Hey everyone. Starting a project log. So i had a 2001 Camaro SLP RS which i loved and would still have now however after my son was born I wanted my girlfriend to have a safe car to transport him in, especially since they would be making frequent trips to boston for his heart tumor (hes perfectly fine now btw). We had no money so I was forced to trade in my Camaro and I drove her shit box to work.
Well I finally got a Camaro again. Its my first v8 but it definitely isnt winning any races:
LO3 305ci (5.0l) V8 - 170hp 260tq
700r4 Automatic
2.73 Limited Slip
Its in great shape, only 100k on it (95k when i bought it). The interior is like brand new, however the exterior needs a little help. Its overall in good condition and shines up great but its suffering from some clear coat failure. First thing i did was wet sand and buff the entire car. This was over the course of a couple months doing a panel at a time.
Only mods ive done are edelbrock air cleaner, AC delete, smog delete, cat delete, and had a Flowmaster 80 Series muffler cut in with some polished tips. Its got some get up, and it certainly can do one mean brake stand without breaking a sweat.
Future mods are possibly headers (havnt decided if its worth the money), MSD cap, rotor, wires, new delco plugs, and just some chrome valve covers to match the air cleaner.
