Nice. It looks like a pretty cherry ride. If you take a pic of the cans and tips we'll probably be able to ID that exhaust. Or a sound clip as they're all fairly unique in sound.

Nice! Ditch that front plate and make a proper heat shield for that intake and you'll be good to go....at least until the mod bug bites.

Stealth Gray is the best V1 color, although I may be slightly biased. Lol.

Is your Camaro a race car then? 'Cuz the V needs a lot more work than that to be proper.

The Camaro is a budget built street car. Should be a bottom 10sec car...

Nice car! I have the same color combo but couldn't take the grey carpet...black carpet and black console work much better for a DD

Get a nice intake tube... looks like they removed the stock box and put k and n filter... that factory tube is the restriction

Agreed, they were a little backwards in their approach. Should have left the box and replaced the tube. Now it's just a choked HOT air intake--but I can't talk, my car has a K&N with a shitty heat shield (bought it that way and don't care to spend the time/money fixing).

Finally got under it and looked at the exhaust it's a stock catback with flowmaster mufflers.. Even in stock form it's a blast to drive. Once the wife calms down I may add a few mods to the V

Buy a shifter before anything else. It'll make you love the car so much more.
