Default 250+ hp in one mod!
I have posted already, but I thought I might as well make one of these things. I'm 16 (almost 17) and I went from my first car, which was a 98' 200sx, to a 2000 SS. I'm not very mechanically inclined, but I do learn fast. My Camaro SS has a SLP short shifter, Hurst shift ****, and Bassani headers + catted Y. The mods came with my car before I got it. I bought it from some old rich guy who sold it cheap for 9300$ and It has 58k miles on it.

Anyways here is my car and yes I'm trying to sell the wheels. I know they're beyond cheesy.

yeah the guy also threw in some of the original ZR1 5 spoke SS wheels, but the tread is gone. The wheels I want are some black camaro 10 spoke wheels. I really want to see if anyone will trade me their stock 10 spoke wheels for my stock zr1 ss wheels.

Here is a picture of my friend's old 99SS.

That car is so freaking sweet. My plane is to take some of those 10 spokes, and powder coat it flat black. Then I want to get some black projector lights and some black euro taillights.
