were all great. after i got abit older i was looking for another american sports car and again was looking at the stangs i couldnt find one i liked and then i seen the first 2010 camaro...wow...blew my mind. so i started looking into the camaro's and recently purchased my first GM product!

A 2012 RS/2SS camaro...and what fun it has been...:drool:

Thank You! Trying to add more pics and not sure how to do it.

That is definitely a beautiful car.

I myself had a 96 z28, and thought that reaching a pinnacle was buying a Mercedes. Needeless to say that I had the mercedes for 6 years, and it wasn't worth owning IMHO. THis year I picked up a 2012 SS, and couldn't be happier. I am glad to be back in the muscle car fold :)

1hotchevy 04-07-2012 09:24 AM

welcome back to the fold, it just makes it much better when u return!

Congrats! Just beware...............of the dreaded Mod Bug!:yikes::D

1hotchevy 04-07-2012 09:34 AM

For sure, ive already added the dove tail spoiler and borla exhaust as well as the body color engine cover!

1hotchevy 04-07-2012 09:36 AM

Almost forgot i also changed wheels from the painted ones to the polished ones, ill be using those for winter with blizzaks on them and buying some Foose Legends for summer use :)

IsaacRN 04-07-2012 09:40 AM

haha...I hear you on the mod bug


I have a CAI from Apex coming. I would like to put some black rims on the car. I don't want to heavily mod, until the car is actually mine.

Congrats. This Camaro is my first GM product too.

1hotchevy 04-07-2012 09:49 AM

ill pay mine off early, thats my goal...anyways sometime id like to do my K&N filter and shorty headers, doing some little stuff under the hood like changing the plastic caps and adding some things. hope it all looks good when im done!
