Absolutely beautiful car. I had a 2010 Transformers Edition SS that was my all time favorite car. I sold it two years later and I regret it every day. I just recently bought another Transformers Edition SS which is a 2012. It's nowhere near as nice as my 2010 was but I plan on changing that....
I've played with the idea of selling mine a few times as well, but that's exactly what I am worried about. I know I would regret it. I have some much time, money, and effort into this I know I would have big regrets. Not to mention my kids would be devastated. They love the car.

As of now I am running stock boost and made roughly 550 at the wheels. I am currently upgrading the fuel system and upping the boost just a bit. I am looking to push it to no more than 600 at the wheels. It has a stock bottom end so I don't want to blow the thing up. Not to mention I don't think I would want to explain to my wife why I need to take an additional 10 grand out of saving to fix my motor.
Wheels, calibers, and brakes are fantastic. Nice upgrades. Hopefully you still have the car. It's beautiful. A guy in my subdivision had a bumble bee 5th gen he got rid of a couple yrs back and got a blue 6th gen. I can't help but wonder if he misses his older Camaro.
This car is my DREAM CAR!!! like down to the inch! I'm only 16 but i have wanted the car ever since it came out in 2010! its got the stick shift and everything! NICE car and wish i had enough money to get myself one! I've been saving for it since 2010 but not close yet.... :(

nice ride man i had the same TSWs in the same finish on my old 10' SS and i got them painted black and loved them. and i had the SAME tires and almost same setup but i had 285s upfront. badass ride man i upgraded from my 10' ss since it was an auto and grabbed a 15' 1LE. just got headers cai and tune done almost a month ago i have a couple vids up of it
I actually saw your camaro on camaro5 months ago and had pictures of it saved on my phone. So glad I found a video of it randomly lol. I recognized it mainly because of the "say go" plate. Awesome car though man.

Charlie Brown Photography Here's a good thread to follow on Camaro 5. You have different finishes to decide on. The finish I have is what they referred to as matte gunmetal. There are also optional offsets that you can go with. If you go through the post it will explain some of that. www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=245033
I was thinking about selling my gen 5 SS but now that I’ve seen this I would very much so love to do most of the things that you have done like the supercharger I’m from Michigan to so if you could point me in the direction of we’re you got the supercharger done I would really appreciate it thanks for this wonderful video and inspiration.
I ordered mine through RPM Race Proven Motorsports, but there are many vendors to choose from that sell Magnuson superchargers or similar equivalent blowers. As for the install, I did it myself. It came with a full color book that walked me through page by page. I had it custom tuned by Lideo over at Alternative Auto performance. They also will do the install if it something you want done. My car is fairly conservative making 575 to the wheels. I do have another pulley, but have not changed it yet. That one will put me over 600 rwhp. You won't regret it. It will drive like a new car. Just be prepared for some new sticky tires.
Trust me it's not as hard to attain as you might think. I just upgraded from my V6 RS to the ZL1 (My dream car). It really just takes hard work and dedication!

