A 1997 Chevrolet Camaro coupe. It's the 3.8 V6, freshly imported, only got 22k on the clock.

That looks great, nice low mileage too! Did you import it yourself? I have had mine for nearly four years now and it has been great. Have done lots of fettling over time, which I guess is part of the fun.

Nope, bought it from a place in Staines, though I am the first registered owner. Bit of a trek from here, but it's in better condition than any local ones I've seen advertised smile

Glad to hear the Z28 has been good to you!

Should do a 16 in the quarter mile. Best they ever got was in the 15s with accessory belts removed. Still, my 1987 Z28 5.0 V8 ran 16.2. You need to be saving up for an LS1 now....

Maybe so smile

In an ideal world it'd be fitted to a C5, but I really can't justify spending that amount out of my savings right now, sadly. I got a good offer on the BMW from a workmate, so took the chance to sell it and find a low mileage Mustang or Camaro. I think/hope I found a good one smile
