What do you think of my camaro? (56k no way)
#21
only because you asked for opinions
well lets see here .... I've never liked ground effects or polished billet grilles so naturally I dont care for yours either (not tryin to be an @ss , im just sayin) I've always disliked carbon fiber hoods (if it were painted it wouldnt look that bad) I dont really care for the hood pins or the decals and I dont like your interior (no offense) but I like your paint and I like your wheels

You didn't mention what color you were getting the car painted, I'll assume it will be black like it is now. Once its painted and if you could align the hood better it will look so much better. I never like ground effects on these cars but maybe after the paint job it will blend in better. And yeah you shoud get rid of the hood pins. It doesn't look right with the wires poking through the gaps like that. Plus you wouldn't want them to scratch the new paint job. So... new paint and minus the hood pins should equal a pretty good looking car IMO. I also assume you will keep the same wheels as well.

The car has potential, but you have to do everything right. Get the hood aligned. Get rid of the sponsor stickers (unless they keep giving you free stuff). And stop arguing with the v8's fellas about who's faster. Over on the v6 forums we have a lot of guys (and girls) who are cammed and spraying, but the current v6 f-bod record holder is supercharged with a bit of the spray. Keep up the good work though, it looks like you have a lot of time invested into your ride.
Edit: I would also consider getting a rear disk brake conversion once you get the turbo in.

About the car? Since you asked... The interrior is hideous, gfx would be ok w/out the stickers, the the hood pins on a V6 make me laugh, and I wouldnt be surprised if the tag read "EMO".
I had a V6 camaro and kept it stock because it was a V6 Camaro. But i have seen a turboed V6 & w/ all of the work and money he had tied up in it, the best it did was like a 12.9. On a flip side, I know of a V6 turboed mustang in the 10's, so I guess anything is possible.

i say ONLY remove the stickers.. everything else is cool... GFX arent for everyone but a black car pulls them off a little better than say a red car.. black hides them a little more.. so keep it..
Hood is different.. carbon fiber is cool... looks fine..
wheels are good..
so .. remove the stickers and in my opinion its a nice car...

Stickers=RICE if they are not your sponsor. Put the tach where you can see it-unless your pasenger is the one shifting for you. Loose the hood. The whole point of carbon fiber is weight reduction and it still looks like *** when painted b/c you can still the weave. Hood pins are for pin on hoods. Loose the junk guages. Get a wideband.
Build the Turbo setup like a GNX. That's one V6 I respect. Quit wasting money on the BS and get the turbo.

Ditch the stickers, diamondplate, stereo stuff, and i would say hood pins, but your sorta stuck there without getting a new hood. At least paint the hood. And then id say youre looking good.
What have you dyno'd and what are the quarter mile times by the way? i didnt see any listed.

I voted I liked it because I actually READ YOUR POST, unlike some, and saw that the stickers were coming off...
I'm on the fence with the GFX (mainly because they look duller than the rest of the car) but feel that if you got a better set of gauge overlays and GOT RID OF THOSE HIDEOUS FLOORMATS your car would be nice !
