Cool! Good job using the search too and finding my post from 6 years ago!

I haven't been on this board in quite a while so I'm glad you send me a PM or I probably wouldn't have seen your question for about 6 months. LOL
PM returned.

And now I've owned my Camaro for 15-1/2 years!!!

Yeah I've been searching for quite a while on a picture of something I want and your car really stands out to me! The picture of your car I found on google then had to do a reverse image on it to see where I can find that picture and that's when it sent me to the website and I had to scroll until I found it. Lol I am definitely going to invest in a set of those wheels and tires and lower the car!

Nice to see another original owner on here. Interesting that I bought mine in Charlotte as well. Worth the 3.5 hour drive to get the color combo that I wanted.

My god you have some gorgeous cars. Your Camaro still looks like showroom condition, I bet that thing is worth some money in that condition.

Also, is that a LS5/M21 Chevelle?

Very cool but actually I bought mine at Biggers Chevrolet in Elgin, Illinois as that’s where I lived back then.

Thanks and my Chevelle is an LS5 (not numbers matching) and Turbo 400 automatic.

Cool! I didn't have the stripes back then nor was it lowered.
Here's a pic with my car in it from the 2004 Power Tour. Talk about prime parking! That's way back when Long Haulers got special parking, but not this special without connections

Great picture. Was this at the drag strip location?

That looks like a GMMG in the pic too with the light blue? The hugger orange and the yellow ones are unsusual too.

I remember there was a police car 4th gen (B4C) on the tour that had full lights and everything

I keep looking at this pic reminiscing on the time as my LS Camaro hayday.
In the picture are many amazing 4th gen LS cars! The hugger orange and Lemans blue ones are 2002 ZL1s GMMG phase III C5R 600hp, several GMMG Hot Rod Edition cars, and maybe a Berger SS. Actually one of the yellow cars is also a ZL1 so that's 3 in the pic! And yes the B4C fully lit was the silver one to the right between the yellow cars. Some of my friends still own these cars. I'm not sure which location, but I believe it's a track.

Another cool thing about this pic is the car and people at the bottom. The car is Chicayne built by Troy Trepanier and Rad Rides by Troy. This is the car that really put Rad Rides in the forefront of the Pro Touring scene and high end car building/fabrication. Troy is actually standing in front of the car in the black shirt. Very cool.

That's awesome there are so many rare 4th gens in the photo. The Chicayne I actually had a poster of mounted in my room as a teenager which was about the time of this tour.

I was 15 years old when I did the hot rod power tour with my dad and I drove most of the way.

Dont see many gmmg or zl1's ever. Not even on here.
