All my friends are hatin' because I'm selling my '99 Estorial Blue Metallic M3 (with 115k, but in real nice shape), but I've always wanted an SS and found a cherry collector's one in Atlanta. It's a 1999 white Camaro SS with only 15k!!! Grey leather interior. 6-speed. Has to be. I live in Lexington, SC and will be driving to Atlanta tomorrow to pick up the car. I am so excited.
I'm only 24, but before the M3 I had a 2000 Dakota R/T with the 5.9L. I had a ton of money in the motor/exhaust/suspension and had a Vortech V2 supercharger making about 8lbs. of boost. The truck had Mopar headers into true-duals, custom X-pipe, no cats and twin Magnaflows dumped over the rear axle. I can't wait to have a V8 again. I just like my ride to be obnoxiously loud. But sweet sounding...
Sorry, just ramblimng, but just looking for advice on what to do first and just some confirmation of what a nasty fast-ass vehicle I've bought! Don't know what kind of group there is here but I have previously been involved with the National Dakota R/T Club and then the BMW CCA. Done alot of drag racing and shows on the East coast. I plan to get back to drag racing with this SS. God. Can't wait!

No. I'm not saying it's a special collector's edition or anything - the guy who had it was just kind of a car collector so it was just sitting in a garage. not being driven.
I picked up the car yesterday and just got back home today. I love it. It is like a brand new car. exterior is flawless. there is not a scratch on it. sure it won't stay that way.
I think first thing on tap is gonna be a lower temp thermostat and a DiabloSport II.

wait on those two, do the lid and filter first, then move into exhaust, a diablo is worthless, and the lower t-stat wont do much for you at this point. -- 04 Torrid Red GTO M6

Yeah. I'm reading alot of negatives on the DiabloSport. Looks like a custom tune down the road will be the better alternative.
I guess I wanna go ahead an do the SLP lid and a K&N filter. maybe the smooth bellow thing. are the MAF sensors worth it? Think I'm gonna go with the SLP Loud Mouth II exhaust. Hotchkis suspension.
Eventually I wanna put the NX direct port nitrous system in. I'll get some pictures of the car after I wash it in the next day or two.

Click on "EDIT PROFILE" at the top of the page and take it from there.
Aftermarket MAFS aren't worth what you pay. The same thing can be acomplished with good tuning. And don't remove the screen from the stocker. --

I wouldnt bother with the maf, it will cause you more problems after you install than it is worth. -- 04 Torrid Red GTO M6
