Finally!!

2kformula · 03-01-2012, 07:36 AM

Hello all. I've been a member for almost a year, just really looking at all the great camaros you all have, and the mods done to them. I recently got rid of my 2000 Firebird/Trans am to pay off some debt, it was a hard choice to make, but in the end the smart choice. She went to a good home, and I'm actually friends with the guy that bought her, so can still visit from time to time. Now that all debts are paid, I've decided to spoil myself, and create a little more debt, by FINALLY getting a 5th Gen!!

Picked up a 2012 1SS/RS M6 all black this past Tuesday......and the "per-ma-smile" I've read about is 100% true! Can't wait to start modding, already looking around for deals. I'll try to get some pics up later when I get home.

2kformula, 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 them...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, dad's, wive's, husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's 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!!

Congrats and welcome! I would love to say

Post some up so I can!

What are the plans for the lovely lady

2kformula · 03-01-2012, 06:45 PM

thanks all. Once I clean her up a bit, she'll be all over here like a playmate center spread, pun intended

, We've had some rain here in Texas, as soon as I get her, I have to baby her....so waiting to open up.

So far the plans are a CAI intake w/scoop, long tube headers probably through TSP with high flow cats, then a borla s-type cat back system, TSW Nurburgring wheels, thinking maybe 3.90 gears, ZL1 front bumper conversion, GM ground effects side skirts and rear bumper, after burner sequential LED tail lights.....and more to come I'm sure. Already have an appointment to get the windows tinted on Monday.

Ok, I finally got around to uploading some pics.

On the night everything was finalized and she was mine:

After a good wash/wax:

Windows tinted and "Camaro" de-badged:

Base line dyno:

Last, some goodies waiting to put on:

CAI intake w/ADM scoop and Roto Fab washer relocation kit:

TSP long tube headers and highflow cats:

Borla S-Type cat back:

Once I get everything on, I'll do another dyno run and see where I'm at, the the search continues for more parts.
