Hello to all. I have been reading this forum for a long while to learn what I wanted and what I was going to do. Here is my story - I was going to buy an early 5th Gen Camaro (loved the tail light look) and then add an AGP TT kit.


After reading this forum I called AGP to get some advice. Long story short I wound up talking to Kevin and it just so has it that he was selling his 2011 car (which was much more than I was going to ever do myself).


We worked the deal and I flew out to Phoenix and bough and drove the car back this weekend. Now I have a LOT to learn but here is some of the work he has done:


Full coilover suspension Lightweight Forge Star wheels 20x8F 18x11R CNC ported LSA heads, stainless valves, dual springs ARP studs Comp 224 cam, hardened pushrods Melling oil pump AGP Twin turbo ballbearing Garrett GTX30r’s Dual 3” stainless magnaflow exhaust system with custom quad tip splits at rear Dual walbro 450lph fuel pumps, -8 braided lines, Fore FPR under hood Full flex fuel set up ZL1 6L90 A6 transmission Circle-D 3600rpm stall 3.91:1 rear end with Eaton TruetracMPH Switch Boost controller Line Lock Lingenfelter two-step

I need to get it tuned here, but he believes it should put out over 800whp since it dyno'd at 760 in Phoenix elevation at the point of sale.

I am looking to learn a lot and get to know some of you. Thank you for this forum and advice...

I bought my 2014 2SS/RS in August 2019 in KC,KS with only 11,400 miles. I had been searching all this car sites for about two months. Lost on in Chicago, said no to one in Tarpon Springs FL. They both had some road wear but this one was great. I flew to KC and bought it. Drove it home through St. Louis to see an old friend.

Mine is black with inferno orange stripes and interior. Fully optioned except ac seats. Were they available?

Lets have a Camaro meet in N. Texas before the cold weather!

I'm having an issue posting pictures on this site.

My first Camaro

Bought this 1968 basic Camaro in 1971 in St. Louis, MO. It was originally a blue steel color and I had painted black. The guy that painted had a 68 Charger show car, specialized painting black and wanted to put flames on his show car. Offered to paint me flames and if I didn't like, he would remove at once. As you can tell I liked the flames and kept the car for 6 years.

327 2 barrel w/ PG, 10 bolt

But I blew the engine, replaced with another 327, 4 barrel, headers, turbo 400 and 12 bolt.

Great car!

My current Camaro

After owning two Corvettes (1971 & 1979) and a 2004 Thunderbird I bought this 2014 2SS convertible. I shopped online for 4 mths for this color, and model.

I did find some others first, but some were not in the condition or mileage range I wanted. Bought in K.C, Kansas with only 11,400 miles.

Just moved back to FTW!

Grew up in Dallas, but Marines took care of the last 30 years of living everywhere else! Finally moved family back to FTW area and interested to see if we pass inspection (LT headers, off road midpipe..plenty loud!).
Semper Fi and God Bless TX!
