Just got one - Need some help/input.
I believe I found the greatest deal of my life today, and i'll share it with you now.
I just bought my first car: a 1995 3.4L Chevrolet Camaro with 70k miles for only $1200.
Now, I know most of you must be thinking this thing must not have came with an engine, or must have some extreme problem. But I kid you not, this baby runs beautifully:
The ONLY problems I so far have realized is a small dent on driver's side, and the power-locks are busted. Also a tear in the seat. But THAT's IT!
My question to you guys is where can I go from here? I was reading up on the modifications section for 3.8's, and i'm considering pursuing some new muffler or intakes and exhausts... what do you guys think I should do to add a little more kick? Or atleast sound?

Yes, good buy man... Get a high flow cat... a free flowing 2.5 or 3 inch exhaust, and a throttle body spacer, CAI ( cold air intake ), Retune the PCM, and slightly bigger injectors, Not too much you can SAFELY ( key word ) do to that motor without hurting your reliability. Make sure to check the head gasket on that motor at 100k, that is when they are due for a change on that engine. But thats a good, nice looking car.
