Came across this for sale up in San Francisco. Cars only got 2 real draw backs for me. Idk if I could DD this loud of a car paint wise and its a A4.




Don't mind the 20's there gone. Just the pics he had.
This is more of what I would go after looks wise.

Right now it just has the ugly stock Camaro 5 spokes on it, not the ZR1 style.

Nothing wrong with the color at all IMO. Just put a nice/proper set of wheels on it and your good to go.

As for A4 vs M6, its really personal preference. I personally prefer manual cars for DD duty or to "cruise" in and Stalled Auto's for race duty.

Not hating at all, I just love manual more fun IMHO. A stalled auto is a whole other story but I wouldn't want to DD a stalled auto.

i would go for it, different color and looks to be in awesome shape. even slap some black ZR1s on there and it would look clean.

Having an A4 does have its downsides, but add a 3200-3600 stall and you will be having some fun!

How much work/money would it be to do a 6speed conversion? Haven't really looked into it. I think I'm going to get it.

I'd go for it. Different wheels and change the stall converter.

I think I'm going to. If I get tired of it I can always trade it down the road or sell it. Just wish it was a M6 damn.

I'm not sure, I'll have to ask.

I'll survive with a A4 for awhile until I do a M6 swap haha.

That and a set of black Z06's like the one picture and I'll be set.

Yeah the color is REALLY starting to grow on me. Its got a few slight key marks on the front right fender and hood from an angry ex I guess and he's not sure what brand paint or where it was done. If possible I need to find the previous owner to find all that out.
