It's always hard to get rid of that first car, especially something like a camaro. Hope to see pics of another something fast with that 8500 soon.

Yeah, I don't think I would have ever gotten rid of mine if it wasn't for the giant white truck that butt-F@$ked it. I don't ever want to get rid of the camaro now.

Yeah, I never would have gotten rid of my first camaro, a 1998 z28, but I managed to wrap that one around a tree. I still miss that car to this day. But my 1997 definitely eases the pain a bit.

Buy a clean LT1 shell for a grand or so and build a 600hp LQ4/L92 with the leftovers.
