lol

I don't drive mine in the winter because the salt is horrible to the cars. I have winter cars for that. but my car is hardly a garage queen. I drive it a lot and drive it hard on the track in the summer time.

Cars are meant to be drove.

If you have tons of money and buy a car to put it aside, then great, but drive the car, drive it hard, appreciate what the engineers designed for you.

Yea like everybody is saying. It's not exclusive to the Camaro's.

It's a 40k Chevy, nothing to keep in the garage and never drive. I drive the piss out of mine and I love it. I haven't had a warranty on it since it had 2k miles on it, and the blower makes it so much fun. Hell I drive mine in the winter too.

I did put mine on the track a lot last year. I did the Thursday Night Lightz thing about every week from July to October. Also raced in the Monster Energy Street Life Tour.

More parts?? You pick up a slightly used, really shiny intake manifold? Yep, mine's waiting on the next trip down to Cincy. Goal is to run more this season. But it sits for now.

Here's how to drive an irreplaceable car:

When I watched this video, it made me think about IrocanSS for some reason

No just doing the coil relocate, cleaning up the injector and wiring harness, and a new grille. The "cold air intake" will have to wait till spring or summer. I am looking for a new daily driver right now. They moved Thrusday Night Lightz from Edgewater to Kilkare, also it's now going to be on Friday Night. I will be there most, if not every week. I ended up spending a lot of time on the track last fall. I hope you can join in the fun.

Nice, I love that look with the engine cleaned up. Definitely will meet up with you at KilKare, only twenty minutes from home. Thursday is their traditional T&T, but Friday will be great too.

Depends on someone hosting it. I think our very generous host sold his camaro last year. But he still has a 2nd gen. They've all been a good time.

If anyone is interested the wife and I would like to hold a mod day at our place this year. We have plenty of parking and the garage is plenty big enough. Garage is stocked with tools, jacks, welder, paint booth, so we could do alot of damage if we try. Any feedback on dates would be great, our weekends are very flexible.

That sounds great, maybe we could have more than one this year. Do you have a bushing removal tool? Rear cradle bushings are the one major mod i have to do, and we could do a few for anyone who is there as well. I'm up for doing swaybar and spring swaps for folks too. I'm either going to make or buy one, but with a new garage going up everything's in storage right now.

Or an air chisel. It made my busing removal very easy actually. I read on here were someone used one and thought I'd give it a try. I was actually surprised at how well it actually worked without tearing anything up.

Interesting, never though to use it for that. Though I don't have one anymore. Someone kicked our garage door and nabbed two impacts, my chisel, an air compressor, my torches and tanks, a mig welder, two winters super lite axles and every torsion bar arm and radius rod not bolted on my sprint car. And when i say kicked in i mean he completely destroyed the door and part of the frame to get in.
