New in Kansas

I've been dying to get my hands on one of these since the 5th gen came out. Had a load of speeding tickets a few years back and insurance was more than I was willing to spend. Fortunately those tickets have dropped and the insurance is back to sane levels.

Picked up this 2010 2ss with about 40k on it. Loving it so far, though it's in desperate need of some exhaust and intake help. Needs tires as well, but I got a really good deal on the car so there's no complaints. Looking forward to uncorking this thing!

Had to rip that ridiculous lego looking engine cover off.

Welcome! Since you are in need of new tires, might as well go big and get some nice rims too

Slapshot, CONGRATS on the new 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, wive's, husbands, girlfirends 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!!

I'm in Wichita. Absolutely love this car, it's been a long time since I've had a car with any kind of balls. I've been really into motorcycles for the last 10 years. I decided instead of a new bike to get the car. Already have a ton of things I want to do to the car.

You guys in Wichita know of a decent dyno tuner? Don't think the car will fit on the bike dyno.
