First introduction - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Whats up guys, I've been on this site for a few years using information that everyone posted and finally registered. I'm not sure why it took me so long haha. Anyways, I have a 2013 2SS/RS 1LE. It made 480/439 last time it was on the dyno. I'm going back and fourth about keeping it due to having a 2 year old but for now its here to stay.

Welcome to the Forum! In hopes that you are able and willing to keep the girl, she's a beauty! You part with it and the day will come that you will regret it! Been there and done that several times.

Blueray1le · 07-31-2020, 05:17 AM

Yeah I go back and fourth with it. I've only had my son in the back once and its doable but not my thing. I'm also considering a 4 door down the road so there are a few options. I rarely drive the car but when I do it brings a smile to my face!

Welcome! Nice garage.

pyroguy · 07-31-2020, 07:51 AM

Welcome and keep it!! I have a 3 years old and a 1 year old. Even at 7' tall and two car seats in back I can still drive mine. It's a "family car".

Seriously though, it's a beautiful car with great power. Keep it and teach your little one about the joys of a fun car and have fun with it. Unfortunately mine will run the least miles I've ever run it in a year with the COVID junk going on putting probably 1,000 miles on it, but the years that there's car shows going on the car is totally worth it. Like I said, I'm 7' with 2 little ones and my car is cammed similar to yours and I just added exhaust diverters to make it more fun at shows. My Camaro isn't going anywhere for a long time because my boys love it nearly as much as I do.

I’ve got a 4 year old and a 6 year old and they both love it. Same as pyro said, we can use it as a family car and have for several road trips with no comfort issues at all. I’d keep it your kids will grow to love it, mine sure do.

Blueray1le · 07-31-2020, 09:14 AM

Yeah I have a convertible car seat for the rear. It was the smallest and most recommended for small back seats. He fits just fine but my wife even at 5"2' has the seat pretty close to the dash because I don't want my son kicking the back of the seat. Once he is in a booster seat I feel like it will be a lot easier.

It sounds like it’s modded based on numbers. Did you do or buy it that way?

I purchased the car in stock form at 14k miles as a CPO from Chevy. I have done all of the aftermarket work myself with the exception of the cam/tuning.

Athletics101 · 07-31-2020, 11:47 AM

Welcome to the forum. Those are good numbers NA. Definitely keep the car live with no regrets. Save up 3k and get a 2005 Camry or something that will last forever.

Greenhornet2 · 07-31-2020, 11:54 AM

I have twin 10 year old girls. They love the Camaro. They like it when they get "stuck to the seat" and exaggerate it lol.

Welcome!

xstuntman · 07-31-2020, 02:45 PM

Keep it and the kids will have some great memories!

My kids do not fit but they are twenty and thirty one. Sadly its the two year old behind the wheel sometimes. My daughter still talks about the time i told her to hold on because "we are about to do something amazing and don't tell mom".

Yeah, she told.
