To trade in your car is the worst thing you can do financially, hard to believe that anyone can think this is a solution.

So thats what having sex with all your clothes on looks like?

Keep up the great work man, your videos helped me choose my SS.

That video I was running e85, I am now back on 91 pump gas. That could be the change you're hearing. Overall pump gas seems to have made the tone louder.

Thanks for the compliment. Yeah I talk a lot, its what I do

I would have done a California legal supercharger so that I don't have to rely on someone else to decide whether I can ever drive my car again. Once again thanks for all you do and I wish you the best of luck.

I am not worried about smog and do not plan to live in California all that much longer. Hate this place. But I'll worry about my car... no need to wrry for me.

Best of luck and enjoy it to the fullest. Hard work and saving money does pay off. Just need to convince my brain to do the same on the money part. LOL

It wasn't easy, but it was worth it.

None. knock on wood.

The ProCharger kit with all the stage 2 goodies is about that much. $6k for the unit and $1k for the stage 2 items. Than the cost of install and tune. Again, I did not pay this much for mine as I bought my unit lightly used with 218 miles on it.

At this point, you have a ton of $'s into that car. It will be interesting to see how it holds up long term and how long you hold onto it (since you are running out of things to do to it).

We shall see... will most likely redo the bottom end when upgrading the fuel system.Still looking at axle options and BMR suspension.

This car will not be sold or traded. This is a forever car for me... or until it dies.

If they see anything out of the ordinary, they can require you to go to the local official smog station and have a check by an referee. Temecula, Murrieta, and Menifee CHP are very aggressive.....pull you over for tinted windows, no front plate, or loud exhaust and then they have you pop the hood. Cops aren't stupid and most are into cars and know whats stock and whats modified. Not saying this is right or wrong, just my experience thru friends and family.

it's funny, I haven't had plates on the car for over 6 months (it is paid for and registration is current) I have tinted windows (nothing yet) but I typically drive with my windows down, and I have never heard of anyone in this area getting aloud exhaust ticket unless they were complete assholes to the cops. But windows, down, staying the speed limit in most areas and NPP has kept me safe.

I literally had a CHP officer pull along side me today in Menifee and tip his hat at my car before taking off and pulling over a Mustang... lol

I too installed a Procharger supercharger, but not all of the go-fast goodies you have. My Garnet red 2SS is plenty fast and I'm very happy with it. We'll both enjoy our cars, cept different.

Now you hate California really? Remember 33 states require smog check.

Matt love the car, sounds amazing

[blahzay]

When you say "My car "should" last a while". How long is a while? Lol. This is something I would really love to do but want my camaro to last me a few years at least. Lol

[TheDocKlopek]

I love how strong your car sounds. I wish they rolled off the production floor sounding this way. As much as I love this car, I was a bit disappointed how quite it is even in sport/track.

Either way great work on everything you have done. Enjoy watching your videos and will use in the future when I finally start upgrading my own car.

It should last a very long time as long as i take care of it. Proper oil changes, valve cleanings, transmission flushes, brake jobs, differential fluid flushes. I don;t drag race my car daily. I do sit in traffic and drive my car. As long as I use great parts it should last as long as a stock motor. But we all know I will drive it a bit harder than normal, so we shall see.

Thanks man. I love making the content and sharing my experience. Just another car fan talking to a camera.

It is coming. I have been swamped at work for my day job, so things have been hard and I have simply been pretty damn tired as of late, need to slow it down and take a deep breath.
