Damn, modding this car gets REALLY addicting. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi, my name is S3XPanther, and I'm a mod addict.

So now even the little things get to me, as I've just ordered a Drake shifter (looks amazing btw). I never used to care about things as insignificant as the shifter, but now I've got the bug BAD.

If this wasn't bad enough, a full ARH system goes on in a couple of months. Then, hopefully everything (funds especially lol) will be in order for a serious summer rebuild. I'm talking heads, hefty cam, FAST intake, throttle body, TC, and maybe even a new rear end.

Unfortunately, however, it probably won't stop there. Hopefully I don't get the mod bug as bad as DangeruSS.

Anybody else feel this way?

yes . . . .

There's always stuff people like us want to improve and make it our own. Most people around me don't understand. But yes I have it bad, but I think it's great!

Agreed. Bought my car 3 months ago and said I would keep it stock, $10k later and I'm not even close to done.

Yea, that's pretty close to what I'm looking at.

camaro_RS · 12-11-2011, 06:52 PM

Yep, this is the first car I've ever done anything to. Never been a "car" guy. I've never even changed oil in a car before this and now I've done more mods (albeit some very minor) than I can count on my hands. Very, very addicting to try and improve the performance of this car and to try and make it somewhat one of a kind.

I'd rather be a Mod addict than a crack addict!!

Yep

NateSS · 12-11-2011, 07:28 PM

I know how you feel man!! I'm an addict as well.

The wife even keeps a list of all the mods i've done along with $$$ amounts. I'm convinced she'll use it as leverage for something in the future.

Seperate checking accounts are a must.

Hell, try modding two cars! Everytime I do a lil something to my SS, my wife wants a new look to her Beamer. Her 740Li was twice (almost 3 times) what I paid for my SS. She's got all the bells and whistles, I got all the muscle.
