Come over, I'll show you every receipt for every part on the car (not that i have to prove anything to you or anyone). The reason a Brembo GT kit exists is because of me, the grille on my car is one off, no one else has the same one, the reason that a lot of parts exist for a Camaro is because of the use of my car by companies for R&D. I'm not saying i paid retail for everything, but i did pay at least a little for every single part. Think about it, the brakes retail for $8,000, before custom paint. Even with a discount (how big of a discount do you think these companies give!?) that's still thousands of dollars. Wheels retail for $8,000, supercharger retails for $7,600, that's $25,000 right there. Knock of a few thousand and you're still looking at $20,000. That's just for 3 mods on my car. Now forget all that crap, money means nothing. It has nothing to do with how much anyone pays for parts, it depends on the actual parts on the car. I'm sorry if anyone feels i didn't deserve 3rd place. I bought this car with my money, im still paying it off, i have spent the last 3 years modding it to my own personal preference. I have installed most of the parts myself. My blood sweat and tears are in this car. Not to mention i was laid off my job 2 years ago due to the economy and cut backs, and i still did what i had to do to buy parts and keep my car up to par. So if anyone has anything to say, please say it directly to me. But please don't disrespect me without talking to me first. As a member of this site i am part of this family and i owed the same respect as anyone else here. Thank you.

I always thought people work up towards sponsorships. I thought that was the goal with most (Not all) people. If you can get heavy discounted parts why wouldn't you want it? I am broke as a joke with no job and going to school, so barely get enough for car payments and other things. So partial sponsors, full sponsors, or R&D work is the only way i can pay for what i want. All the power to you guys that can dish out money, but in this recession i would think a lot of people would want cheaper or free parts.

I guess you think we should all care about you cuz you serve in the military. You act as if none of us matter at all. Thanks for serving and protecting this country, as well as the freedom we all take for granted. That includes the freedom for me to not care what you or anyone else thinks. You're welcome.

i really dont get ya man, just show some respect to other camaro owners. We all have the same passion on fixing our cars up. I know you can get some sponsors because u got an impressive motor build. Then you can use that money you saved on other things you can buy.

Don't even worry about it Sammy, with that attitude he'll get nowhere in this industry, let alone life. Best of luck to him.

And let's also watch the language. It's easy to clean up one or two words. But, an entire 10 line post? Ouch... There's no way to clean that up.

I kindly and politely ask, please, help each other out.


Thanks.

Allow me to quote myself.

If anyone here can honestly say I didn't give anyone the benefit of the doubt, I'd have to reconsider how I help out.

I tried. I did. Wasn't rude to anyone. I didn't make any threats... Just asked politely.

There's absolutely NO reason this should continue.

And if we can't simply get along, then we'll continue to have to step in and THAT....is not something I/we truly personally enjoy doing.

So again, please...

If I may...

Life isn't about who places what, how we get our mods, or how much we pay. Just enjoy it. And let others enjoy it too.

Moving on...let's all and enjoy each others company.

PLEASE!

You are welcome.

I'm sorry for doing that, but I had to do some catching up and cleaning up.

All we ask is for everyone to keep their cool.

...please.
