Sorry for pointless post, but I'm mad excited, I've had a deposit on it for over two weeks now, and it came today (Tuesday). My '96 RS is sold and will be gone in a week or so. No disrespect to the v6's, they are superb for what they are, but it just wasn't cuttin it anymore, and now I'm in the v8 club!

It's a dark metalic blue camaro 6spd, looks black in the dark... it came with an MTI lid/box, K&N, and aftermarket MAF sensor, w/ 48% more flow supposedly according ot the box. I want to put a Borla on it ASAP.

Even though gas is really high right now it will be worth every penny. Cause if your like me in the sense of that I love driving my 95 Z around you want even mind pumping that high dollar regular unleaded gas in. And also I have a bad habit of only putting $10 in at a time cause I hate pumping gas and at $1.59 a gallon that will only get around 155 miles on the tripometer.

Well, I modded up my '96 RS fairly before I sold it... CAI, Exhaust, Strut bar, wires, plugs, LSD w/ 3.42s, rear disc breaks, front signals clear w/ xenon bulbs, neons inside at feet.
I am going to miss it very much, I have a lot of good memories attatched to that car. What else you guys think I should do, future wishes include Headers, Cam job.

Let me just say, You are a lucky bastard. Congrats on the new car man, that sounds like one hell of a ride you got there. Yes you have a lot of good memories in the V6 but I'm sure the V8 will be just as much if not more fun. Enjoy but be safe............. Lucky bastard :p

I live in the lower part of texas beside louisiana and you can still get gas for 1.49 to 1.59 depending on where you look. In the small town I live in it's 1.59. But thats for the regular unleaded. The premium grade is a whopping 1.71 a gallon.

yeah man, isnt it funny how we always seem to have enough gas in tanks stored round the country, i mean we never actually run out or have a shortage, but prices still go up cuz it MIGHT happen. just the gas companies gouging the population, lineing their pockets, i mean come on people, we fucking OWN iraq right now, and we dont have any gas??????? somehow im smelling alot of BS.

I'm about to fill up alot of gas cans, If $ 3 per Gallon is in the short future. But just to throw in a slightly off topic subject has anyone ever tried that Sunoco Cam 2 gas.

Wow, this sucks, I picked the worst damn time to buy this car, I had a decently economical v6, sold it to get a gas/cash-guzzling 5.7 v8 monster that only takes 91 or above, lol, damn!!!

Try supporting a turbo car, they are octane hungry, the more the better, That and the alcohol that I run with pump gas is a lovely 8 bucks a gallon and I can go through about 2.1 gallons in a week.
I don't complain about gas prices anymore. The race fuel that I have ran a couple of times is 11 bucks a gallon. It is torco 118 octane NOS grade.....
