Default Today is a sad day.

I am going to sell my car today. I am selling it to my older brother for $500 more than I paid for it. I have put $4K+ into it. I don't think it has sunk in just yet. I am going to really miss my car. I will be hot rodless for a few months.
I am saving up for either a new Cobra or a used Vette. Leaning towards the Cobra, as some of you might already know. Know this, if I do get a Cobra I will not become a "Ford" person. I will always be GM at heart.

Mods you can move this if you want to. I posted it here because this is where I spend most of my time.

A final salute to my 1999 Black A4 Camaro SS #1880.

At least you're keeping it in the family, and take it for a spin once in a while.

Sorry to see the SS go. You'll be happy with the Cobra if you get it.

You'll be a car person like me.

I know how you feel. I have gone back and forth with switching back to a Mustang because you just can't beat the performance of the 03/04. I'm a Chevy redneck and I hated the two years I owned my 93 GT, BUT, if I happened to get an 03/04, I know it'd only be temporary until Chevrolet gave us another Camaro.

113mph is pretty good IMO for 360rwhp at full weight. Nothing wrong with that.

Sorry to see it go. I've only had my car up and running for 1 day of the past 3 weeks (the day I ran w/ the Z06), so I know what it's like to not have the SS around. I've been put-putting around in a beat up ol' '87 Volvo Station Wagon. 0-60 in 20 seconds, brakes fade now and then- gotta resort to using the handbrake sometimes . The irony is that during these weeks, I've driven next to the cars I beat up on all the time on the highway during my commute. Sweet revenge for them.

I have every intention of trading my Z on either a used 03/04 Cobra or a used Z-06 when its paid off in 18 mos. Probably a Z06. And having built on (and driven) one of my customers 617 rwhp Procharged Z06 in the last few weeks didnt hurt that conviction one bit.

Trapping 109-110 with headers, hpipe, cai, and intake spacer. Should be around 112 when I get tuned. Just a little 4.6L
