Hello!

This is my first American V8 coupe I have owned and I am enjoying it very much!

Picked it up on 1/20 from Penske Chevrolet in Cerritos, CA.

Took it to the canyons in Malibu, CA that weekend!

Here's a pic after I had it detailed that weekend also!

Got some plans fun plans for it!

I work at STILLEN! The SS actually replaced a daily driver that I got bored of. I also own a 16 VW Golf R that is very modified.

What I have in mind to do:

1) Wheels (forged)
2) Lowering springs and sways
3) Exterior (lip spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser)
4) AP RACING RADICAL BBK (need to develop)
5) POWER! (Supercharger most likely)

This thing will see some track time and also some straight line racing as well.

Car looks good, these cars look great in black. I still can't make up my mind what color I want to order...

I see you work at Stillen, if you need a tester/reviewer for the '14 Fusion roof spoiler, I'm your man lol...(it's my DD).

had it tinted this weekend!

35% all around and 70% on the windshield.

I used Pentagon IR film.

I will get some pics up in a bit, weather is crappy here right now.

So in 11 days I managed to put about 1200 miles on it, LOL.

Decided to do a early oil service. New AC Delco PF64 filter, new drain plug, and I just used some Valvoline SynPower 5w30 Full Synthetic.

Going home after the oil change, driving easy, avg mpg was aboutr 26-27! It can only get better as it breaks in more I hope. Not that I got it for MPGs, LOL!

got her back from the modeling shop and brake r&d at work! (STILLEN)

Exterior part development (HINT: 5 piece kit) - CHECK!

AP Racing RADI-CAL BBK (all 4 corners) development - CHECK!

Stay tuned!

Just ordered springs from Phastek also, since they were first to have available!

Will get some spacers to supplement the drop for now until my wheels arrive from overseas.

I have my Mishimoto catch can also ready to install, might tackle that this weekend.

I also changed the diff fluid out at about 1500 miles, did it myself! Since I drive pretty hard, with factory recommended fluid!

I need to get the pics up with TINT!

Got my springs from Phastek today.

Also ordered some Eibach 25mm spacers and camber bolts for the front.

Having them installed tonight at a friends shop!

The springs did not work! Difference in front springs from V6 to V8 models in actual spring shape! Let Phastek know and sending these back! I did put spacers on and it looks super aggressive! If it was lowered it would be perfect I think.

I got a screw in my right rear tire, :(

A big one, 1.5 inches long, like 3-4mm diameter, about 4 inches from the shoulder of tire.

I took it out and plugged it for now, need to see what I am going to do, i heard runflats cannot be patchwithplugged, so maybe time for new non runflats all around? oh boy....

Pics please! :)

Nice

been quite busy lately, but lots in the works! will have quite a few new modifications in the next 30-60 days....

dropped car off at MAGNAFLOW for exhaust development yesterday!

should get the camaro back this week, i'll be getting the first production piece of the competition catback to try out from Magnaflow....they did a lot of testing of the valves and how they operate, especially the actual signals sent to the motors controlling them...and how it interfaces with the engine sound modes...
