Inferno Diablo

This is how I came about getting my IOM Camaro. I used to own a 2010 Black camaro and was so happy with it but it started giving me issues

-2 blown speakers
-computer failures
-4 a/c compressors blown out
-halo lights different colors
-oil leaks
-the list goes on

So finally I got fed up and took it back under the California lemon law, they asked me if I wanted to get my deposit back plus all the monthly payments that I had paid for the car but I said the hell no ! I dont want my money back I want another Camaro !!!! this time around I said no more black because its a pain in the ass to keep clean and went with ordering my IOM and havent looked back since

09/16/2010 - (1102) Order Entered via Web
12/02/2010 - (6000) Delivered To Customer or dealer has completed customer paperwork

Everyone ALWAYS asks "why didnt you get the SS" well the answer is simple, the Camaro is my daily driver and my Ducati 1198s is my weekend ride After 6 months of having my car and having it heavily modified I decided to look for other people who shared the same passion I had for making their Camaro stand out from the rest, thats where SoCal Head Turners was established, our club consists of only 5th gen modified Camaros. I am always flattered when people come up to me and tell me our clubs' cars are their inspiration to modify their Camaros . The name Diablo was given to my car by my dear friend Tommy (Tcat ) after seeing how mean it looked he figured that was the only fitting name

Had to double check your last post. I thought you said you ran a 9.67 1/4 mile instead of 1/8 mile. I was thinking, "Dang, what did he put in that thing!"
