Hello From KC, MO!

Just signed the paperwork on a new 2015 1LS Red Camaro...

Super excited. Trading in my Mini Cooper to something that has warranty, and more my style.

So-that being said, what should first upgrades be? I am seeing most getting the cold air and throttle controller, and possibly exhaust.

I dont do any drag strips, or track racing, just playing around the streets, daily driving, etc.

Thanks, and happy to be here!

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Not at all. There are at least three members on this site using the same name as on AR15.com.

I am one of them.

Hey Derek1387. Im also from the KC area. Independence, MO to be exact. I also just bought a '15. Mines a white 1LT. I guess its just a package difference? I don't know. First Chevy Ive ever owned. If you get some good upgrade tips, let me know. I am also looking to upgrade my 15 without voiding the warranty. Welcome to the group. Havent been here but a day myself. Hope to gain some valuable info, tips and tricks for this baby!

Ahh-same ID on all of the forums I am on. Just makes it easier. I still have people going "Are you the guy from RC Tech?"...i havent been on that forum in like 8 years haha.


Looks like Catch Can first....then Intake and exhaust for me!

That being said, picked up the car yesterday. Attached is a pic!




My first red car. Never liked red...until I saw it on this!
