FS: 98 Camaro SS Supercharged in NC 475rwhp NOW 12k FIRM I'm considering selling my car. Its a white 98' SS with 86k on the clock.
List of mods from previous owner:
"Vortech Supercharger
Vortech Power Cooler
Long tube Hooker Headers
Borla Cat back Exhaust
Bilstien Revalved Shocks
Eibach Pro Springs
Lakewood Lower Control Arms
Lakewood Adjustable Panhard Bar
SS SLP Grille
"Whistler" Headlights
35th Anniversary Scoop Stripe
Berger Panel
Retro SS Badges
Clear Corners
Billet Antenna
SLP White Faced Guages
In dash sub
Floorboard Speakers
3.73 Gears
475RWHP/455RWTQ @ 6PSI"
Only mods since I've had the car
LS7 Clutch
LS7 Flywheel
Level 2 T-56 6 Speed by Tick Performance
Car had cats installed to pass emissions here but I have a jett hot y pipe in the trunk ready to go on if emissions are not an issue for you.
Couple of things about the car...
-About a month ago I broke the cooler that cools the water for the air to water powercooler on the supercharger, I was in the Walmart parking lot and pulled a little to far into a parking spot and it kissed the curb. Vortech wants 295 for a new one, but its just an "oil cooler" personally it would be much smarter to just ebay something and throw it on there. You may also be able to patch it, I don't know a whole lot about that kind of stuff so I'm not really sure. Car still runs and drives just fine, and will easily make it back to wherever the hell you live with no issues, but if you are going to be getting into boost often going to the track or doing anything more then causal grandma driving I'd HIGHLY recommend this be repaired because the intake temps will probably skyrocket.
-Occasionally the power steering whines when you start the car, seems to only be on cold mornings though. It's done this since I bought it and by the look of the fluid it probably just needs to be flushed but it never bothered me enough to address.
-Some light spider cracking on the front bumper, some rock chips, headlights are starting to glaze. All of this stuff is minor and I can't imagine any of it being remotely near a deal breaker because overall the car looks great but I'm just trying to be honest and mention everything I know.
I rarely drive now that I bought a motorcycle.
REDUCED TO 12K FIRM!

Few things I forgot to mention
I believe the PO told me the supercharger had been put on like 7k ago, I've put 4 or 5 thousand on the car since I've owned it.
I believe the tires still have a decent amount of meat on them, I'll have to double check before I say how much...definitely far from bald though.
weather sucks but heres a couple of teasers...

I believe the supercharger install and tune was done by Hawks Performance in Easley SC.
I'm planning to buy my sisters 96 tercel in a month or so and if I sell the car I'd like to get into flying this summer so unless you have an ultralight aircraft for trade I'm probably not interested. If I end up dropping the flying idea I will be looking for something like an fx35 or a tbss.

This is my old car and I can vouch that it is a nice car. The S/C was installed by a shop in Atlanta,Ga back in 05 I think. The tune was done by Hawks Performance and they also installed the headers. GL with the sale!

More pictures. Picture of rim is the only imperfection in the rims, no rash period. Sorry there is a lot of pollen here right now and the car is a bit dirty.
