Decomissioned: Turbocharged 3rd Camaro Hey guys I know a lot of you on this forum and have raced with some of you for the past oh 5 years or so now.
I thought Id post this up and say that Im getting out of my turbocharged IROC. Im parting the thing out and making back as much of my investment as I can.
Most of it revolves around the fact that Im 25 and still live at home and I feel that it is time for me to strike out on my own. While heads up racing is fun and my car has been quite a project, it has also been quite an investment as well and most of the parts are some of the best of what they are.
I can recoupe a lot of what I have spent and most of it is already finding a home in a friend's car so watch out for another fast turbocharged 3rd gen down the road.
Im not sick of cars but this one sure has wore on me and the money I can make out of it to pay some debt and get me where I need to be sure is appealing.
It's been fun guys.
Another heads up racer going bottom up. LOL

Re: Decomissioned: Turbocharged 3rd Camaro I pulled the heads off after the N vs S race and just got them torqued down last week. LOL See how motivated Ive been? It was even before the race I lost motivation. Its been building for quite some time.

Re: Decomissioned: Turbocharged 3rd Camaro Yes I can. Im enjoying the trouble free drive back and forth to work for a change. Its nice to not be messing with something. That may change down the line but for now, its staying as it is.

Re: Decomissioned: Turbocharged 3rd Camaro Good luck Curt. I hope you still post up man. I gave up drag racing years ago only to get back into it later in life. There is still hope for you lol.
It's a money pit.

Re: Decomissioned: Turbocharged 3rd Camaro I have no desire to mod the thing. I bought it with a small cam and headers on it already. I just cant drive a lick. LOL
its fun just driving around. And it was fun to pull into the track after cruising with the AC on, fill out card and get in line with a helmet in the back seat. I sure do miss those days. Now they are back.
