Halle: My First 5th Gen Camaro - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

CharlieRS · 04-03-2012, 12:42 AM

Hey everyone My Name is Charlie, i'm a 20 y/o college student who just got their first Camaro LT RS a few days ago. I could never have imagined that i would receive this car, and I'm extremely grateful.

I named her Halle, after Halle Berry... so when people call i can say "I can't talk, I'm in Halle Berry right now." jp

One question i have for you guys is, what is the first think you think i should do with my baby? Keep in mind that I'm a college student... on a college student budget...

if you can afford it (gas, insurance, up keep) then more power to you.
if its going to be a burden.. then Id say trade it in for a bother car till you graduate and make more money

NICE!!! But judging from that NO PARKING sign across the street, Don't park there or there goes your first mod budget

rberns · 04-03-2012, 12:48 AM

Depending on which head your thinking with...but I would say get an RX Catch Can.

welcome, I think a good place to start would be upgrading the interior lights to LEDs or maybe some footwell lights.

Congrats!

I would start off with a cold air intake, most people start off with that. The intake will improve your fuel efficiency and will give the car a nice little rumble when you give it gas.

BowtieBelle · 04-03-2012, 08:47 AM

Ported Throttle Body and a Cold Air Intake should be your first mods. The throttle body isn't expensive, and it'll give you a MUCH better throttle response time. The cold air will increase your RWHP and make your car much happier.

If you are in college and can afford a new camaro, you aren't "struggling" too bad.

How's that haterade taste? If he's like I was in college, he put every penny he has into having a nice car to drive, which doesn't leave a lot left for extras, but in my mind it was worth it.
