Hey everybody, im new to the world of Camaro's. I got my first camaro today, but I don't know too much about it, and I was hoping ya'll could help me, so here's what i know:

2001 Red LS1 SS Camaro
Corvette Engine- 5.7 L Signed by someone 9-22-2003
New Headers
Dual SLP Exhaust
Glow in the dark guages (SLP)
I paid $10k for it from a dealership.

Immaculate Condition- looks like new

Could someone tell me what I have HP wise and how much it's worth?

Nice looking car, don't care too much for the side stripes. As for what you have. All 98-02 Z/28 and SS Camaros had the LS1 engine, it's the same engine as the Vette of similar years (excluding the Z06). Depending on what headers you have and the tune thats in the car you could be putting down anywhere from 300-330 hp to the wheels. It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it, I would say you got a good deal on it.
*EDIT* after looking over the pics of the engine, I don't think you have headers, it looks like stock exhuast manifolds, you do have an air lid, and a smooth bellows. The Corvette fuel rail covers can be put on any LS1, they do not mean you have an engine from a Vette (see above). I bet you are putting arond 300 hp to the wheels. BTW welcome to the forum.

Nice Camaro, I dont care too much for the race stripes down the side either, but to each his own.

It should be fine, the car is new enough that I doubt it faded at all. And like Hiss said a hair dryer will take them right up.

Nice Camaro. How many miles does it have on it?? 10K is an awesome deal depending on the miles. especially from a dealership!! Im lookin at gettin basicly the same car in a manual, and Maybe the Firebird WS6 if I can afford it.

If it does look faded or anything like that, take it to a good body shop or dealer and have it buffed if they buff it right you shouldn't see any fade marks or anything.

Personally bro paying $10gs is not bad at all hell I paid 18000 for my car and it's a 2002 SS. And here in san antonio I know the banks would only offer a loan as his as 13500 for those model cars. Plus with the strut tower brace the lid thats a great buy good job now I wish I waited a little while longer [:o]

Car looks nice, especially for 10K... Id personally take off the black checkers and stripes though, would look much more cleaner in my opinion.
