My camaro is an all year DD so only upgrades for now are snow tires on snowflakes.

The to do list as I go along:
Sound deadening
Finish the ebony interior conversion (new carpet, T/A door panels, rear seats).
E-cutout on stock exhaust.

Up here they salt the roads and I refuse to drive my car in the salt

I'm still fixing the spots from the previous owners driving them in the winter, besides 415 rwhp and ice do not mix, thats why I have a Jeep Cherokee

that thing will go almost anywhere LOL

My car has been in storage since Sept. here in MN. I doubt I'll take it out until Aug. next year(just no time to drive it). I had plans of doing a few things to it, but I've come to realize that I need to sell it and buy something that isn't such a big deal to never drive. Last two years I've put about 800 miles on it, and still continued to mod it. Doesn't make any sense.

Although, really all I can do to the thing is build a motor so I can add more boost.

HAHA its funny how that works isn't it. I may switch to a setup like that in the future, but I'm going to try better rotors and pads in the LS1 calipers and see how that feels
