Default Camaro rookie
I just got a camaro four months ago. It's just a V6 but anything is possible. I need some tips and pointers about how to get it V8 specs. Roughly 400HP.

Haha.....One of my friends has an R1 and the other an R6. So one asked around "How can I make my R6 as fast as an R1?" Was told "by selling the R6 and buying an R1."

i assume this is your only mode of transportation??. if so dont mess with it. leave it alone use it what its intended for and find a ls car to mod as a toy.
breaking your only form of transportation sucks and bumming rides or walking sucks even more.. just some advice take it for what it is.
