I think you will enjoy the car. The biggest problem will be traction.

Thank you. I know it’s sometimes hard to ascertain tone with texts but I was being sincere in thanking you. Have a good week.

Wow, 767rwhp congrats on the numbers. I don't even think you'll need wings for her

. Hope to meet you at the Nationals in July.

Thanks Joe. I already registered and will be there all 3 days. I am trying to bring these friends with me:

1968 SS/RS bored 350 (383)
1968 SS supercharged- roughly 1000rwhp
1969 SS supercharged- roughly 550-ish rwhp
2021 ZL1 making over 1000rwhp

Holy S#@t!! THAT would be cool. I live in western jersey not far from 78(I believe changes into 76 in PA). Glad I'll be able to meet you finally as well as others.

Joe, Im guessing you and I lived close to eachother. I lived off exit 7 on the turnpike(Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst). Wish I could make it out there with you guys. Everyone I have talked with on here has been just straight up solid peoples. Would be excited to meet you and and check out your cars. Perhaps someday...

I grew up in Atco, NJ before moving to Allentown, PA. I was stationed at McGuire.

MSgt O · 03-06-2022, 09:21 PM

My best friend is from Coopersburg! Met him at Travis AFB in 1990. He had a POS 78 Camaro he brought from PA...rust and all! When were you at McGuire? I was there from 2004-2015

Royal Tiger · 03-06-2022, 09:24 PM

After me. 1994-2003

Yes,
Not too far away MSgt O, about a 45 minute drive but if you know Jersey traffic, it would be a 3 hour drive

. As for you last comment, this forum has been a joy to me as there are very few a$sh#les on here and people are always willing to help. I'm amazed at the knowledge because I got my CamaroGen5 in May 2019 as a 50th birthday present from the wifey(bow and all), I screamed and ran around the dealership because I had no clue she went ahead and pulled the trigger for me. Then, I joined this forum and couldn't believe how much car technology has changed in 30 years. These guys and gals know their stuff. I'm not sure if I missed them but do you have a place where you posted your CamaroGen5 pictures. Your avatar looks awesome and of course I'm partial to verts, so I'd like to see some pics of that vert, but I think the Camaro Gen5(vert or not) is both beautiful and mean at the same time. I like it better than the 6th.

MSgt O · 03-07-2022, 06:01 PM

I made a scrap book or whatever its called under my profile. I also, bought mine as a 50th Birthday present to myself last year in June!!!

Very well said Joe!!! I joined the forum back in 2011 right after I purchased my 2011 brand new. Lots of awesome and helpful folks on here, and a few that aren't.. lol.

Very cool sir!! I bought mine new in 2011 as a "pre" retirement present to ME!! Knowing I would have it all paid for by when that time came, and it came sooner than expected due to COVID, but all is good and I am blessed to be able to enjoy it, and not expecting her to be as "modded" as she is, but you know how that goes!! lol. Enjoy those Camaro's !! I sure do!!

It hit 774, but averaged 767.5 on E60. It might do better on E85 as that E60 was E95 mixed with the 93 pump gas I had in the tank.

Didn’t see any mention of driveshaft upgrade. Did I miss it or had you already done one?
