Camaro sitting for 6 months, bringing it out of the Garage, What should it do?

OK,
I left for school in Mexico for 6 months last Jannuary and now im returing home. Before i left i left my 2000 camaro,(about 65000 miles, v-6, I try to maintaine the car well and i dont drive it like im racing it everyday, only sometimes ), in the Garage in my parents house. I disconected the battery and put this stuff in the fuel for long periods of non activity. I put a few sheets over the car so the paint would not be exposed. The oil in the car is about 1500 miles old and i am planning on replacing that right away when i return.
In the summers the garage gets kind of hot becasue the house is in phoenix AZ. The car is used for everything so i would like the fuel and performace to be maintained to the highest within reason.
I asked my parents to drive it a couple times but im sure they did not so the car has just been sitting there for a long time and its the first time this has happened. Is this not good for the car and what should i look into getting anything repleased or checked?
Thx everyone for reading this and replying,
Mason.

You need to make shure everything is lubed before you try to start it...
Also, add a few gallons of fresh gas to the tank to mix with the old gas.

Guys, it's only been 6 months, not 6 years . The oil pressure switch, should not let the injectors kick until oil pressure is in acceptable range.

It'll be fine. Me personally, I'd just give it a oil change and go.
