I would love to have a tune, headers, cam and a CAI but with my luck who ever installed my cam would screw up my motor so I am good...lol

Where on earth is Garrison, Ky at? Never even heard of it.

Those roads don't intersect each other, but they both intersect I75. Garrison is in Lewis County, on the Ohio River, about a 100 miles NE of Lexington. Don't feel bad, no-one else has ever heard of it either.

I-64 from Lexington to the West Virginia line pretty cool too. IMHO it's prettier than I-75 between Lexington and Cincinnati and there is much less traffic. I'd like to take my Camaro out west. There's practically deserted interstates out there that go the horizon, straight as an arrow.

That looks like an 07. I have an 06 which is identical, except for the color, with 7500 miles on it.
Mine's a bullet!
My nephew has a Kawasaki Concours 1400 and he keeps telling me that his is faster, and I think it is, but just barely.
I keep thinking: Who cares? Mine is scary fast, a faster one will just be more scary.

Mine:

Very nice Gen II FJR!!! Mine is plenty fast for me. Not liter-bike fast, but a rocket none the less.

The Connie is a little faster, but the FJR is a better all around package (IMHO).

It's very hot here today, so I think I'll go out and tear up the back roads.....

In my Camaro!

I used to drive a 2001 Dodge Neon, so the V6 Camaro blows my socks off.

My brother drives a Truck, which feels slow even when you're going freeway speeds. When he was riding in the Camaro, he was saying how fast it felt like we were going, even when we were doing like 30 on a side street LOL. I'm pretty sure he was gripping his seat when I punched it onto the freeway.

back to reality though, the car is too damn heavy, and I daydream about the 3.91:1 rear gear...the LS3 could really use a GMPP tune to create about 50 more lb/ft between 2K and 4K rpm....and what is it with the throttle response??

I love how when entering the interstate everything is instantly behind me.
100 mph is so smooth.

My 2011 6.2 silverado had a throttle repsonse problem. I cured that with a set of long tube headers, tune and an LS7 Throttle body I picked up on ebay for a 100.00. Tune and TB really helped on my 2011 SS as well. These cars need all the help they can get with that.

My 3.91 rear in my auto is crazy awesome! It pulls from second like it used to from first, and you can't stop laughing when you use first....

2nd gear is my favorite. It's the most practical one for the most power on the street.
