Until I started meeting other people from this forum I felt really good about my ride. People compliment my exhaust sound a lot, I even had a guy with a jag XKR ask me about my exhaust and say he wishes his sounded like mine.
After meeting others at the Ale House show, I realized I have a lot of work to do.
South florida has a lot of performance shops, and a ton of modded cars.
When checking out other camaro's, first thing I look for is the tail lights... I really don't like the new tail light's at all. It also lets me know where else I need to look in case the badging is removed or faked.
Seeing the plastic inserts in the rims is a dead giveaway, I used to have the LS so I know immediately it's a v6. Then if it's 2013 down I look for the mail slot, 2014 up the hood vents. Either way I don't have to even lean over to see if the exhaust is stock, the OEM mufflers stick out like a sore thumb.
Most of the time you can tell if they put any work into the car just by listening to it run also. Exhaust seems to be only like #2 or #3 on peoples list of mods (after CAI, and maybe PTB). I can get a pretty good idea if I'm faster then them from just those things. I haven't been wrong yet (it'll happen one day though lol)
