I finally got to drive my car yesterday after it was "Haus-moded" and aligned. Seems to be a lot tighter and stopped better. I will let everyone know my final thoughts when I get it back and run it through the paces.

Sweet!!

Jason-- house looks great. I'm still bummed everyone jumped off the Camaro train, but you can all still hang out with us! The more the merrier!

Speaking of houses... I know I told Jason & Drew I was thinking of buying one myself. Well, I got the pre-approval and have one I'm putting in an offer on one this weekend.

My dog is very excited for me to find a HUGE yard and my Camaro is excited for a garage.

Maybe I'll have a C5 party someday. There goes the neighborhood!!

Your not the Synergy SS I always see on tylersville are you? Its the only synergy SS I've ever seen and I've seen it quite a few times.

There are a few other non SS's, but I am super jealous of your car and when you sell it, you call me!!!!!!! (I tried to buy a synergy SS but they said it was only available on the V6s and I wasn't going to settle at the time...)

Another Q- Some of you who own older cars, Did you decide on going with historical plates, or no?

I can't decide on the Camaro. Of course I want to drive it around for like a month, but then how much will I actually drive it? To shows? Cruise ins? Shops? Car meetups?

Anyone go with historical plates and wish they didn't- or vice versa? I'm leaning towards getting temp tags (which i NEVER do) and then getting a historical plate. That way I can drive it all the time while I'm excited about it for a month and then get the historical tags.

thoughts appreciated!

Have you compared historical plates to collector plates? I have collector plates on my '76. I don't recall exactly why I decided on collector plates over historical. It may have been that personalized historical plates weren't available at the time or were more limited in number of characters.

I don't have any regrets with collector plates. The only negatives have been that I cannot renew them online or for 2 years like my regular daily driver plates. The annual registration is just over $100.

1980 Z28 4spd with build 350, all matching numbers in relatively good condition.

Still in the market for an IROC too. Test drove one in springfield... found a great one up in oxford... hopefully picking it up for racing soon but its high mileage (59k) (well I know thats "low" but there are a few out there still in the 30s) but it should work. either an IROC or a C4/C5 vette with suspension package.

I may not be running a 5th gen, but still a camaro lover at heart!

2nd gens!!!

I need to have the hood and a few trim pieces on my wife's saturn repainted.

Just got my BMR front/rear sways + end links (thanks Jason, your legacy will live on!) finished up today and all i can say is WOW

what a difference... I think it finally brought everything together. Handles almost as well as my dad's C5-Z06 now (well if it could lose a few pounds haha).

Cool! Glad you like them! It is quite an upgrade! Enjoy extended brake life!

When did you do that? You need to work some mods into that fix!

I stretched the body to make it a 4 door, but I swapped in the 3.6L DI V6 for fuel economy. Then I picked up a corvette body around the V8. I also swapped the body for a C2 Z28. (In short I traded it for three cars, a Corvette Z06r, a C2 Camaro Z28, and a Cadillac CTS Summer Performance package 3.6L DI with Aisin 6spd.)
