Hello!

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.

My name is Chris, and I purchased a 2013 Camaro 1SS on December 10, 2012 after my previous vehicle met its untimely demise. Admittedly, the 5th generation Camaro SS is the vehicle I should have purchased back at the end of 2009, but I ended up compromising. Better late than never, right?

Here's my current vehicle:



... and for anyone that's interested, my previous vehicle was a 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track with forged bottom end, Rotrex supercharger @ 11psi, putting down ~500whp/~400lb-ft, as well as a whole car's worth of other modifications. I decided to part with it when the motor unexpectedly gave up the ghost.

No offense taken because I agree with you.

Had I purchased the Camaro SS earlier on and heavily modified that instead, I would've saved thousands upon thousands of dollars in the long run.

Hahaha. I actually have a Honda as my winter beater ...

The Camaro SS is definitely the car I've always wanted. It's exceeded my expectations in almost every way. I can't wait to start modifying it.

Chris, 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!!
