Camaro
 

You guys know anything about Camaros? I was at my mom's friends house the other day and her son had a 1968 and a 79 camaro that he was working on. Earlier my friend told me that is i wasnted a cheap car to hook up the a camaro would be perfect and they look cool. Well i looked into it and i figure that this could be an option. Anyways, what year should i get? i dont really think it matters cause they all look cool but i dont know which year to get. V8 is a must and does anyone know and web sites that are camaro based?

Re:Camaro
 

HUH...camaro's suck...I'm not a domestic basher or anything, but I'm just SOOO tired of those cars, UNLESS it's a 95+ SS...those I like...

Re:Camaro
 

68-69s are dope.Heavy as ---- but verry fast.Onyx has one.I cant remenber waht year he said it was(68or69) but maybe he can help you out.

Re:Camaro
 

camaros are fast when they heavily built, I have a friend here that is kicking ass here with a camaro in pro, not sure what year it is. but still dont like them anyways. I kick the ass of a lot of z28 with my little four banger rice burner like they love to call, just cause the dont understand whats under the hood. ford mustangs? dont get me started.

Re:Camaro
 

camaros are garbage, stay away unless u want a big headache and a lot of dissapointment, no suspension on tap, american trash, every week something goes wrong

Re:Camaro
 

you people are talking about hte newer ----. anyhting after 71 is a POS. the lower years have alot of balls and will rip alot of you turbo guys in half. The camaro i own is a 69 SS 396. And yes it is very expensive to get it right unless you plan on gettign it and tubbing it out and leaving the body shitty just to go fast. Another one that is fun is a barracuda with a 440 (69 of corse). Both of thoes cars kick some serrious ass. Now as V8 goes if there turboed that would be some fun ---- to drive. BTW my 69 camaro with the big block 396 in it weighs just under 2600 lbs. Its just as heavy as most civics, del sols, and integras.

Re:Camaro
 

I'd drive a turbo v8 anyday. ;)

Re:Camaro
 

SS all the way.........If hitler used it you know its bad ass

Re:Camaro
 

71 - 89 are trash

although stock iroc z will own most civic's with swaps

stock irocz = low 14s 1/4 & street tires

i have a 67, they're awesome. if you want to fully restore one it'll cost you about 15k.

if you want to make it look good and have a kick ass engine that'll smoke every turbo car here except jeff's it won't cost much. SBC parts are SOOOOOOOOOO CHEAP.

you could build a 11:1 compression solid lifter cam motor and in a 1s gen camaro you would run low 12s or faster, then add a shot of nitrous and your drivetrain in the limit.

mine is 11.7:1 race heads hypertecnic <- spelling? pistons no name rods stock crank stock block holly street dominator intake hooker headers cran solid lifter cam & roller rockers holly 750 double pumper carb

it runs like a raped ape and revs to ~7000-~7200. and is a all torque built motor.

all these idiots that say camaros are peices of ---- just hate gettin beat by such a cheap car.

you can get a g machine chassis from chassisworks they're 1400 dollars and will give you disc brakes and make your car handle with any import, i saw a 67 chevelle with a g machine chassis and it owned a bunch of rx7s, porsches, late model camaros/mustangs and 80s vettes on a road course.

btw my camaro is not very heavy. it weights 3300 with everything in it. & sound system.

oh and TT350 @ 9psi in a camaro = never beat on the street or at least very rarely.

Re:Camaro
 

not to mention they are easy as ---- to work on..

my g/fs uncle has a late 60's early 70's cutlass, w/ a 455 bored .020. high comp pistons (11:1?) crower cams roller rockers turbo 400 auto tranny, 500+ hp :) 11 sec car.

Re:Camaro
 

Im surprised Random dident post earlier lol

Re:Camaro
 

its just the guys who own them think that they are the fastest and best cars in the world, they biased (confederate flag flying guys)no offence random strike! I dont know you. they usually that think that a real Americans should not buy imports,and it is imposible to have 8 sec import, I personally never got beaten buy one, but I never raced a fully built one, and I also picked my races wisely, on the autobahn, then know they will run out of gas before we get to our destination.

Re:Camaro
 

rubeboy you're a retard lol

when you idle down the highway you get good gas mileage

Re:Camaro
 

8sec import = dragster

Re:Camaro
 

Muscle cars rock! A 67-69 Camaro would be fun as hell to build up.

Re:Camaro
 

Haha, I was thinking the same thing lol.

hey man, if you want muscle for cheap, do a truck...my friend down here has a '83 S-15 with a 350 four bolt main, it's gotta high rise intake, 750 4 bbl, and a 150 shot of happy gas(many other upgrades, but it's not my truck so I don't know em all right off hand). The thing still has the stock 6 cylinder rear end and sits on Trans AM GTS(black honeycombs)out back and weld dragstars up front...he MIGHT have 4 grand in that truck(it isn't the PRETTIEST thing in the world, mind you) but it will F@CKIN' FLY...he beat lika 95 or 96 Z28 w/nitrous and full MSD ignition by 3 car lengths...HE SAYS he's fixin' to pull that motor and drop in a fully built 383 stroker motor...sooo you see down here the imports may win a few battles but with trucks like that cruising around(and there are a few), we'll never win the war....

Re:Camaro
 

Listen -------, You obviously have no ------- idea what you're talking about! Why don't you take your import and shove it up your ass where it might be more useful!

Re:Camaro

The camaro looks nice.
What's going on with that 69 chevelle?
I sold mine a few months ago :'(

Re:Camaro
 

as an auto lover, i got to put my 2 cent in this.

camaros are the ----. don't talk ---- about mustangs either, it's crappy owners makes them sucks. most mustangs hit about 14.5~ which is pretty fast enough for some.

i was in the proccess of building up a ford 302 for boost. my friend built one and got 450hp+ at low boost 8-9 psi? but got lazy and stayed with what im good at.

torque is fun, why do most imports talk hella ----, but when it comes down they want "a bigger motor"?

low end torque OWNS! HI POWER LOW END TORQUE AND SUPER HI END? only on turbo V8s..

Re:Camaro
 

Ok i said i would get picts so i got picts;)

Re:Camaro
 

What do you mean it cant be me? California changes people ;)

Re:Camaro
 

i know that those big gas sucking v8s are fast, but i cant stand the personality that they bring to the car scene. everytime i see a camaro, a mustang, a fire chicken or some other redneck cruser all i can think is 17-year-old trailer trash that thinks hes tough.

Re:Camaro
 

true but im 27 so im not 17 lol

Re:Camaro
 

one of the stupidest things i've ever heard said

Re:Camaro
 

I don't want to give away my age but i had one almost exactly like that in high school! It was Blue With the White hockeystick side stripe. IT's funny though...i couldn't get that car out of the 15's just added a bigger carb and headers. I beat everything in that car! i paid $900 for that thing. you couldn't touch one of those for $5000 now. I thought that car was soooo fast. Now my Neon runs high 13's. Who would have thunk!

Re:Camaro
 

lol

Re:Camaro
 

I saw a turbo 60ish chevy nova run a 6.76@167 in the quarter once. It sounded like a jet. The turbo was huge. As big as a dinner plate. It was insane. But the guy was a jurk though and didn't talk to us. He just blew us off like we didn't know anything. If you arn't old or have a Domestic they won't talk to you. I use to live in Tulsa, OK and they had to make an Import night on thursdays because of fights. Thats B.S
