Default My new 97 SS

Just got this last week...its a relief to be back into a Camaro, the 04 Celica GTS was nice...but I'd rather have the power :-)




My neighbor in the house behind the boat has a 96 SS.

Nothin for a lil while, its financed, so I don't really wanna mod a vehicle that old when financed. But first will be longtubes and other basics like a 160 thermo, skip shift, air/egr deletes.

Last december, I messed up the engine, was goin through a jug of coolant every few days and burnin gas to the tune of 9 mpg hwy (fully tuned), so I had a moment of weakness and got rid of it for an 04 Celica GTS...best little car I've ever owned, but I have to have the power and I really don't see the point of moddin a 4 banger
