Paint is in great shape. Finish is smooth. Used Zaino since 2002.

About 410 rwhp, 417 rwtq on motor. On the bottle 580 rwhp, 645 rwtq.
According to my builder the NA numbers are about 10-15 hp low due to piston ring gapping. Apparently the ring gap is looser when building a nitrous motor.

Looking at buying an Infiniti M45 in the near future. Over the last couple of years I've been getting away from the muscle car scene. My priorities are changing the older I get and with a family (and 2 year old) the Camaro just isn't fitting into my future plans.
Believe me, I will miss this car as I have almost treated it like family for the last 8 years. It was one hell of a grocery getter, thats for sure
. It's just time to move on to better things.

Bump for a Great deal!...I know the builder's reputation of the car here in San Diego...He is known for being very meticulous and thorough (not cheap either..lol)...I am sure this Camaro is built right!
