good morning 9-5ers

A year ago today I got my Camaro and it’s been awesome.

Hey guys, this is just an update from my last post. Ended up doing my first mod to the car. Thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up putting on the borla ataks. It sounds incredible, as well as the pops. Here are some small ones. Don’t want to piss off the neighbors, I’ve been ripping it a bit the past few days. 😄

They charging me extra $750 CA.

Took the leap and traded my 2024 Mazda3 Hatch for a 2012 Camaro SS 2SS Convertible.

I made the purchase of the mazda last year because it "Made more sense for the family". My 04 tahoe is cammed and straight piped. Although the wife and kid love riding in it, shes gets 12mpg and drones like a bitch. I really thought I liked that car until the new wore off. Then I realized too late that it isn't what I even like in a vehicle, let alone a car. It's not something I can really wrench on. I got it in awd because its safer, no turbo because its one less maintenance item, and no manual since i knew id abuse it at some point (plus, manual only comes in fwd). The whole car was just a compromise that I shouldn't have made. The tahoe has 4wd and I ended up using it more in the winter anyway. So there goes most of what little reason I had to like the mazda. The other thing is I live in kansas. Everything is a straight line here. Light cars with "good driving dynamics" are meant to get thrown through a corner. I can't do that here lol Add to that, the mazda only got 28mpg on the highway.

So there I sat.

Not a high power motor but still shit mileage.|
No tunability because no one has cracked the ecu
Even if it was cracked, the aftermarket pales compared to other cars
And I can't even enjoy the fuel mileage of a small engine car.

Got to thinking "WTF did i even do this for??". So I sat and thought for a while on getting a new miata with a manual. Then a buddy asked me why don't I get a camaro and I said "Oh, because they're expensive".

My god I'm an idiot. I never even looked at the camaro prices because I just assumed they were still out of my price range. That the insurance would be too costly. The camaro was 2k less than what I paid for the mazda and my insurance premium dropped $200+. So I bought something that I like and not what made sense. I pick up the car in two days. Just wanted to share and wondering what does everyone think about their camaro? I've always loved them and I can't wait to bang through the gears.

Im not looking to buy one just yet, but I've been looking at some and plan to get one within the next year or two. I'm wondering if anyone has any specific experience with it, if they like it or not. And more specifically, if anyone has a Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger Kit with/or the Flowmaster Outlaw Series Axle-Back Exhaust System. That's my plans for it and I want to know what it would sound like

Posted here a couple weeks ago asking if I should powder coat my wheels and I full sent it. I’m very happy with how it turned out! (Don’t mind the brake dust on my wheels)

Camaro was all stock before when the car crash happen. Then after the car crash I was depressed because I lost my baby. But luckily all the damage was cosmetic besides one of the head lights. It was my right away at a green light and a guy ran the red light 6 seconds later and i t bone him. I got permanent back pain and a damaged car. But the other persons car was totaled and his kid had a permanent knee injury. Some people don’t deserve to drive especially child endangerment. After I got back on my feet I did a cold air intake mod, exhaust mod, and cosmetics like a louver and exhaust tips; all I need to do is fix the chassis , and a minor issue with the front hood and other small dents and dings. To this day I still don’t know how the motor didn’t get smashed or how my car didn’t get total the other guy went at least 45 or 50 mph. What the mechanic said was the chassis took most of the damage which might have saved the engine

Saturday morning I was going to my local Golf Course at 5:30 am. Got passed by a Honda doing 120. I immediately thought “Bring in on!!” Floored my car and passed him. After I slowed down he caught up. We were doing 85 and a CHP light him up. I kept going and took Dead Man’s Curve at 95 and got to the Golf Course. I wonder why I got lucky? I think the CHP must of seen him from an overpass.

Found the launch mode, damn you youtube and inquisitive offspring.

I got an extended warranty when I bought my SS a few weeks ago. Are there any mods I can do without voiding the warranty? I’m completely fine leaving it stock btw I’m just curious.

Hey everyone I have an important question. This is my second Camaro I'm putting a spoiler on and it's on. BUT I took off the OEM spoiler that (for some reason) needed a millions holes drilled. With the new one on there are some holes still exposed and I need help covering them with something good and asthetically pleasing. Especially with that middle hole showing under the spoiler because that one is the weirdest one. I definitely don't want something like rain water leaking in so if anyone has some answers for me l'm open to suggestions🙏🏼

Anyone in here running a pair? i just bought some and I've been wanting them for a long time because of GV aspirated. They SEEM solid and practical without sacrificing sound or tone. Just wanted to see if anyone here had experience or tips for running them. I'm also switching to quad tips with no diffuser if that means anything lol

Got it three days ago. Me and my brother would watch Transformers EVERYTIME we got home from middle school when it dropped on DVD. At that moment I seen the Camaro, I Vowed that I will have that car! Now is that time. Forever grateful to my dad for introducing Transformers he grew up with to me and my brother.

I have a 2017 Camaro 2ss that I want to get an axle back exhaust for. I was gonna get the quad exit exhaust but noticed it said for NPP cars only. Since my car is not an NPP car (normal dual single tips) am I stuck with getting the normal axle back or can I get the quad tips? Do I also need a tune for an axle back to avoid check engine lights? The car is complete bone stock. And if anyone knows of any quad-tipped axle back for non-NPP cars please share a link! All help is appreciated.

(California) Exterior and interior are in excellent condition. Checked out the car two days ago, everything works fine AC lights etc, power steering a bit stiff but not that bad. Only weird thing is the OBDT2 scanner picked up no codes however the center screen said “Service Airbags”.

The car was salvaged 1.5 yrs ago (fender bender) and they rebuilt the car themselves (have videos and pictures of it being fixed). When I asked about the airbag they said they’d just need to take it to a dealer to get the light off and that it would cost $100, he then sent me a receipt of the airbags they purchased with the cars VIN on it.

I do have a carfax of the car as well. I don’t really have any mechanic friends that know about Camaros so not sure how risky that service airbag note is. Any advice is appreciated I really want a Camaro haha (for under 10k).

Edit: no frame damage (allegedly), airbags did deploy, and they’ve been driving it for 1.5yrs (carfax confirms this). Seems like the car has been for sale for at least a few months now too (not confirmed but my hunch)

I want to put a kill switch in my Camaro but I know there’s multiple types and don’t know which would be best for me and most reliable. Can I have some suggestions on what brand to go with or what type of kill switch to have?
