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.</blockquote>
