Hi I am new to these forums and I just wanted to show other Camaro owners my 1995 V6 3.4L, its all stock besides the K and N air filter...

I just wanted to know what you guys think of my $1600 Camaro(buying a better one after High School, only 17)

I sold her...

*TAG UR IT* · 12-02-2008, 02:48 AM

THAT is a $1,600 Camaro?!?!?! You have to be kidding me!

First thing I'd do is put some darker tint on it. Then, I'd work on the stereo...add an amp or two with some JL's....nothing like a good sound system.

Not a whole lot you can do to the engine to get more out of her....same old intake and exhaust. However, with the money you spend in that area, you might as well get a V8.

Seriously, keep what ya got and save your pennies for a 1SS later on.

No kidding....that Camaro looks BEAUTIFUL for $1,600!!!

AND WELCOME TO THE SITE!!

I put a Flowmaster 80 series on my 2001 V6 and put dual pipes out the back. Makes good sound and probably upped the HP a bit.

Maybe some stripes over the hood or hockey stripes on the side? looks good though and welcome to the forums.

I like your exhaust bumblebee, but I think I would get a new radio and speakers first, the radio is currently broken ( broke maybe 2 months after I bought it).

and TAGURIT your camaro is amazing...

Welcome to the site. Tag does have a nice car.

I had a 94 V6 that looks like yours. Put Alpine head unit in, replaced all speakers with B/A speakers and put a tube sub in the back ditch. Sounded pretty good for spending less than 1,000.00 on it all.

From here looks like a good deal. Nice car conflict.

I agree, some tint will help you along.
Radio upgrade, with built in mp3 capabilities, and possibly a usb bay.

otherwise...Nice Camaro!

devildogcollier · 12-02-2008, 07:41 AM

hold on to it, fix it up a little then sell that thing for 3 or 4 times more than you paid for it

Inspector 17 · 12-02-2008, 07:50 AM

Nice car Conflict and welcome to the site! Tint and radio definitely sound like the right place to start. I also like the deeper tone of an aftermarket exhaust.

Moose · 12-02-2008, 09:16 AM

Welcome to the site Conflict.

And let me say, your Camaro is one of the nicer one's I've seen.

In my opinion, I'd leave well enough alone, and just replace/fix what is necessary.

I like the "stock" look, and yours apprears to be a very nice, clean, "stock" Camaro.

So, I'd fix what's needed, and save the money you would be spending on "mods." for your next Camaro.

so does that mean my camaro is ugly for $250.00?

lol

to the OP, welcome first off

secondly, if you had the 3.8 motor, id say you could slap on a s/c to it and have a ball, but the 3.4's dont do well with that.

however, you can keep the car clean and in great shape. a nice sound system, some tint, and keep her running.

*The_Blur* · 12-02-2008, 11:34 AM

That's gorgeous for the money! I'd just have fun with it until you can afford the fifth generation Camaro.

But I would put a nice sound system in it. I got a Sony Xplode Head unit and used some subs that I had in my truck and component speakers for $300 (which help a ton since convertibles only have 4 interior speakers.
Two 12" subs should be enough. The Six 12"s I had in my truck was excessive and I am already experiencing noticeable hearing loss at age 17...

six 12"s, in a truck, yeah i can see why you have lost some hearing.

Conflict · 12-02-2008, 04:40 PM

as for sound I dont mind stock speakers its just the sony CD player in it is really old and I even took it out to try and get it to work with no avail. but the only thing wrong besides that is the clear coat on the roof is peeling and the car doesnt have A/C(the car is originally from Oregon I believe),living the desert (120 degree summers) it is a pain...
