this was my old ride...82 malibu wagon that pulled 12.8s on street tires. She was quick, fun, and could fit a queen size in the back.

ummm i got in a big car accident in late august (just started walkin a couple weeks ago) and now my parents dont want me driving a fast car anymore. Originally they wanted me in either a big truck, or an old boat. I was trying to get a 64 caddy but that didnt work out and im not big on 4x4s so i traded the wagon for this camaro and some other stuff to a buddy of mine who blew the engine after 3 days.

So basically it's your average case of "they didn't want me to have a fast car anymore so I broke down and got a stock camaro" syndrom.

"except mines sporting centerlines" those wheels on there are corvette stingray wheels, they came with the car but apparently they're fairly hard to find
i think after the z is washed and waxed it will look a lot better. im also planning on getting the wheels powdercoated black, and tinting everything with 5%. Kinda going for a stealth mode approach on this one. I just got a flowmaster catback and a 3:73 posi rear end for free so im thinkin ill throw those on there and that will be it for "performance."

pretty much ya...basically i live under their roof so im under their rules type thing. Im more into having a loud stereo in the car than the car itself being fast anyway, and to do both is very pricey.

On a side note, where did you pick up the rear end and posi? I want to get one but I can't afford to break the bank doing it.
