I have an itch.

And itch to trade my car and get something else. I guess u can say that i kinda did impulse buy this car i have now and i should have waited so i could get a V8 even though i do like my V6 it just seems like its missing something. I also found a sweet price on a 6speed Challenger RT for 26k brand new and no camaros come close to that price. But since i am responsible and also getting shorty headers installed soon maybe that will make my itch go away. So does anyone else have to yearnings or itches?

i sure do love my lt camaro. but im a diehard chevrolet fan. plus i am all about building a small engine car to blow doors off v8's. i used to be real into imports and had a few fast 4cyl. with knowing wat you can get out of a 4cyl i can only imagine wat i could get out of a 6 cyl! cant wait!

There is only 1 kind of v6 I would have if I had to put some sort of kit on it. I would only go the supercharging route. I love the sound of the Audi S4.

I would also take a 4 cyl over any v6 if it came down to it. Don't get me wrong, I love the v6 and supercharged v6's but if it's not supercharged, I would rather just build a 4 cyl.

If you have a v6 and you have the itch, I would serious reconsider having any work done on it. Why put more money into it if you are just going to trade it in. Performance parts don't add value, in most cases, they decrease it.

Well im gonna hope and see what the shorties do and im actually a lil more excited about the RX supercharger kit that will be comming out soon and i might go this route but will have to wait till funds are in better shape but i just hope i can stave off this itch till i could get that done cause i know a supercharger or turbocharger could stave it off.

Is that sarcasm? Cant tell cause of it being the internet. Yea the sticker is 33k on the car so its seems like a hell of a deal. And tracy i wish i did love closer so i could see the awesome work u do in person and see how those turbo cars feel and drive, Lucky for me i earn alot of vacation time so i could easily take a couple extra days on a weekend to drive down and see in person so i might do that some time later when the weather is a lil warmer here.

Nope, no itches for me. The camaro is perfect!

Obviously I have mods planned, but it's not like they're nagging at me. I enjoy my camaro any and every way possible.

Its not that i dont enjoy my car just that it feels like something was missing from it. I have drivent my brothers SS alot and it feels great alot nice down low TQ. It was the same when i had my turbo cobalt ss lots of down low TQ. Its just kinda bothered me since i owned the car but i love the way it rides and how its a nice cruiser.
