Default Been here for a while...

Well, I became a member of this forum to try and find an SS. I finially found one a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier! I use to talk crap about guys who bought pre-modded cars instead of doing it themselves, but I guess I need to shut up about that now. I bought it from "Bonus" on here and he did some great work to the car. It's got pretty much everything done to it that I had wanted to do and I got it at a GREAT price, so maybe pre-mod isn't SO bad. Here's what I got:

2001 Camaro SS w/26.5K miles (2K since engine mods)

Factory options and equipment:

SLP SS Grille
Hurst shifter
Leather
T-tops
Cruise
Power everything
SLP CME exhuast

Modifications:

Engine
Absolute Speed 2.5 5.3 Heads (flowed 314cfm @ .600 lift)
LG motorsports G5X3 on 114LSA cam
TSP double roller timing chain
ASP Underdrive Pulley
Ported LS6 Oil pump
FLP 1 3/4" Ceramic Coated Headers (currently w/ offroad pipes but have Hi-flow cats)
Cometic Head Gaskets
ARP Head Bolts
SVT 30lb SVO Injectors
MTI clear Lid
Holley Powershot Filter
Custom dyno tuned

Handling
Strano Performance Hollow Sway bars (35mm front, 22mm rear)
Koni SA performance shocks w/lower perch mod

Appearance
Custom CME valence blended into bumper for seamless fit
Z06 Chrome wheels (18x9.5 front, 18x10.5 rear)
Nitto 555 Extreme Tires (275/40-18 front, 285/35-18 rear)
Custom painted brake calipers w/ Camaro logo
15% Tinted Windows

The only things I've got planned are some cross drilled rotors and a power antenna. And new rear tires soon since I'm not very conservative with the 413 rwhp.
