it really doesnt cost a lot to soup up a camaro...not like it does for the imports. Damn all u have to do to a camaro to get a spike in hp is to get a mild cam job/exhaust. And the thing is, its so easy to do that in american cars....its a bitch in import cars! Just race and see who wins. Worst comes to worst u lose...so what u got beat by a camaro with a v-8, if u win then u got some braggin rights, u beat a v-8 with a 4 banger.
