I finally got her! My 2011 Synergy Green SS Build

[YoungGunn187]

It all started back in 2010. It was my senior year and as usual, my friends and I were talking about cars.

One of my friends would not stop talking about the new camaro that just came out. Wanting a closer look, I pulled out my phone and looked up a picture. I fell in love, and that's when the master plan began to take shape.

My two problems at the time:
1. There was no way I was going to earn enough money in my senior year to buy the car
2. Within a year after graduating high school I would be leaving the country for two years to serve as a missionary for my church. Thus, even if I miraculously came up with the money, they car would simply sit in the garage for two years straight!

I knew I had to wait, and the wait would be well worth it.

To fill my Camaro hunger, during the remainder of my senior year and the year to follow before I left as a missionary, I planned my camaro to the T. I would find myself daily coming on these forums looking at the COTWs, taking ideas from each to create my dream car.

I knew when I returned back to the states, I would need a large amount of cash to buy the car. I set a rule early on that I would never go in debt for a vehicle. So I slaved away at work and saved every penny I got.

I got my assignment to Toronto Canada, and I would be learning the Mandarin Language. Just before I left, I invested every single penny I owned into the stock market where it sat for two years. Lets just say...the stocks did me well. I came home with a very very impressive return. So much so that I was able to purchase my dream car in cash and have some to spare.

I returned from Canada August 27th, 2014 and spent HOURS each and every day on more than 7+ used car websites and forums trying to locate an ABM or SGM v8. Took me three weeks to finally locate one, make and offer, and actually drive down to see it. I was more than happy with the condition of the car and pulled the trigger!

Finally, my 4 year wait has paid off, let the perma-grin begin!

Awesome! Now you'll want a CAI and a Throttle Body (VMAX or Bo White).

Those would be easy to install, add some hp (CAI) and throttle response (TB) and also great mods!
