Goodbye Speed3... :(

Postby I`m Batman » Fri Jun 24, 2016 9:14

I had to say good bye to my MS3 a few days ago, it was a sad sad day... :(
But I picked up a new ride, 2016 Camaro 1SS. :9b5bde: 455hp 455tq should keep me happy for awhile. :D
I'm planning to keep it stock, maybe just new intake. It came with the adjustable exhaust, and the V8 already sounds awesome, so I don't think I'll be replacing that... for now.
I wanted the black wheels, but they didn't have it in stock. I'll probably just powder coat these ones, eventually. But other than that, and maybe a few cosmetic changes, it'll stay stock for the most part. Can't wait to really drive this thing and try the launch control after the break-in. :D

Congrats! I reallllly thought about going the muscle car direction after the ST. Had I known I would be selling the Miata a few months later, I would've replaced the FoST with either a Mustang GT or Challenger Scat Pack and replaced the Miata with an old project truck. I didn't look at the Camaros.

Thank you. I was looking at the Mustang GT too last year... Until I read about and saw the 2016 Camaro. Brand new chassis from the Cadillac ATS-V, one of the best chassis around (200+lbs lighter and 28% stiffer), and more powwa!!! I like the new more aggressive design than the previous too. It out performs the Mustang in every category too.

Chris,
I think you meant "correctly sized garage".

9 kids? I couldn't handle that, lol. I would want that fourth bay to have a door that locks out anyone from inside the house so I could get away.

Minor cosmetic mod... black bowties and front Street Scene splitter. I just plastidip the splitter because I don't want to spend that kind of money on paint since it'll get dinged up anyway. Plus it's cheap. :lol:

Also installed Mishimoto Oil Catch can at around 400 mi. - since this LT1 is direct injected.
