I drove 3 hours one saturday to look at one just like that near Columbus Ohio. Exact same car. Same price, same miles, 6sp, SLP. They told me it was flawless on the phone. I got there, got out of my car, and looked at it for literally 10 seconds and hopped back in my car. It looked like somebody tried to polish it with ******* sandpaper. It had the worst swirl marks I've ever seen on any car in my life. I was so happy on the way there thinking after months of looking I finally found exactly what I was looking for and at an exceptional price to boot. Then the totally opposite feeling on what seemed like a 6 hour drive home.

Beautiful sled, you got one hell of a steal. Enjoy!

that was an option when you purchased your camaro brand new at the dealership, mine doesn't have one either . . . another misconception is that all SS' came with leather interior but they didn't. good lookin SS!!!! take care of her

Thanks! the factory SLP option includes:

3-In cat back with duals
$1100 Bilstein shocks all the way around
Custom Fit car cover
IDK if it come with this but the car also had a carbon fiber SLP lid with K&N


I forgot to mention that i am a big time mustang fan. I have a nice 93 notch that i did an engine swap in when i was 17 (Just turned 18). the car is a 93 With an AOD and the motor was out of a 89. I added GT40-P heads, full exhaust, Systemax intake, and all the other stuff to go with it. I just picked up some 5 lug Bogarts with 10.5s out back and 5s up front. Im currently waiting to build the rear end, i have superior 5 lug axles (31 spline), c clip elims, 3.73 gears, and a detroit locker. i also ordered a TwEECer which will be here in a few days.



I cant keep anything stock! When i do mod this car i will be sure to keep all the original parts so i can return it to factory if i want. Once i get some money the first things i will be doing to it are the MGW shifter, Kooks headers with Y and a cat back of some kind
(all catless and 4in.), then the MTI G-1 cam with their tune. that should get me at least 400-RWHP.

I cant believe how hard these cars pull stock. the other day i wound it out in second and power shifted 3rd and it felt like i sprayed it with a 150 shot lol. I absolutely love these cars!

thanks for all your feedback guys, more pics coming soon!

i wish you luck on this part, if you ever plan to lower it for better handling you'll scrape on EVERYTHING and you don't need to spend alot on items to get 400RWHP . . . pacesetters with an offroad Y with a ported LS6 intake manifold and ported TB from TPIS, a 224 cam from thunder racing will get ya there if not really close. also new underdrive pulley set-up. GOOD LUCK
