New Camaro owner here!!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Dedlydragoness · 08-09-2010, 08:15 AM

I sold all of my f-bodies a couple of years ago and have been without. I missed having a Camaro so much, I went out and got myself a 2010 LT Camaro. My goal was to get an SS but due to circumstances got an M6 LT and love it a lot. Even though she is missing 2 cylinders, she still packs a punch on the road.

I am looking to meet a lot of cool people to gain knowledge from and learn the new platform since I was used to being around the 3rd and 4th gens. Also looking forward to going to meets and local shootouts at the track.

Here are a few pics of her: http://s402.photobucket.com/home/ded...ness/allalbums

The problem with that is this is my daily driver, so I cant mod her to much or it will start breaking. I plan on getting something else next year to pound at the track on. LOL. I do want to install some mufflers next. Any idea on what can give me some bite, the car is way to quiet for my taste?

Rewind. Why is modding going to break the car? I mean my 'maro is my daily driver and I'm putting an Injen CAI, Hurst short throw, borla catback, and some long tube headers. They're not going to brake the car. I mean maybe brake it from being so badass but that's it. If anything I'll actually have better fuel economy and more horsepower after all those. It's a win win

Add CAI (Injen or Airaid) and Flowmasters AT axle back. You will have much better sound and a little more kick than stock. You might change your mind about the upgrade. I know those mods pushed my trade-up plans back a year or two.

No, I meant major mods, like heads and cam, turbos, supercharger etc, stuff like that. I plan on doing a CAI, mufflers (headers later) and other stuff down the line. When I worked in a shop before I saw people do major mods and their cars broke a lot.

I was thinking Flowmaster for the deep sound, but don't think I will get that with a V-6. I wanted to get an SS a few years down the line too, so wasn't going to do to much just basic mods, so could trade it in.
