Default New car!
so i picked up a 95 lt1 camaro hardtop, a4. the car has zero mods! if you can believe that. got it real damn cheap.
the only downsides to the car,
1 it has 170k miles on it.
2 a wrist pin decided it didnt like its place in the engine anymore, and like to talk.lol

anyway i plan on rebuilding the car with bolt ons for my gf to start hitting the track with me.
should be a fun winter project
oh and another down fall its fuc%ing purple.lmao

who cares what color it is if the price is right! since you need to rebuild i would port and polish the heads, or at least throw a cam and some rockers on it
