The Pittsburgh Thread

[Swacer]

Haven't said much on here for the last couple years, but finally unloaded the camaro and picked myself up a GT350. So off to the dark side.

So I'll be signing off on this account. Be safe everybody!

I swear you are on every forum.

Buy a 4th Gen....you are on LS1Tech

Buy a LS2 GTO... you are on LS1GTO

Buy a 5th Gen 1LE... you are on Camaro5

We should have a play date for a our 1LE sometimes as I don't see many around these parts.

That’s usually what people do... actually, I think most people join the forums first and then buy the car, but yeah... I’ve had this user ID and avatar since the first forum I joined which was camaroz28.com in the late 90’s.

Play dates are rare because my wife and kids don’t allow me out to play much, so when I am out it’s usually the track anymore. I was just at Pitt Race on Wednesday for their free laps; I’ll be doing the full TNIA in August. Also doing UMI in July. Gotta try and fit in Keystone at some point, too.

No I was more implying that this was my buying order and I seem to always find you on each forum not directed at your purchase history.

I actually live 15 mins away from Pitt Race. I wish I knew they had "free lap" days. Does that happen often?

That is actually why I bought my 1LE but have not yet had a chance to run it.

No offense taken

Every time they host a Track Night In America event, there is an open twenty minute session at 6pm for anyone to get on the track and make laps. You simply need to sign up for it online in advance. While it’s paced, I still was able to hit 80 in some spots. It’s great experience if one hadn’t ever driven the particular track.

If you have any interest in doing stuff like that (which apparently you do), I’ll keep you updated when any of us go out. Several of my friends are more into Autocross, so they do that nearly every weekend, but I like the big tracks.

I have a cat back exhaust and I think I would like to add Kooks headers. Anyone in Pittsburgh have headers that I might listen to? youtube is great but its hard to really get a feeling of how loud they are. I leave for work at 430am and when I take this car sometimes I don't want to wake the neighborhood.
I also go to free track nights occasionally, its a 40 min drive for me

[demonspeed]

I have Kooks with cats and NPP. It’s very loud. I also have a cam, so that adds to it. I’m up in Evans City if you’re ever in the Cranberry area.

I work up in the Wexford Cranberry area probably a few times a week. Let me know a good time I'd love to hear it.

I think my 2010 Camaro needs the ECM replaced. I've replaced many of the sensors over the past few years, and they continue to give me errors. Inspection is coming up this month and I'm sick of getting the waiver sticker for emissions.

Do any of you Camaro owners in Pittsburgh happen to know of a reputable Chevy dealer I could take it to that will put an actual, knowledgable mechanic on it to get the car working as it should?

Thanks in advance.

I have the same setup as demonspeed....I'm over in the Beaver Chippewa area and work down in Monaca if interested.

[SteelCamaro]

Anyone know of any local performance shops still around that would be able to install a cam package and tune? Now that Tom Henry and Grabiak have both sold and closed.
