gettin a 85 camaro next week

im excited

its got a 355 engin with bored out cylinders, (rebuilt last october with only 2500 miles on it), brand new rear end, runs a quater mile in 13.001, gonna be a great first car cant wait to get ta street racin

allllright thats it just wanted to tell someone

dont really kno to much more about cars, thats why im joinin this forum lol btw its a sweet ride and im gettin it for $4500 off a friend

damn dude, sweet first car, and not a bad price at all for the performance already on hand. welcome to the forum, and welcome to the camaro family.

can i have it?

Ya man. That sounds like a very sweet ride. Is this your first car or just a toy? From what i can gather this seems to be your first car, so my best advice is to work your way up to goin fast and not haul ass (which im sure it will) all at once. My first car was a 71 nova with a stroker motor in it.. i though i was hot stuff til about 3 weeks later and it was parked in a brick wall.. :( So ya, enjoy the hell outta the car just dont kill yerself.

well i dont think im gettin it anymore, my mom is givin me sooo much bs sayin all im gonna do is get myself introuble and that im gonna be doin motor work to it constantly but she knows nothing about cars..the engine in it now was rebuilt just last october and has like 2500 miles on it....she just wont let me win this argument, and now she says she wont sign on the loan for that car! omg im like mom its my dream car!

bummer...

possibly for the best. something like that is usually to much car for a begining driver.

yeah, i have to agree, my first car was a boat, 1977 olds delta 88, had a chevy 350, but was massive, still got in plenty of trouble. then stepped up to the RS, got in more trouble, now i got the IROC. i wonder whats gonna happen lol. ah well, guess itdosnt matter what car you start off with after all :)

im lookin into some hondas crx hatchback or a civic, id love to get the/a camaro down the road lol i love older cars

If I was your boss, I'd fire you for that comment.

why don't you go for a decommissioned police car, crown vic, maybe mother won't realize how beastly it is and they go for cheap too.

whos boss???? and yeah, ex cop cars are awesome value for the car.

scarnan's boss, for making this comment: "im lookin into some hondas crx hatchback or a civic"

Check the first pic in the photo contest in Off Topic... I promise you'll like it (don't know how to make a link to it) It has to do with this topic.

I love my 88 camaro ;) It's a teeny v6 but it gets me to/from work (which is all I really wanted). I'll probably change a few things but I've already made plans to get a V8 Camaro and modify it from there. In regards to his comment, about the Civics and such - those cars are most likely a little affordable for a person such as yourself. I know people that dump a few k into their Civic and get massive amounts of hp. Of course there is NOTHING like having a vehicle with an engine that puts out 350hp (unmodified in the ways of turbo + supercharge).

i would like to meet these people ;-)

like mentioned before try a decomitioned police car. she may know they have some balls, she may think its just a 4door that used to have sirens.

worth a shot.

yeah, a few k worth of a turbo, and then repairing blown piston rings every few months. :)

dude that bites ass that u cant get the car i cant even drive yet and i got an 87 z28 just waitin for me. i told my mom i was getting a camaro or driving her 99 ss and of course that convinced her i cant touch her car

Have you tried begging or holding your breath until she gives in. For a dream car anything is worth a shot

I can remember way back in the day my first car was a 1982 Trans-Am. Cherry red, every power option, T-tops and in great condition. Ohhhh the memories.
