Exclamation Scoots Zl1 Build(First Camaro Ever)

*This is going to be a build thread with as much detail as possible.*



So I purchased my 2014 Silver Ice ZL1 with only 24k miles and completely stock. From CarMax (insert gasp) Lol I had been searching for weeks and this popped up!In my search I had seen ones with more mods and way more miles selling for a lot more.My only wants for the car were simple.

1. Preferred White but would settle for any color except Red.(Nothing against them they look great. I've never liked the color red)
2. Had to be manual
3. Had to be low miles


So I am super stoked to join the Camaro family!

You can post pictures and zip files onto the forum page you are working on, use advanced and select manage attachments. Some like my friend FasNuf likes to post videos on you tube and add links (web address) onto his posts, lots of good info in them.

I started with my first ZL1 in 2013 it was brand new from the dealership, had it 3 weeks before tearing into the engine. I have a journal of my current ZL1 build listed in the build journals.

Good luck Scoots, mods are very addictive!!!

PS: the Stock coils are more than adequate, upgrade to Taylor or MSD wires with heat shield socks.
