Finally a Camaro Owner Hey everyone, the name's Vinny, and I've been looking for a '98-'02 4th gen with t-tops, 6 speed, and under 80k miles for about 2 years. I finally came across a '99 Mystic Teal Metallic Camaro with 69k miles last week and jumped on it and am extremely happy. It's been my dream car for awhile and now I can park with my other F-Body friends at the car shows I go to. The car is beautiful and she absolutely rips. Here she is!

I was thinking an SS hood with a charcoal painted scoop, drop, wheels, slp powerflo exhaust, slp intake, tint, HID's, among many other things lol. It never ends. Those are the major things though.
I'm very excited to own this vehicle, I absolutely love it.

Man do i know that feeling....
My father was the director of the Fbody assc. for out local chapter when i was a kid. We would always have meets like 1-2 times a month... So naturally, when i turned 16... i wanted a camaro. Didnt get one considering they were "too fast" so my awesome dad got me a 99 eclipse GST... which was funny because after its turbo upgrade it smoked his H/C 94 z28 all the time... I ended up selling the car and getting my current droptop SS for like 5k... I love this car!
So yea... lol Glad to have you aboard.
Btw, FIRST engine mod i would recomend is a lid. You can find them on here used for pretty cheap. i got my MTI clear lid for like..65 shipped lol

And thank you!I got pretty lucky getting a beautiful 03 Dodge Ram from my Dad for my first car. I won "best ride" superlative with it in high school, from which I just graduated BTW. After buying my own Camaro I really appreciate the hard work he had to do to pay for the truck. Luckily, I still have both cars!
Thanks for the advice. I was definitely going to do that and get a smooth bellow and filter. I was reading Camaro magazine and they were testing out a 2000 z28, and just an intake on the LS1 is good for 9 hp to the wheels!
Here's my truck: (got a great deal on the Cragar's off ebay)

Yep great idea. That what I did with my truck, I built a CAI out of PVC pipe from home depot and 2.5" couplers. Works and looks great!
