Are you leaving your Camaro stock? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Waiting for the 30k warranty to go out.

Revo1 · 07-12-2010, 11:20 PM

Not by a longshot

More than likely keeping mine stock. Baby on the way will put an end to frivolous spending, hence busting my butt to get the Camaro before the baby gets here! I won't be getting a new car again for a while, so I wanted something I can enjoy and something that is great straight out of the box!

However, my buddy bought me a Skip Shift Eliminator as a 'Welcome to the LS3' club, so that will more than likely be going on soon. And I had it tinted 30% sides and 20% rear, but that doesn't really count as a mod these days!

I've owned 2 Mustang GT's, a C6 Corvette, Firebird Formula, Trans Am, and this is my 2nd Camaro. I've never modded any of them and have no plans to do so with the new Camaro. It's fine just the way it is. It'll never see a track, will never smoke it's tires, and will probably never go faster than 85 mph.

I've always been easy on my cars. Any mods would be a waste of money for me. Btw, not counting my blackout bowties as a mod. I'm assuming you mean performance upgrades.

Keepin' it stock for the time being. I ordered mine, and I'm very pleased with the way it is. The only thing I've done is window tinting. I don't feel the need, at this point, to do anything to mine.

Maybe a CAI at some point in the future.....

Very cool, totally relate cept for the speed part. 2002 mustang, 1994 corvette, 79 cutlass supreme, 72 chevelle, I left them all stock.

SummitWhiteLS · 07-13-2010, 12:05 AM

Stock or GMPP only.

Warranty, Warranty, Warranty ...

98_Camaro · 07-13-2010, 12:07 AM

Besides what the previous owner already did to it, it's staying stock until I've got a few thousand in the bank.
After that, I'm thinking sub-frame swap.

Sorry...I can't keep quiet anymore.....
SummitWhiteLS...you've mentioned warranty in so many of your posts. It almost seems like you're waiting for your car to break so you can get it fixed for free. I've owned many new cars and never had to have "warranty" maintenance. If the car did require warranty maintenance then I would'nt want it anymore....i.e. LEMON. Cars are better designed these days...the Camaro engine(s) has been proven reliable as in the V6 Caddilac or V8 in the Vettes. I know some will disagree with me and say better to be safe than sorry and many will give stories about how warranty saved them thousands....still, I'd bet they are the exception and not the norm. If warranties were really needed than dealers would not offer it as they would be money losers for them. Dealerships make thousands of extra dollars with warranty packages....think about it....if they had to fix every 20 or 30 cars for free out of a hundred sold....they would loose money....GM would loose money. Cars are better designed these days and its really rare for a new car to need major repair work before 100,000 miles. Warranty be damned....I'm modding mine now!!!

Hmmm...in the future.....
a stock 2010 Camaro worth more or...
a Foose Modded 2010 Camaro....
only time will tell.

Why do people still think color makes a car worth more?...I have yet to see a car auction sell a car for a higher price because of color...thats what paint shops are for....ask anyone who restores old cars...paint is important but not the overall deciding factor of price.

Never leave my car stock, even if I had a ferrari it would at least get some sweet after market wheels.
