cool!

should have got the LS1

should have got the LS1

Maybe he couldn't afford it. Still sounds like a kickass car!

then wait and save up.
thats what i did.

maybe he needed a car.

go back to the pontiac forum.

V6 or V8...doesn't matter to me...as long as its a camaro

Edit: My bad, didn't even say congrats

i apologize if i offended anyone. i was just stating my opinion.

ill take my leave and return to where us "fast" car drivers are.

i bid you adieu.

....Sorry.....i could have sworn camaros and firebirds were....sorta similar...im probably wrong though

they are similar.
Why would you be wrong?

i was talking about the V6. :evillol:

dafizz, go away, you already are not liked here. Stop thinking your opinion is God's word and ours are shit.

Go Away. We don't want people like you here.

Congratz on the Camaro the 3.8's are quick and definately have potential.

congrats man....a camaro is a camaro whether it has a v6, 305, or a "real" (l98, Lt1, ls1) engine...Hey and your v6 is faster then my v8 so there you go.

Congratulations on that camaro, hope you enjoy it!

listen Xenostalgia, by no means do i think my opinion is word of god. my opinion is just that. it isnt worth shit even in my book.

i obviously have a bad sense of humor as my comments were only meant as a joke. yes the camaro is a nice car. Congrats and i apologize if you were offended by what i said.

fizzman.. you should show a little respect to our fellow members.. i mean come on.. he picked an f-body over any other car out there, that alone gets my respect. let alone a v6.. which i know a lot of you guys will dog on v6's, but with the right prep and work a v6 can do some amazing things.. especially the 3.8..

and as far as saving the money, i was in the same situaion, i was saving money for a faster car when i was 16 (had a 92 Geo Tracker).. i was slowly banking money away and was gonna buy a 3rd gen IROC, just like my grandpa's.. but, my first car took an abrupt crap on me.. i had to get to my job, i had to get to school, i couldnt afford to wait, and couldnt afford the car i wanted.. so i got the next best thing.. i bought a v6.. i still got the car i wanted.. just not the powerplant, and now im still saving for the one i want.

*it strikes a nerve with me anytime someone makes fun of someone for buying a v6 instead of a v8.. so for future reference to everyone, not a good idea..

*also, if this thread doesnt get back on track, im gonna put a lock on it..

CONGRATS to xpunter on his purchase! And i'm hoping to see some pics when you get your car.

youre right but as i said it was a bad joke. i will refrain from engine comments in the future. pertaining to buying an f-body youre right, he did get a camaro instead of a ricer (and i will not apologize for that comment).

again, congrats on the car.

And i'm hoping to see some pics when you get your car.

I agree..

:useless:

fizzdizzle... lets line em up....LT1 vs LS1 :icon16:
then we will see where the "fast car drivers are." :evillol:

hit me up anytime! :naughty:

lets not turn this into a brawl.. everythings taken care of..

im just kidding w/ him.
besides he lives in michigan i live on long island.
too far for me too drive :)

yeah i know, fizzle, what all do you have done to your LS1?

pacesetter LT's
TSP catted y-pipe
magnaflow catback
LS6 intake manifold
85mm TB
LS6 cam
160* thermostat
qtp 3" cutouts
tune only for fans at 160*

gonna be swapping cams soon, not sure what yet though.
and gonna dyno tune.
thats it for now.

that would be a pretty good race right now... but after this winter you would probably be a few car lengths back....

why do you say that??

- i forgot the 4:10's

the engine comes out this winter and gets reborn... with a few new toys....

nice!
strokin' it??

nope, decided not to... but i should be making enough hp to keep me and the rear happy....

nice.
in a year or so i think im gonna throw a procharger on it.
like 6psi.

your lucky i have a sense of humor... lol jk yea i know i shoulda got a ls1 but for 2700 and 114k on the clock i couldnt pass it up..Plus im in college and im already payin through the nuts in my 2001 silverado 2500hd crew cab with the 6.0L that gets about 14mpg. And since i have to drive to school this is both "economical" lol and cheap, but dont get you wrong all my plowing money will go towards payin off my truck and car and finally..a ls1
thanks again,
Ill pics post tomorow

oh yeah and dafizzman1 , i will roll over your firebird with my truck :)

that explains it.
didnt know that you already had another vehicle. lol

youd have to catch me first. lol :evillol:

i think i could keep up.... for a while... but then id just use the plow to slow ya down

:rofl:

How the hell could you afford that truck?!! With plow gear too? Thats an exspensive truck.

Plus im in college and im already payin through the nuts in my 2001 silverado 2500hd crew cab with the 6.0L that gets about 14mpg.
my car gets 15mpg. haha :smokin:

my car gets 15mpg. haha :smokin:
damn dude that sucks.... I still get 30mpg highway 22+ city

what gears do you have?

i have 4:10's

stock 3.42 for now, will probably upgrade to 4.10 after cam swap but that should only vary gas mileage by a few mpg....

The plow gear came with the truck and i have more than half of it paid off..I have many jobs...lol

^*works the corner*^

Fizz, what part of LI. I make it up to Deer Park every couple of weekends and to the thread starter, congrats. The 3.8 is no slow poke. They run very impressive numbers with lite work and will give most late model V8's a run for there money.

Congrats on your purchase. 3.8s are great engines, dont worry in no time, if you mod it great enough it will kick some great Mustang butt..

Congrats! Will be looking forward to the pictures. Are you gonna do any engine mods or is this just a hold over to you get the ls1? Nice truck btw, but 14 mpg is rough. My dads 2003 1500 gets 19 city(usually) and upward of 23-24 on highway w/ cruise.

I was referring to GTs..

i know. :grinyes:

so true ^

im glad by time i got to page 4 of this thread everything was cleared up because i was about to jump on some ass....my 3.8 did me well...she raped v8's she ate imports, and in doing so got me around town. i could have got a v8 when i got her and i looked at 2 before i found mines but the rs kit just looks better than the everyday camaro look in my eyes, so she won even being 2 cylenders short i still love my baby. now a year and a half later look at me....about to do the ls swap (thanks to a friend fucking up his vett) and ill have more powah than what she was first born with. sometimes u gotta crawl before u can run....good buy man u will love that car the 3800 is a foundation of the ls1 block...both have great potential for power and they are both strong engines....and one day when u can maybe u will get that ls1 car and have both camaros.....or maybe u will be like me and keep your car and just give her a new heart...

congrats on the camaro! not a bad deal, even for a car with so many miles, but those 3.8s are supposed to last for awhile so take care of it. And if you can't get an LS1 the LT1s are almost as good and quite a bit cheaper if you can find a good one.

here it is :)
Ok well maybe i cant figure out to post here but its on webshots
