Staying Stock- Am I the Only One? - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

daveagogo1 · 03-19-2011, 06:00 PM

Mine was stock for exactly 15 days. Pieces and parts have been added every week since. I have an entire racking setup in my garage with all the stock parts boxed up in them.

It all depends on what you want. I myself wanted mine to look like no other 5th gen and it doesn't in many areas. I also did not want to lose the ability to take her back to bone stock someday if need be. Buying only brand new parts with zero core exchanges.

Whatever you want to do with the car is totally your choice. Stock is plenty good enough. I just wanted more myself.

These cars come castrated from the factory. Its up to us to put the ballz back on them

If I had an 2SS I'd have no qualms about staying stock lol

Yep staying pretty much stock here. I have intake and exhaust, but that will be it for me. This car is a blast to drive like it is.

You aren't the only one. Once I take ownership of my mothers Camaro Z28 I plan to return it to factory specifications, including the AM radio and 8 track tape player.

If I ever had the urge to modify a particular vehicle, I would keep the original parts and store them.

gtohardtop · 03-19-2011, 08:17 PM

love mine just like it is

oldfriend · 03-19-2011, 08:19 PM

If is not broken .,.,.,. do not fix it !

modding is fun. just bear in mind GM is cracking down on mods these days. especially tunes. don't be surprised if your warranty gets voided for something minor like an intake. and forget a tune.

I'm all for it. just take responsibility and don't blame GM and the dealer if something breaks.

with 25k miles per year, i'm keeping her stock.

Stock is boring

ga0358 · 03-19-2011, 10:24 PM

Am I the only one who dreams of Superchargers and Headers instead of Sugarplums dancing in their heads.

(Sorry it's the Capt and Coke talking) I don't even have my 2SS yet. LOL Seriously plan on just a few cosmetic changes for a bit then all bets are off. Man I really lost my a** modding my '82 Z28 Pace Car to death after the POS 305 blew. (Blown 406,Race Turbo 400,Narrowed Ford Rear blah blah blah) Got caught speeding at 23 and lost my insurance and sold the car later at a big loss. But it was fun while it lasted. At 49 you would think I have learned a lesson. We will see.
