My First Camaro/Car
Hello I am new to this forum....but anyways here is a picture of my 88' Camaro. This is a kinda old pic, I bought it off a guy for $500 dollars. I have had it for about a year. Specs - 1988 Camaro 2.8l v6 184k miles, runs like a dream. Nothing has been down in this pic, but i resently added a Raven Performace Exhaust System with 3 inch pipes. Also cut the boxes out of the intake system and put in a couple of K&N Filters. The car is pretty stock except with what I listed... I plan on keeping the car for a while, since well It is my first car. Tell me what you think!

Hooray, another just like me. Young and first car is a 2.8L V6 Camaro. I love mine (the chicks love it too 
).
It always cracks me up when some guy (who is usually driving a POS family car) says "man you're car would be so much cooler if you had a v8 in it!". I look them right in the eye and say "Yeah, but I bet you didn't have a Camaro for YOUR first car". That usually shuts them up pretty quick.

Looks great, and you have the shorty spoiler. I still have my first car, ah the good ole 2.8 I love the car no matter what anyone says about the motor. May not be fast but at least she's pretty

Welcome,
Wow, looks great, specially for that price. Hmm, how's the driver's side fender look? I need a new red one.

Welcome, and nice ride. For 500 bucks, someone will be feeling sorry in 10 years for selling that.
Reap the benefits, and if you do drop in a V-8, tell no one, they will wonder... Sleeper heaven.
