Her name is Sofie and she means a lot to me. No performance mods yet, but custom interior is in the works soon. Scoop, rims, grille, and custom paint job were already present when I bought her. All lighting except for tail lights (they're on back order) are aftermarket.

I bought this car with a damaged motor for 1K last year. I was my hope to rebuild the motor. A spun main bearing made repair impractical. I located a used 2002 motor from a Camaro with 48K on it. During the install I did several upgrades. The goal was to build an everyday car that would get 30 Miles per gallon highway and not boring to drive. All upgrade where done with this in mind.
Upgrades: OBX Headers, Centerforce Duel friction Clutch, Hurst Short thro shifter, Cold Air intake
Now as always you guys can do pretty much whatever you want to in order to get votes. But don't go posting threads to vote for you in every section, that's got to stay in OT.
Voting ends at midnight central time on September 30th.
Good luck to you all, now lets get it on!

Well my car has been redone inside out pretty much. I love how bright the paint is still after 164k miles now!
FTRA
Shaved lid (Whisper lid warped...)
Ported TB
Gasket matched intakes
Ported heads
Pacesetter headers
Custom exhaust with flowmaster mufflers over the axle (Going true duals soon)
QA1 12-way shocks all around
UMI tubular LCAs with poly bushings
32/19 Sway bars

Other than all that performance stuff, I've replaced the stereo system and added some headlights and tinted the tails and turn signals.
I'm in the process of sanding down my UIM and painting it as well as painting the valve covers. I will be going with red on black to match the theme of the car :D I may also paint some interior plastic pieces to match the them but idk yet. That will be for when it is stored this winter :P
Now for what most want to see... PICTURES! Gallery: (http://s697.photobucket.com/albums/vv336/evilkal09/)

I joined Camaroforums.com because of my 67. I built my 96 because of Camaroforums.com and what I have learned from it. I had been out of the car scene for 10 years and I knew nothing about 4th gens. Now instead of dreading my hour long commute everyday I look forward to it :)

alright, here it goes.
it's a 3.1L MPFI v6, 700R4 automatic, 3.23 open rear. she's bone stock.
i bought the car from my aunt nearly three years ago, she had gotten it from my uncle who lives in Missouri. well when he bought it, it was strictly used for racing. from 28000 miles to the 173000 that it has now, all were racing miles. the car has had a hard life, and LOVES WOT.
my car has been through a lot. she's actually sitting in storage right now, i'm saving up for a cherry picker and engine stand so i can repair the spun main bearings. she'll be back on the road soon.
so far, i've come in second place in class in points my first year out with her, and last year i took first in class. auto-x is absolutely awesome. :D

Well since everyone is campaigning their cars and adding extra pics, I guess I should, too. This is my '98 3800 series with 118K. I love this front view of her.http://www.camaroforums.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=578&pictureid=3568
Miss Sofie has some attitude, and so does her driver. She's certainly a head turner, but definitely a work in progress as well. Major interior mods are coming up within the next few weeks. She might not have a ton of performance mods, but she's all I've got for now.
just kidding. u all have great looking cars and i would be proud to own any of them. good luck and life to all of u.

Eh said girl has a very nice car. I love black. And I just don't feel like campaigning for it this time tbh... If I win, I win... If I don't, I don't. I still know my car has extremely shiny paint (Especially for the mileage!) and runs like a mad dog when I want it to so I am still a happy guy heh.

Funny you should ask. I'm a big fan of old-school Thoroughbred horse racing. My favorite filly is Ruffian. She was a big near-black filly. I loved her racing style. She took the the lead and never let that go. She won 9 for 9 races, completely undefeated until she became horribly injured during a match race and was put down. Her nick name during training was "Sofie" as in 'Sofie the Sofa' because she was easy to sit and ride. My old Nissan was named Sofie. I named her that because for one, it was black. And two, after I got everything fixed on it, it was a pretty nice ride. But then I got rid of my Nissan and bought the Camaro. So it was only right to continue the name. But this one is more fitting. My Sofie is a beast, and we like to be number 1, too.

She's not dirty, that's just light shining through the tree. I just went through a few weeks ago with parts cleaner to the bay
