It's too bad GM had to put an IRS rear suspension on the new Camaro. Once again it's the achiles heel of the Camaro, only this time the rearend is weak AND heavy.
I wonder who is going to be the first to produce and market a 9" rear for the 5th gens? LOL.... Maybe I should get busy on that.

Wow, this intercooler is almost the perfect size. I wish it was a few inches longer though, then I could use my existing bumper grilles for air. But I think I'm going to be better off just cutting the black section out and letting it have as much air as it can get. Still need to brace the bottom, need to think up something for that still. I still need to drop the engine, I just don't have the steam for it yet.
And yeah it needs a bath, really bad

Yeah, that's our purple poney, it's gonna sit there until I feel like getting my nhra license, lol. Has a punched and stroked 351 cleveland (408 now), all forged inside.
And I don't like those billet grilles really, I'd rather have nothing there than one of those escalade things.

My thing with the new camaro is that for 40+k you can build a 4th gen to the hilt. I mean for out of the box power its great but lets be honest none of us is would just buy it and leave it alone..lol

It's the "latest and greatest" from GM, and some people can't live without it lol.... I wouldn't mind owning one, but they sure are heavy. Personally I'd still prefer a 05-06 GTO for a daily driver over a new Camaro. I don't care much for the seating position in the new Camaro's.
