New Guy Saying Hello!
Mornin' Everyone,
Been lurking for a while and finally am able to post. Im a long time hot rodder and car enthusiast. Have had the priveledge of owning many cool cars over time. F bodiy cars include a 71 Firebird, 75 Formula, 72 Camaro, 78 Camaro 4 sp, 79 Camaro, 79 Camaro Z28, 85 Camaro Z-28 and now my new to me 11 Camaro SS with RS package with the Inferno Orange interior. Car has about 54k miles on it. Ive only had it about 2 weeks. Have basic maintenance items to catch up on, fluids, coolant hoses etc. Im not sure Ill keep the rims on the car or get different ones. I am planning on removing the caliper covers. Theyre nice quality, but the wheels are already "busy" and the covers seem to clutter things up more-so. The pin striping was painted on and done very well, cant change that. Has Borla cat back and K&N filter. Future plans for Kooks long tubes and a tune. I traded an 82 36k mile Vette straight across to a very close family friend. I hope to learn more about the 5th gen Camaro from all you guys. |

Welcome, I serviced those old vettes back in the day coming off the car trailers. I have to say I don't think I could of traded that vette for anything. Awesome looking vette! You'll love the pure performance of the Camaro. I've had just about every gen Camaro and TA and without a doubt the 5th is my fav because of how well it does the asphalt boogie.

Wasnt an easy decision.... BUT, the SS brings me back to when I had my 2002 Z06's . Ive missed those cars since I sold them. This is the closest Ive come to that Z06 feel... The 82 Vette was a sexy car for sure in mint condition, but the SS does everything so much better. |
