I hate to say it, but this car is extremely popular and it seems most buy it as a finished product.

At least that is how I see it in my area.

The only good side is when I bought my car I was one of the few camaro's on the road and now there are many, but I am still one of the few.

PS: MRT is the most popular exhaust on this site I would be curious how many they sell in a year to how many camaros sold. If I were to guess I would say it is 20% on this site that have MRT. It isn't exact science, but I would think most modders would visit this site or the other.

Very good point, and I think you're right for the most part. At my college there are probably 8-10 V6's and 6-8 SS's. Of all of those only about two or three are modded and they are all an SS.

PoorMansCamaro · 11-01-2011, 10:20 AM

it's never too much. but for 20k, you'd better be hitting 10 seconds in the quarter mile and winning first place in all car shows.

I don't get this at all. All your mods are appearance mods that you probably would've done to the SS anyway. Don't follow your logic here.

SIXJAK · 11-01-2011, 01:45 PM

I'm sure I need to total it up but I'm well over 6k

jeff4946 · 11-01-2011, 01:48 PM

He is going to buy an SS, and start 14 threads, about how he upgraded. Those are the best! And then bash the shit out of the v6, and yet, not once did he ever try something for power..... And O, how he will be welcomed into the pearly gates. I hear its like paradise over there!

VR Baron · 11-01-2011, 02:13 PM

Close to $4000 before I Traded it in. Reselling parts now I took off now.The new one will be less then $2000

I think even if I had an SS, I would have added everything I have now, except maybe the door sill plates, but mine are much more attractive than the SS ones. This is my list:

OEM ground effects 1400
MRT v2 329 (?)
Labor for both 160
vinyl black out 69
Loyds mats 110
Door sill plates billet 70
Clear bra and other protection 625
Vararam Intake (?) 329
install 35
Various and sundry AAC lights approx 400
Custom Tag (?) 60
Total $3587, give or take, I don't have the exact figures with me

Doesn't include my Adams products, cleaning supplies, spa visits (she's high maintenance), Hot Rod Power Tour accessories, car show and other registrations

, my car is eye candy, I admit it!
