Default My new Car..

This is it..








It started life as a V6 car, I got it for $1500, got the SS Hood & Spoiler, got it painted and been cruising it.

It's a basic option stripper Car..this thing doesn't have ****..lol. I'm keeping the AC, full interior is in it too.

I swapped in my 408/Built T56, I put my Moser in it with 3.89 Gears. Exhaust is 3" TD's with Xpipe. It's sitting on TT2's, 17x9.5 in front, 17x11 in the back with 315's..

Basically it's everything that was in my red car, just now it looks good.


I'm about to wash it so more pics will come..

I would go back to stock headlights, IMO. Not a fan of those at all.

Otherwise, it's a great looking car. I love silver Camaros with TT2s so much that I have one too.

1500? Sweet stuff, even though its a stripper you can always upgrade interior stuff later if you wanted.

Thanks guys..

I paid $1500 for the entire car as a running/driving V6 M5 car, so installing my 408/T56 setup was a breeze. There was very little wiring needed, then I properly calibrated everything with my HP Tuners. Then I sold the V6/T5 combo to a friend..sold this n that and pretty much made all my money back, plus enough to cover the hood, spoiler, lights and other stuff. In essence it was a free car.

As promised here are more pics after a few hours detailing it..










I kept the LT1 Tail Lights.. They look alot better.

Oh, 3.89 Gears FTMFW!

Dude, that looks friggen awesome.

I have almost all the options, and often wish I had none.
Much less to worry about, and saves on weight.

Looks like you flipped the right car in the right manor.

Good job bro.
