Amir, these photograph do look darn good. You have used the angle and the direction as well as lighting setting is what makes the photograph professional work. The car itself is dang fine and the 0-60 is pretty fast. I'm totally watching the thread and perhap I could try to make an attempt to model it at some point.

It seems that putting Corvette rims on Camaros are a popular thing now.

Sweet ride there, don't drive it too hard until you get those problems fixed. Take care of her.

Have you thought on a nickname?

Will you STFU already? I didn't know all the mods died and made you king of NFSCars. GTFO with this ****ing nonsense already, I'm pretty sure the mods can handle the rule enforcing. In the meantime, either GTFO or comment on his car. ****, you do this in every car thread.

GTR, nice ride bro. I'm glad you got this instead of the Benzes. Congrats, now start fixing it up.

Just a question though, why does it only have one exhaust pipe? Am I missing something here?

Thanks for the kind comments. I won't be naming this one for now. And the previous owner was a Filipino-descendant kid, maybe 5 years or so older than myself.

For sure man, I'll get it fixed up asap. The one on the right was cut off in favor of the cut out. It can be manually opened and make it sound really loud. But I rather not do that, as it is already loud enough.

You have some kinda problem with me, asshole? Stop following me around in every thread and posting your trolling BS. Perhaps when you've been here for more than 2 months, you can start running your mouth.

@Pooya: Engine and generally MOAR shots or GTFO.

Sucks about the exhausts though. Maybe in your time of owning, you will strap some shiny dualies.

And damn the water pump for this car is expensive.

If you're thinking this is cool, think again.

Today I traveled almost 20 miles and by the time I was back home, the car had consumed more than one quarter of the gas tank.

Looking at it very optimistically, it has done an incredible FIVE miles to the gallon.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Somethings got to be wrong with that car to only get 5 miles dude... Get it looked at and fix the damn thing. You should be getting at least 15 mpg.

After reading this, I would say that if your having Diff problems, that may be one or only problem with the milage, but Somethings telling me its more.

I think that was a mistake. Sure its no gas sipper but it isn't that bad. Today I ran outta gas and got it towed to my friend's mechanic shop, then we filled it up with about 9 gallons of gas. After the 9 gallons the tank showed full. Which means that yesterday I had gone 20 miles with about 2 gallons of gas. That's an incredible 10 miles to the gallon.

When I took it to my friend's mechanic shop they gave me a lotta shit about why I bought an American car and why I bought a car with so many problems bla bla bla...I think I phailed this time and I may need to fix it up a little and sell it right away.

Where you messed up was buying someone elses problems. Whatever the guy you bought it from is laughing all the way to the bank.

If your going to fix your Camaro anyways, just keep it.... Better yet. Make the other guy pay for it if you can.
Besides, thats what you wanted. Dont do what your friends want you to do. It's not their car.

Actually he took a ton of loss on the car. He had spent 1900 dollars on a new tranny alone. He had the receipt too. Poor guy had gotten ripped off himself, he didn't even need a new tranny. And let alone all the mods he did himself.

He was hoping to sell it for 5500. He lowered it to 4500 when I told him I have 4k. Then I said I have 4000 and that's all I have. He removed two 80 dollar pioneer subs and said "ok I guess I can give it to you for 4000 but only if you buy it today.." I didn't buy it that day, and took it for the inspection. We found out about the problems. He lowered to 3700.

Despite those problems the mechanic who is a close friend of ours advised me that these are "common on these cars" and are only "regular maintenance" that would be needed on any car and it's a good deal. "It's a good car, it just needs some TLC. If you like it, go for its, it's a good deal." This guy barely charges me anything for labor. He's the same guy who repaired my Impala for 650 when everyone else was asking for 1200 to 2000.

I still wasn't very interested until the owner lowered to 3500 himself. He seemed to be in a hurry, apparently he really needed the money. And he was complaining that he needs to find another 500 to pay for...whatever he was trying to pay for.

So I bought it from him. I hadn't slept the night before it, and I was extremely tired. I barely knew wtf I was doing.

My friends are amazed at how immaculate it looks though. If only it wasn't because of those looks...

Still makes me kinda wonder why he was in such a rush to get rid of it, but hey.

My best bud had a problem like yours when he bought a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherrokee Limited for 9 grand. But the only problems he had/has was faulty climate control system and needs the complete rear diff replaced. Other than that he was getting a 50,000 mile Jeep that looked like it only had 10 miles.

Anyways, like I said. Just fix whatever needs fixed, and drive her. You'll later see that your money put into fixing it will be worth it, after you've really got to play around with the car.

Damn bro, I only paid 2 grand for mine. So far, all it's needed was a new battery and wiper blades. I hope you didn't get into a money pit.

Considering that he's already said that he was going to fix it and possibly sale it is reason enough to say to keep it after it's fixed.
It's obvious, you haven't read in the Offtopic section about me thinking of going to college... You'll see, I'm not made of money.

Ah, cmon MCF, you said it yourself right here man!
If it's something more, me and you both know it'll cost more to repair, hence my statement.
Keep it if you got the money to get it where you want it, but if that's any question, there's no reason to throw money at it if you don't have the investment. Now, I would imagine he's going to sell it if it costs him any more than it has to, which I see as a legitimate reason to sell. Otherwise, yeah man, keep 'er.

Ah, cmon MCF, you said it yourself right here man!
If it's something more, me and you both know it'll cost more to repair, hence my statement.
Keep it if you got the money to get it where you want it, but if that's any question, there's no reason to throw money at it if you don't have the investment. Now, I would imagine he's going to sell it if it costs him any more than it has to, which I see as a legitimate reason to sell. Otherwise, yeah man, keep 'er.

Sure, I'm not gonig to argue with you there.
I just assumed that he was still going to fix what needs fixed, and either keep it or sale it. Just trying to talk him into keeping it ONLY if he plans on fixing it anyways.

Personally, I would have told the guy he bought it from that the deal was off, if there is more wrong than the guy told him. Other than that, GTR knew what he bought before hand. He made the bed, now its time to sleep in it, however, It's up to him how he plans to sleep.

I was originally going to come in here and post "This is going to be a money pit." Guess I don't have to do that now. Good luck, GTRmenz.

500 bucks huh? I can sell the rims alone for more than that. Yeah, I actually got that offer, didn't take it. You don't live in California man.

I'm getting about 20 in town. Almost too good to believe. Someone told me it might be a bad gasket, idk. But again, I can't even step on it, the diff wouldn't take it. Just got owned by some chick last night in an Audi...soon as I put my foot down TA TA TA TA...and she was laughing her ass off.

The guy who checked it for me is the cheapest guy in town. At least for me. When I tell even my best friend's brother, who owns a mechanic shop, the quotes my own mechanic gives me, he goes "whaaa?? impossible!! you know what, take it there, cause that's gonna cost you twice.... go ask." So far he fixed my Impala for 650 while everyone else wanted twice or triple that. I even called this ghetto ass Vietnamese guy who's got a shop out of the town, and even he wanted 1400 bucks for it. He didn't do a shabby job either, I drove that Impala like I had stolen it for another 6 months with no maintenance at all. No problem whatsoever.

I still have the car for sale. Haven't gotten any serious offers yet, mostly just low balls. Who knows, I might actually end up keeping it. Cause I'm not gonna sell it for less than I bought it. Why would I? Just because some dumbass mexican thug is telling me to? Hell no.

This reminds me of those Pinks cars which they put together in 2 days and go racing with... The cars fall apart during the show.
