Where are you located? Damm, my car has never been in the snow. My old 84 Camaro spend 5 years in Mass. She did not like the snow.

It is almost 80 here in GA.
Nice ride.

Nice looking ride. Must be a rare car over there. What are you paying for fuel?
Since you will break loose on dry pavement, I would seriously spent some time practicing dealing with wet/icy roads. I candy a** around every time it rains.
HP+RWD+slick streets=body work! FTL!

Kinde of.. but we got allot of Fancy mercedes and Audis like RS6 Dhalbeck with about 500bhp.. and we got a couple of Skylines and supras, and a hand full of Corvette C5 autos. Allong with to many Supru Imprezas and Evolutions.

So i the camaro have to work hard to stand upp to all of them.. but with a blower later on, I will be in the top game.

I pay about $8 a galon. I might convert to E85 Ethanol. But i think i do that when I install the blower or Twin Turbos.. Because then i might be able to go to 10psi with out replacing the pistons...

My ASR buton dont work so I pulled the fuse so i am able to controll the drifts..

By the way.. the switch for the ASR was not working.. so i had to pull the fuse so I could controll the car when the tyres spun..
