    A little photo history of my '96 V6 (image heavy)

    This is pretty much how it looked when I got it:


    Then it got the hood and spoiler in '03 from ASCD:


    After that, the engine received a cam and the heads got some attention:





    Continued in next post....

    After that....

    After that, I got a great deal from SLP on some first-run SS 10-spokes:


    The interior after I threw some power-seat brackets under the original seat and put in a new center-console lid:


    And, how it sits today:



    It was the extreme plain-Jane Camaro when I bought it. There were absolutely no options on the car whatsoever. Not even power windows or a rear-window defroster. But, it's been a great car to drive for 10 years now and I enjoy the heck out of it. Along the way it also received a good cat-back system from Flowmaster. I know tons of people knock the Flowmasters on the V6 cars for being raspy when you get on it, but this system doesn't have that problem at all. The car is no LT1 or LS1, but it sounds good, runs strong, and has put a few Five-Ohs in their place over the years.

    Wow awesome detailed photo story of your Camaro man thanks for sharing! Felt like I was right there along with ya for the build.

    Looks like you really spent some time on your baby and looks like you take great care of it in that last photo when its done Im wowed it is IMMACULATE! Looks like a brand new Camaro that just rolled off the showroom floor with a fresh wax and dealer plates!

    I think its cool how you built up that V6 and I have heard some that sound pretty cool with the right exhaust and tuning. Dont let 2 cylinders hold ya back from tearin up the pavement I bet that thing knows how to shock a few Mustang guys that never knew what hit them... What... HUH??? A CAMARO V6 JUST SMOKED ME!!!??? WHAT??? I can hear their thoughts now... LOL!

    It's truer than ya' think. I beat one Mustang and he followed me home to see what I had beat him with. He didn't believe a 6-cylinder whooped his 5.0, so I popped the hood and shocked the hell out of him. LOL
