nice cars, both of them

 

Not a bad choice. I like Camaros alot. Good luck with it! What's the first mod you want to do with that car?

 

I'm more a fan of the 3rd generation camaros. Those don't look too bad with a decent body kit though.
First mod?

 

V8, good, you're not a fool.

 

Modding this will be slim to none as I just wish to have a dependable yet fun car to drive for the next few years. It already has an aftermarket intake and SLP catback exhaust along with a 4.10 gear (still only turning 2k rpm at 75mph on the highway though!) which is pretty much how the car will stay for now. Subframe connectors and some other suspension esque mods may be in the near future, but I think I'll try to stay away from catching the performance mod bug.

 

Not a big fan, but it will be fun anyway!

 

ahhh the darkside! chrisco...your maroon supra was an inspiration to mine...way back when... heheheh i had ur car as my background for tha longest time, and i would tell people it was mine doing that massive burnout...

Surprisingly, they get about 26-28 freeway. With the stepped up diff and the exhaust, it may be lower though. Technology changes and engineers actually figure out how to not lose power through the drivetrain. :bigthumb:

Yeah... seems silly to me... even my old 167K mile 7M supra got twice the gas mileage of a guzzling american V8... Whatever floats your boat, man, but imho a Supra is 10x the car that a Camaro is. They're fast, sure, but thats all they are.

 

thats funny i did the opposite. went from a sweet ass Camaro to a nice supra.

if you wanna see my ex camaro heres the cardomain site.

wouldnt call it the dark side..just the wrong side

enjoy the car and the better gas milage...p-sout.

 

LS1 6-spd F bodies and Corvettes get amazing highway mileage. The higher compression helps a lot too for fuel economy.
A friend of mine has a heads/cam stripper 6-spd Z28 and gets 31mpg + at 80mph on the freeway. Another friend with LS1Edit on his C5 got over 35mpg on the freeway at 85!

Low revs & high compression = economy.

Wreckless said it... Even with the 4.10 gear, I'm still seeing ~28mpg on the freeway and ~20 in town... compared to 22-24 freeway with the supra and 14-16 in town.

 

Ill miss not being the only Poopra out at the Autos campus!

Looks pretty clean but after we race your gonna want more mods. lol

GL with it man.

 

hell yea, i decided to go from the sup to a v8 also. its not near as powerfull, but its much better on gas, and very comfortable.

the supra is out...

the lexus is in...

 

f boddy guru

p.s. i got a good friend up in carbondale who is an f body guru... ill hook yall up if ya want.

 

Good choice, only one prob tho

"Dependable car" and GM should never be used in the same sentence

In regards to drivetrain issues... these LS1 camaros are pretty solid. As long as I don't do anything stupid and blow up the rear end, I should be just fine. Most other issues that may arise will be less or as expensive as anything on the supra (parts availability is key here) so, again, i'm not too worried.

Dunno WTF you're talking about, I've seen a lot more 200,000+ mile Gm's than I've seen anythign else.

Also, the parts are CHEAP if something DOES go wrong. Not to mention excellent aftermarket support...

At least it's not a Chrysler...

+1!

 

Hey I went to the darkside as well when I got rid of my Supra a year or two ago. I thought I'd be happy w/ a truck or something like that. YEAH RIGHT!

I ended up w/ the 2000 M6 TA I have now. Just under two years later, It's a few months from a H/C swap and the 400rwhp barrier. The 4.10 gears are the BEST mod to do on the M6 cars. HANDS DOWN. I can still get 30mpg on the freeway and its a blast to drive in town. Tons of suppliers and competitors for mods and a network of tons and tons of people to help you out. Don't feel too bad!

All cars have their positives and negatives but I think that a true enthusiast is someone who can appreciate anything and can recognize it for what it is. I hate the types who think that their car is superior to everyone elses and nothing else could possibly be better. As you can see, there aren't many here that are the latter of those two types. Good choice and enjoy it!

smart man ...

although my sc4 gets the same gas mileage as my supra did back when it was tuned well.

Anyways nice ride, have fun with it.
