I think you should shut it down actually.
When some of us are wishing harm on GM and it's employees, I think that crosses the line.

My post was way out of line so thank you for deleting it and my apologies. I just came back to delete it myself with and apology and it was already gone.

I am not sure I really want to hang around this bunch actually. Sad really. :(

Yup, you're correct... but that's for now...

It's a conservative build tune and we are going to be increasing that real soon... We are soon to be upping it to around 1200 or more I'm hoping... Call me crazy... Ask PQ about his ride....

As for traction... right now with the street tires, very high speed burnouts are possible, with no clutch action... Guess how high you may think and then add some...

I have a set of 28/10/17 Slicks on the way to mount on Weld Wheels... That will help... A LOT...

I'm not sure what was said but from what I just read from radz28 thats not good were all grown men a women and certain lines should never be crossed. I personally am enjoying the comments I have been reading in general.. lets be civil..

You need to rename your camaro from an SS to an SST.
That thing going to be street legal after those future mods?

Either you don't know what sunny and warm is or I don't know what cold is...I think I may not know what cold is...is it like 55 degrees?

To a Canadian 60s is like 70s to an American!

No pollen yet to cover the cars , still to early for that up here . We don't get the amounts of pollen that i saw when i was in Georgia two years ago for the 1st C5 Fest . Now that was heavy pollen !! It looked like snow .

SST is taken... http://camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88877

Ya'll need to branch out and see some of the things going on around the site...

There is a member that started a thread in the V-8 Forced induction section about the 1000+ RWHP gang... There are already one or two, and soon to be lots of others... me included if all goes according to plan...

The fortunate thing for us wee members of society with only SS's and LT/LS's is that we have a few years head start on modifying...

There will be some billy bad ZL1's soon... and I mean really billy bad ones... I can think of one going to a guy in Houston that may be driven from the dealer to the shop for mods...

I drove my car 13,000 miles bone stock and decided it was time...

About the only thing that would still be covered under warranty on my car is the window roller up/down thingy...

Motor, clutch, trans, driveshaft, diff, axles, etc... The seats are still original though they need to come out for slimmer seats so my 8 point roll cage can be finished...

Street Legal... Yup... and to top it off... I got 23+ MPg on the way back from the Fest II in Phoenix... with 800 RWHP on tap... 427 cubic inches of stroked and forged fun...

The link to the thread above is a good friend of mine... He is a class act and all around good guy...

If you're interested, here is the link to my build thread...
http://camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122837

It's informative, funny, heartbreaking, educational (what to do and what not to do) etc...
