Congrats on the new old car 
Very sharp, who doesn't love old Camaro's anyways?
I've always wanted a 1st Gen project Camaro. The only difference is I'm still going to keep my current car.
I think blending new technology with older vehicles is awesome, it should be a fun project.

Thanks for confirming that you are a dyno queen that doesn't race
, hell you probably never even used the spray.Danno,
Thanks, I'm avoiding the project stigma as it's a nice car as it and will just have steady diet of improvements but won't have to sit in a body shop for 6 months.
Mods planed for this year - suspension upgrades, 4L60E install (is that ok with you ESP
or will that "ruin" the car even before the LS-1 goes in?) and spray.Next year - LS1

That car is nice. Do you mind if i ask how much you picked it up for??
My dad and i really want to get a 1st gen or early 2nd gen camaro (or nova, or chevelle for that matter) to put his engine in and restore. Its a 396 bored out alittle, out of a true 1970 SS chevelle. hes had it since he got rid of the chevelle which was over 20 years ago. From what he says its a beast (better cam, heads, and pistons). Just wish we could find a nice body at a decent price.

I'm looking forward to towing with 650ft/lbs of TQ 
I hear with just a flash programmer you can add another 130TQ to it.
Must..... Resist......

On a positive note it'll be nice to have a 4x4 in the winter

Must..... Resist...... We took an '06 Duramax out for a ride and all I can say is holy hell. The truck is deffinatly fun and burns the tires up from a low roll stock. From what I was told they are suposed to get a 750ft/lbs (375hp) for '07. I wouldn't mind having a RCSB dually.

I have the Cobra and the Lightning now, in 8-10 weeks The Lightning will belong to the Chevy Dinner and I'll have a new 2500HD Silverado in my Driveway.
So I'll have the Cobra and the Truck.

Nope I sold my Limited and TTA. The stuff was just getting too old to race on a regular basis. Just isn't enough parts left for those things, they are getting to be too old.
Honestly since I bought my Cobra I haven't missed them at all.

The kind UPS man brought me a Christmas present today from NPD
A front spoiler, rear Z/28 emblem, new floor mats, some weather stripping and a new front license plate bracket.
The front spoiler really makes the car.
