Finally figured out what was causing my motor knock and ended up going with a forged crankshaft and bigger cam from texas speed while I was there. Car made 457 HP and 443 lb. ft. of torque at the wheels so I'm pretty happy. It did start randomly locking up the back right wheel at low speeds though so I have to figure that out when I can, but overall just happy the motor is finally good. I Moved away for tech school so its on the back burner right now, but I'm pretty sure its a slide pin sticking or some brake related issue, as it only happens when I try to stop from a low speed.

❓Question Buying a high milage 2018 Camaro ZL1

4 Upvotes

I am currently thinking about buying a 2018 ZL1 with 100k miles. To be honest the main reason is the price as I can't afford a low milage one.

Is it a bad idea? I am going to do a PPI but is there anything specific to look for in the LT4 engines ? Is the automatic transmission reliable like the manual ?

She's gonna rip, can't wait to post a cold start clip. Also going to do some additional mods, porting heads, intake and throttle body. 2"Headers w/3" duals, e85, mcleod rst twin disk clutchwith new slave. Hoping to hit 550-600hp and i guys with this kit think that might be a conservative estimate.

❓Question Buying a V6 Camaro suggestions

19 Upvotes

I posted on here about how I was renting an old 2015 automatic convertible Camaro RS. It’s been almost 2 weeks and I’m really digging this car.

It has just enough power to make it fun, but not get yourself in big trouble doing a light pull, it’s surprisingly really composed in the corners too.

This was something I disregarded as “base model v6 fake muscle car”. I was wrong

I think on a budget, this is a great value. Only thing this thing is missing is a manual transmission, a hard top (this mf is heavy), the most subtle barely louder than stock axle back exhaust and maybe better interior lighting.

I can see myself holding onto this thing for many years. Under 20k, should I grab a 2013-2015? 2016-2020? Would like to get the best condition and lowest mileage option available unless it’s worth it to stretch a little further for a newer model.

Also 87 octane is sweet

Last time it moved was in June, even with a nice car cover it still gets crazy dusty. Waiting to see what a dealer will offer on it, doesn't seem right to let it just sit.

🛠️ Problem 2018 Chevy Camaro 1SS

4 Upvotes

My friend just purchased a 2018 Camaro 1SS manual. Dropped me off at my house turned the corner and 1->2 the car NLS, instant flashing check engine light and heavy misfire. Pulled the codes and it has a #7 mis code. Pulled the spark plug, and it was wet (i think oil). Put a new plug in, still missed. Swapped coils, still #7 missing. Was running some diagnostic tests with it today on my scanner, and started to smell oil, didn't think much due to him changing the oil same time we did the plug. Turned around to see a cloud of thick smoke, white in color, smells like oil. Starting to wish it was just a lifter for his sake now, but my assumption is that #7 hole shit the bed. Pulled the new plug back out and it was wet again, with what smelt like oil.
