Cool My 1st Camaro

I just got my first Camaro. There is a little bit of work but nothing I can't handle. It has a K&N air filter, shift kit, BBK headers, MSD optispark.

Same color as mine when I got it. Mine was wrecked though.

Looks like you picked up a pretty clean car.

That's what I thought, but it does say BBK on the headers. It has that multicolor/ gasoline on rain look to them.

The small jobs that are needed are: a driver side door pin, passenger side window motor. I want to turn up the sensitivity on the alarm but can't find the control ****.

I want to upgrade the torque converter, tranny cooler, tires, and eventually cam.

Nice car, looks in really good shape. Why not just drive it around for awhile before putting $$$ into it? Get a good idea of exactly what it needs. A couple of trips to the track and a few thousand miles should tell you things. I like to get a good feel for a car before I start spending.
