Nice article. Wow that car is sick. What steering wheel is that? Cuz I thought the older model v6s had the 2 horn buttons on the side and the newer years had the radio controls. She's got neither.

As I recall, non-Monsoon Camaros did NOT receive the steering wheel controls. I purposely looked for that feature when buying my latest V6 Camaro...

Oh nice. Yeah I don't like the steering wheel I have with the 2 horn buttons on the sides. Plus its really worn in 1 spot. I'm gonna replace it and didn't know what the differences were on each model. Thanks.

Just had an exchange with Benchmark Tuning in Melrose Park, IL, and was told
"The reason why I don't like their stuff is because their support is awful and the turbos they use are not good. They always have a tendency of leaking oil and getting seized up. We can get you the kit but I do not recommend it."
Caveat emptor. I have no experience with them, just passing on what a shop with experience said...

You guys...what about the STS Remote mounted Turbo Kit? This thing is universal...mounted under your car with the exhaust isn't it? Someone look into it

The video shows the guys from Powerblock TV putting it on a truck. And I thought I heard someone say their neighbor put it on their Chrysler Sebring and it started destroying things.
