you can also run use cooking oil from restaurants in it. you could probably get it for free and use it for fuel and it would not cost as much as diesel.
and hell yeah i would buy won. huge power potential with them.

i can honestly say....yes....i would!!!

cai,tuner, lol a smoke stack....and it should be puttin down 450-500 rwhp and 700+ rwtq.....but i hope this camaro would get a 14 bolt under it lol

i think the big three need to up the ante and start offering alot of engine options....we dont need ****** navagation or a back up camera in the camaro....but a 400+ci lsx option would be nice lol....or maybe a heads and cam package from gmpp orderd through the factory.... just some wishfull thinking lol

Not if it were the last car on earth. I'd ride my bicycle. Wait a minute, I'm riding my bicycle half the time already...

you cant just "use" cooking oil. like just straight pour cooking oil in your tank. it doesnt work like that. theres a whole process to go through. anyone seen the episode of HorsepowerTV where they did it? i forget what the entire thing actually entails but its not that hard, you jsutt have to get the equipment and materials.

Yeah I would buy a diesel Camaro in fact I have one, it's an absolute blast to drive. It's fast, fun, and best of all it gets 40+ mpg.

Being a non-turbo, i doubt its *a blast to drive*. I would suspect that the handling will be on par with an old pinto now that you put an extra 400ish pounds over the front end. I see you didn't do any suspensions upgrades as evident by the front tires having no space between the wheel wells. Cool project though, just need to add a turbo!
