Blade · 12-28-2009, 02:37 PM

Holy crap that color in the snow looks incredible!!

Rocketright · 12-28-2009, 02:37 PM

Awesome! You're going to love it I bet.
So that's yours in the picture?

Carter

Darth_Emma · 12-28-2009, 02:39 PM

It's BEAUTIFUL! Nice ride. You'll love it.

mike12345 · 12-28-2009, 02:39 PM

yes, The one in the pic is mine.

Im thinking about pulling the engine out of it now. Enough people gave me crap about buying a V6.... Now I want to stuff a LS9 V8 638HP engine in it.

Rocketright · 12-28-2009, 02:40 PM

Just keep the V6

It's an awesome V6, that's what I'm getting.

304HP, awesome gas mileage, and nice and cheap.

I would keep it in if I were you, it's got a lot of power. You could always buy a supercharger when they come out.

Carter

Blade · 12-28-2009, 02:49 PM

The V8 won't fit. There is a thread discussing swapping engines a couple weeks old. Problem is with the 2 different ways the v6 and v8 are mounted on the sub frames. For you to do it, you would probably put in another $15k in easily and thats on the low end. You also would have to do drastic changes to the frame and body, so I wouldn't do it.

Enjoy the v6 and its benefits and the guys who are giving you are hard time, don't understand the new engine and are also jealous that you have a Camaro period. You can always put a Supercharger or Turbo in and have fun

PQ · 12-28-2009, 02:51 PM

Congrats. Stick around. And check out the C5 Fest in April.

BeckyD@RodgersChevrolet · 12-28-2009, 02:53 PM

What a beautiful contrast against the snow. Enjoy the ride and welcome aboard.

The engine Im talking about adding is 20K+ anyway stock. I don't think it'd be hard to do. I'll go glance at the thread though.

Rocketright · 12-28-2009, 02:58 PM

Yea were just worried it won't fit. It might not.

A 4k supercharger will get you an extra 100HP.

SamIyam · 12-28-2009, 03:00 PM

If you sunk 20k in to hopping up the v6... you'd show all the people giving you crap what's what!

Turbos, exhaust, computer work, cam... heads... uh-huh.

Sam

mike12345 · 12-28-2009, 03:10 PM

If you sink 20K into a V6 it ain't going to hit the 1000HP that the LS9 is getting with twin turbos. Hennessy preformance is puting out a new 850 and 1000HP version.

Not that I want turbos, I would probably stay with a supercharger if I was going to do it.

If im going for power im going all the way.

nascarnate326 · 12-29-2009, 01:09 PM

Add a SC and exhaust. Tint the windows and get some rims. LOVE IT!

Jones · 12-29-2009, 01:36 PM

beautiful color

shank0668 · 12-29-2009, 01:41 PM

The comments about a v8 not fitting, I really doubt that this is true. You would have to cut engine mounts and make your own. Gm would not make 2 different frames. Btw you should not do any exterior mods and make it a sleeper.

2010 SSRS · 12-29-2009, 01:46 PM

Congrats, you to now have the best car on the road.

gtwss · 12-29-2009, 08:28 PM

Congrats, looks good

papabearcamaro · 12-29-2009, 10:01 PM

Congrats from one Wisconsinite to another! Enjoy your new toy.

jrc1122 · 12-29-2009, 10:07 PM

I like it! Nice color too! Enjoy.

Welcome

Nice Camaro
