Sweet Pics!

Well I'm just about done with the Camaro for a while, I'm moving in 2 months, and just dumped $1600 into the mustang's suspension for a full drag build-up, you can check it here if you like...
Drag suspension build
But I thought I'd share a few pics of my Camaro in it's current stage. In the future I'd like to go 383, but for now I'm focusing on the 'stang.

Although I'd never have a car that low, I think it looks pretty cool. It might look better with some different rims too.

when i bought my car it had a bra on it, the rest of the body and paint were very good so i just assumed that under the bra would be nice too. I got home and the first thing I did was take it off... paint was missing in a large area like it hit something and the bra just left scratches from being on there for so long. even with the paint missing and scratches i still think it looks better with the bra off.

Over time the vibrations from the engine can shake the bra and make it grind on the paint, slowly wearing it away.

THis is not a flame

Nothing personal nidyanazo but these are not sweet pics at all. Photos taken in the driveway or parked on the street with other cars in the background are just lazy. Show us that the car can roll and park it up on the grass at your local park. You have no excuse living in sunny California with that pretty ocean and palm trees everywhere.

Did you take out the springs to make your car lighter? I see you finally came to your senses and put the hood back on.

Ah, I should have titled the thread boring/lame pics. My bad.
Sorry to trick you.

-Evilcartman: I guess you missed my old thread where I cut the springs.

See what happened was, I got bored of the 305's lackluster performance. I still think a thirdgen camaro is one of the all-time best looking cars ever, but I just didn't want to go any further with it. I just got to like the ford 5.0 and it's aftermarket. Now with this new suspension setup I'm gunning for low, low 13's. With n20 (when I can find an extra $500) I looking for 12's.
It would take a ****load of time/$/effort for me to do this with my camaro.
I do not want to throw a 350 in it just yet. ($) So here are plain pictures of a regular old camaro.

hmm i love how every mustang guy runs "low 13s". and at the track when they all look at my grand national and say " does that monte carlo have the 305 in it?" nah its just a 6 i dont know what your talking about the aftermarket . you can get a bolt on NO2 kit for a camaro just like you can for a mustang- i really dont understand the reasoning behind that statement about the aftermarket.

Damm low..hehe..


Stang aftermarket parts are 10x Cheaper then TPI parts. You can get a COMPLETE uper and Lower intake for a 5.0 for what just our TPI lower cost.

I miss my 89LX.(GT40 heads and Inatke,B303 Cam,Some juice, full exh....)

anyways... The camaro has potential. Clean it up paint it.
