first off....dmnspd i'm not as inexperienced as you may think groing up around camaros my whole life, my dad has owned over 80 diff 67-69 camaros. and before this 2000 camaro my car was a 70 camaro wiht a 383 stroker. and as far as drag radials we have about five pairs of slicks laying aorund in the garage.
i remember saying back when i got my car that i would baby it and not race around town, well look at my car now, two broken rims, hole in the oil pan, bent lower control arm, and minor body damage, but i did learn one thing from all this, trying to pass two semis before my lane merged with their lane while its raining and driving on bald tires.......NEVER AGAIN!!!

Then again, since you have so much track experience, you should have been able to make an educated guess on what you'd run.

anybody know if you have to get a tune after puting a ls6 intake on? also i was looking at a pair of bolt on slp sub frame connectors but was wondering how hard they are to intsall. i heard there might be problems with the clearance with the loudmouth exhaust.

Verdad Gallardo i see you already have a tune, but typically boltons dont need a tune. i would wait until you do something major like cam/heads/stall to do a tune. because with those you will need it

it is rather pointless to shake a fist at him and say "never ever ever ever race on the street", give me a break.
seriously, but i mean i have had my car for like 2 weeks so.....but i have done plenty of on ramp burnouts and such.

Dude don't BS yourself! I told my dad the exact same thing when he bought me my SS. You live up to what you say for a while, but after that you get comfortable with the car and one thing leads to another. And if its got any kind of power its like you got something to prove to the car next to you that revs their V6 up at you. Its a great car be carefull and enjoy it. Oh yeah and dont go anywhere in it where you dont want to be noticed because its gonna turn more heads than you can imagine! Have fun!

I have a wife and three kids depending on me for financial support. I can't afford to lose my license or make my wife a widow over a stupid street race.
