I had to say good bye to my MS3 a few days ago, it was a sad sad day...
But I picked up a new ride, 2016 Camaro 1SS. 455hp 455tq should keep me happy for awhile.
I'm planning to keep it stock, maybe just new intake. It came with the adjustable exhaust, and the V8 already sounds awesome, so I don't think I'll be replacing that... for now.
I wanted the black wheels, but they didn't have it in stock. I'll probably just powder coat these ones, eventually. But other than that, and maybe a few cosmetic changes, it'll stay stock for the most part. Can't wait to really drive this thing and try the launch control after the break-in.
Goodbye Speed3... :(

Re: Good bye Speed3... :(
Congrats! I reallllly thought about going the muscle car direction after the ST. Had I known I would be selling the Miata a few months later, I would've replaced the FoST with either a Mustang GT or Challenger Scat Pack and replaced the Miata with an old project truck. I didn't look at the Camaros.

Re: Good bye Speed3... :(
Thank you. I was looking at the Mustang GT too last year... Until I read about and saw the 2016 Camaro. Brand new chassis from the Cadillac ATS-V, one of the best chassis around (200+lbs lighter and 28% stiffer), and more powwa!!! I like the new more aggressive design than the previous too. It out performs the Mustang in every category too.

That is going to be a lot of fun.
Looks great and enjoy it!

9 kids? I couldn't handle that, lol. I would want that fourth bay to have a door that locks out anyone from inside the house so I could get away.

Minor cosmetic mod... black bowties and front Street Scene splitter. I just plastidip the splitter because I don't want to spend that kind of money on paint since it'll get dinged up anyway. Plus it's cheap.
Also installed Mishimoto Oil Catch can at around 400 mi. - since this LT1 is direct injected.
