Hi all! Figured I would make a little introduction post, because in the thread that I asked a simple question, I'm getting a lot of questions about my cars. My name is Mike, I'm a graphic designer and I'm the Administrator over on the Monte Carlo Forum, but frequent tons of other w-body forums just learning everything I can about these cars. Huge GM fan.
Let's start with my daily driver, because there isn't much to it. Bought it brand new in March 2013. It's an Inferno Orange Camaro 1LS. Currently, I removed the front bowtie, added black vinyl to my side gills, matte black racing stripes, ColdAirInductions.com black powder coated CAI, Ported TB, and an Apex-Speed Catch Can.
Next up is my baby and my current project car. Again, bought brand-new in February 2000. Fell in love with the Monte Carlo redesign, and the car. Custom ordered from GM because the SS came with a sunroof and I did not want one. Was my daily driver for 9 years before I retired it from DD duty. It currently has over 190,000 miles on it. Owned a few others cars as DDs before the 2013 Camaro.
The Monte Carlo. It is powered by a Paxton Novi 1000 Supercharger using Stattama's CSC kit. ZZP HVTB, ZZP HV3, ZZP ER Rockers, ZZP Front Powerlog, ZZP Downpipe with gutted cat, GMPP Cat-Back Exhaust. 18" Eagle 077 Rims, custom painted bottom trim, SLP Grille, Grand Prix Roof Rails, Silver scripts on the sides, debadged rear. 2006 Monte Carlo spoiler, LED Tails, Blacked out reverse lens and 3rd brake light. Wheelskins wrapped steering wheel, leather wrapped bonneville shifter, Red bowtie head rests. Possibly more things done to it, just can't think of it right now haha.
How it sits most days haha
