You're almost done with mods aren't you? Just headers and ported manifold? And that's pretty much it for performance mods right?

I tried really hard to find me some nice 18 in wheels I liked for my Camaro but I just could not find any that I liked & could reasonably afford. I love the look of my wheels but do wish they made more options in 18 in. I did keep my 1LT wheels too.

We managed to get our best time ever in the 1/8th mi this past weekend, came in 3rd overall and I beat a ZL1. He was a new owner & was having a hard time launching it. But a win is a win right? I did also take the trophy for best wheels. sooooooooooooooo

The brushed 18" tsw nurburgrings would have looked really good on a RJT. I saw a set this past weekend on a RJT and they looked outstanding

I have really been thinking about going with TSWs Nurburgrings but if I did it would be in 20in. It would be nice to have some lighter wheels but I'm more of a show than go even though I like to get on it every now and then.

I agree with you. If I invest in wheels, they will be 20s and will be my "show" wheels. But since I do drag this car, I also care about the performance aspect of it. But after talking to a few people, I'll probably just invest in a lightweight 18" wheel and mount drag radials to it and have those as my drag wheels

Man I can not wait to hit the strip with my new mods this year. Unfortunately the closest place doesn't open till mid May grr.

lscamaro · 04-17-2013, 09:32 PM

Wow, mid may?

Ours stays open all year...

Of course in the summer it hits like 110 so it does no good to go then lmao

lscamaro · 04-17-2013, 09:33 PM

I'm thinking about investing in a go-pro to record runs at the strip and really just for fun but man are they expensive!

Gonna go start counting my pennies!

Yea, we had a late winter so it pushed back their opening day a little and then they decided to redo the track haha.

I already have some mods planned out for Christmas

I really need to decide if to keep going performance or cosmetic... oh the dilemma

I love my GoPro, one of my better investments.

lscamaro · 04-17-2013, 10:28 PM

Is it absolutely necessary to get the latest and greatest or which should I look into? I have no idea what to look for on these. All I want is for it to be able to record in high-def and to have one of those snazzy suction cup mounts.

I don't know if the newest generation is a big improvement over other generations to warrant the extra money

RubyCamaro · 04-17-2013, 10:37 PM

I too would love A GoPro. Problem is my still camera is also getting old & starting to be unreliable, and I'd like a hand held video camera too, then there are all the mods.............................I just need to win the lottery.
