Pics of my Mustang and Camaro

[Nacho98]

Here's my daily driver '98 Mustang GT, black/black leather, 5 speed, Mach 460, 17s (dealer pics are all I have for now, no I didn't pay sticker):

And here's my '90 Camaro RS, had it 12 years now, weekend only summer toy, second owner:

Thanks, the Camaro is basically just a clean stocker with the anemic 305 that's been lowered a couple inches. I've basically just been stockpiling NOS GM parts for it for the past couple years while I've been busy with other things, so I haven't been modding it really (or even driving it, really). I'm still at that crossroads where I can't figure out if I should do a stock resto on it or go all out with an LSX/T-56, etc. so for now I'm just stockpiling NOS parts as I come across them...I've got quite the expensive pile stashed, lol. Only thing is that the car is an auto (the stock T5 in those years was pathetic, only rated at 300 lb-ft, hence why all the 350 cars were autos--700R4 is a pretty stout tranny) and I don't really want to cut the floor for a clutch but if I put an LSX in I want a T56...if I mod, even though the car will never be worth anything, I'd still prefer everything to be reversible...oh, dilemmas. So for now it just retains its status as a clean turnkey stocker for the weekends while I get my SH*T together to buy a house etc.

It's not often you see a clean turdgen Camaro, someone's gotta bring up the rear, eh? It's a shame, because they are beautiful cars when the owners give two shAts about 'em. While the 225-245 hp/330 lb-ft 350 cars and the 230 hp TPI 305/T5 cars were actually 14 second cars, GM made so many more crappy 305 TBI (throttle body injection, think of a 2 bbl carb with two injectors on top of it, or as I call it, half-assed fuel injection) cars like this one that all the thirdgens got a horrible rep for being slow. Still handles like it's on rails though...just needs more power.

I like the lsx T56 idea.. but that car is soo clean. Looks like it just roled off the show room floor.

The only plans for the Mustang are to lower it and put on an X/Flows and call it a day...and pray that the plastic intake doesn't crack.

love the third gen :notworthy:

 

[mikey94gt]

Nice 3rd gen... been kinda kicking the idea 'round of buying one to plop a LS3 into.

 

[vibrantred5.0]

[duff daddy]

Thanks, a lot of people say that--one person said once that the top picture should've been in the factory brochure...I kind of agree.

Nice 3rd gen... been kinda kicking the idea 'round of buying one to plop a LS3 into.

I'd love to pick up a 305/T5 car and make it an SCCA auto-x whore. An LSX thirdgen would be awesome, because they are usually so slow/ragged out that nobody would see it coming.

What a beautiful Camaro! If it were me I would keep it stock because of the mint condition. You must feel like it's 1990 all over again with a brand new camaro pulling it out of the garage on weekends. Do you have any more pictures of it?

Thanks, it feels that way at times...I seem to get more people telling me I should leave it stock than modify it just because of how clean it looks; I've seen thousands of stock RS cars, and not to toot my own horn, but for some reason mine just stands out a little bit to me. I don't know if it's the color, the stance, or the white letter tires, but it just looks so good even with the pizza cutter 15x7 wheels and 215 tires.

wait wtf why is there snow ther!?!?!?! and holy hell 99

Haha, those pics were taken in February.

I do have a few more pics on this hard drive, but none of the interior/engine bay unfortunately:

These first few pics behind the garage may look a little funny in terms of the car's stance, it's because there is a little slope in the pavement:

A little orange peel, those BFGs are from 1999 (need to be replaced ASAP, should've never let them get that old to begin with):

Too bad this one didn't come out a bit sharper:

Couple night shots...look at the shine on that rear bumper!:

The paint is from 1992. Unfortunately the car was hailed on when it was just two years old, so it had to be resprayed (no paintless dent removal back then I guess??). If it wasn't for that, it'd be original paint.

once again, camaro looks niceeee

one of my dream cars is 87-89 iroc z

 

[JonBeast]

You MUST tell me what kind of camera you are using...some of those pictures are amazing.

Both cars look super clean man, very nice :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

[Nacho98]

Thanks, the camera used at the time was a 40D...but the camera wasn't as important as the L-series glass in front of it...thank god I gave up that hobby and sold all my crap before it consumed every dollar I had...

 

[Froush]

[rio red 95 vert]

Nice looking cars man

 

[Dysfunction]

Wow, both cars are reallly clean. I really don't think I've even seen that year camaro that clean. Just get a 383stroker motor for that thing! It would be pretty nasty. And completely reversible!