AMG or BUST Thank you. I appreciate your feedback. It has been a fun journey. The power issue is really not a problem with these cars to fix. Just bolt on a blower, supporting mods, and a good tune and you're all set. As for the rest it comes down to Cosmetics which differ for everyone. I tried to be tasteful and everything I have done to the car.
On your powder coated calipers you said you had the Brimbo decal on it. is that just the decal that you just press on that you got off the Internet? If so how is that performing with the heat and washing?
when I had them powder coated, the guy that did them put the decal on and then did a clear Powdercoater over them. There is no possible way for them to ever come off.
+Elias “Skipper543” Dib Thanks man. I've done additional mods since the video. I am now running an Overdrive cog pully in the rear which has increased boost quite a bit from what it was. It now has an upgraded fuel system and bigger injectors. I also removed the hi-flow cats. I have not been on the dyno with it yet, but I am hoping to be somewhere around 630 on the dyno I normally use for tuning.
thank you very much. As for the 6th generation , I like it a lot. Personally I don't ever plan on buying one, but I think they are very nice and more refined then the fifth generation which you would expect from a newer model. I'm curious to see some of the performance numbers coming out of the new ZL1.
Timothy Wheaton including the price of the vehicle I would say probably somewhere around 50,000. This was with me doing all the work. I got a really good deal on the super charger. I had it shipped to my house for $5,400. the car is making approximately 630 to the wheels now. So for the money it's a lot of car. I could have gone another route and purchased a ZL1 up front, however there was no ZL1 in 2010. Not to mention it has been a fun Journey for me.
Yeah I really like your SS over the ZL1. Good job that you have done. Im getting ready to start one of those journeys myself. Im subscribed so I can continue your build! Thanks !
Did you ever get the separate clutch fluid reservoir? I’m assuming you probably know all about it. It’s a 04-06 Pontiac GTO clutch fluid reservoir, which companies like JDP and Gen5DIY make a custom mounting kit for. I find that with the Tremec manual transmissions, with the concentric slave cylinder/throwout bearing, you have an inevitable, chronic case of clutch dust contamination. I’m sure you’ve heard all about the ‘Ranger’ clutch care method, back in the day, where the guy went to go check his brake/clutch fluid analyzed in a lab, and found a ton of clutch dust particles contaminating his master cylinders, right after just one day at the track. It’s mainly really bad when you drive hard, since I believe the clutch dust and wind speed combined, force the clutch dust particles even more so up through the slave cylinder and into the clutch fluid (and brakes, if running the stock shared master cylinder reservoir). But even if you drive a lot, the clutch fluid is going to wind up getting dirty, just at a slower rate. I’ve been alternating in between nice and decent DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 brake fluids, as I don’t always drive my car hard; although I drive my car fairly often, with it being my current daily driver. I don’t think I’ve personally put any brake fluid with less than at least a 500+ F temp DRY boiling point.
No, I never did the GTO fluid reservoir. It was on my to-do list. I still have it bookmarked on my computer. I wanted to do it at the same time I had the McLeod clutch put in. Maybe this summer I'll finally get around to it.
I have a 2011 ss with the same shifter, Borla cat backs, air raid CAI, and a Diablo tuner, it puts out roughly 500 you need to get yours Dynoed I guarantee that it puts out more than 550, also I'm thinking about getting long tube Kooks, are they worth it?
My car makes 550 to the wheels. That translates to about 630hp if you figure 15% drivetrain loss. You must be tthinking 550 flywheel. There is NO WAY a car with your mods will make 500 to the wheels on an accurate dyno. Bone stock my car made 370 on a Mustang brand dyno which are conservative. With my Rotofab CAI and a custom tune it made 385. Once I added longtubes and a fulll exhaust it made 410 to the wheels. I try not to get caught up in the numbers to much other than a measuring tool from where my car originally started.
Nice SS......I had my wife's 2010 2SS modified and built in and out a few years back (left it NA though).....Have you Dynoed yours?.....if so, what are the numbers?
Daniel Grant Considering I did most of the work myself, I would say around $14,000. That's everything. I've had others ask why I just did not buy a ZL1, but I bought the car late 2009, so there was no option for me to get the ZL1. Not to mention this was a lot more fun to make it my own.
Daniel Grant I'm running the 3.6 pulley up front which was not done in the video. I upgraded my fuel system for safety now. last time on the dyno it made 575 to the wheels. I also picked up the OD cog drive pulley which I have not installed yet. Once I get that on I should be around 620. I need to get bigger injectors before I change it out...that's what I'm waiting on.
if you're going to the quad tips you will have to change the lower Valance. Give me a few minutes and I will find you the link to my write-up I did on Camaro 5. That will pretty much explain what is required. You have a couple of choices. You can either go with the ZL1 diffuser comma or you can go with the same diffuser that would come on the 1LE Camaro.
+IVAN SOTELO Here is where i got the Afterburners from: www.automotivelightstore.com/home.aspxI have had no issues at all and its been 4 years.Here's a write up I did on Camaro5 for instulation: www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=245285
How did you get the spark restorations front and rear ss emblem to be black w/yellow? I only see them as polished w/yellow. I really want the ones you got.
I had to call them directly. I can't remember exactly, but I thought they changed me 15 bucks more for each emblem to have the matte black instead of the polished. probably one of my favorite mods. really sets you apart from other 5th gens.
+Tha Snowman8732 if you just go to their website they should have a number directly. The guy was pretty cool that I talk to you. I have never really seen them advertised anywhere like this. everyone I see is polished. I don't see why they would not do it anymore.
+newagemuscle2010ss Called today and the guy said they dont really do them anymore as they see it as a loss. He mention that they spray 100 at a time and to do one would cost me like $50 more. Price is already rediculous, idk...
+Tha Snowman8732 I hear you. That was a tough pill to swallow. I had a little bit to drink before I made the phone call. It was hard to spend $350 on a piece of aluminum.
This is where I bought them from. This is the company that actually makes them. There are other distributors out there though, but from what I've seen the prices are just about the same. I know if you go through these guys you can have your emblems customized. I preferred the black over the Chrome and any of the distributors I delbt with would not offer that. If you go through these guys they will do whatever you want. sparksrestoration.com/pages/2010.htm
newagemuscle2010ss Thank you! I also don't really know much about engines yet, but does a supercharger harm your engine? I read somewhere that it can damage it in the long run. Just curious.
A supercharger won't harm your engine if set up correctly. There are a lot of factors to look at, such as, the amount of boost your making, your fuel system, and having a good tuner. All these can be detrimental to your engine life if not monitored. I did not know much either in the beginning... and still have a lot to learn. Thanks to forums like Camaro5 I have gained tones of knowledge.
here in the US with the modifications I have done, the condition and the low mileage I would hope to get about $30,000. That is not guaranteed though. A lot of times it comes down to what the buyer is willing to pay when a car has been modified like mine. Sorry I cannot give you more insight than that.
thanks for the insight!!it´s excellent!! i´ll keep on dreaming with this Camaro, that i can´t evem afford to think about bauying, considering the gas price today(1.50€), circulation tax (more than 250€ every year)....who knows one day......
I like the build you did. I was curious about the Sparks Restorations emblems you got. I checked their site but only see yellow/polished and not the yellow/satin or black like yours. Did you paint the edges of those emblems or did you order them like that from sparks?
thank you for the compliment. as for the matte-black, I paid $15 extra per emblem. You might want to call them to find out. I called them directly. I had someone else inquire about the same thing and they told me that Sparks would not do them matte anymore.
+Chris Harlin wow... That's a lot. Not that they are cheap to begin with. I will say this it truly does make the car look awesome and very unique to anything else you will see on the road. I guess you could always try doing the mat look yourself. You would have to create some type of template though. are you on Camaro 5?
Yeah it is. He explained that they used to paint all the emblems themselves at the beginning but now they have a company that paints them 100 emblems at a time which is why it's more expensive. I will just order them one emblem at a time. I will be on Camaro 5 later today since I keep getting led back to that site when looking for build ideas.
+BrembleBee look me up on there. I have lots of different pictures and I'm always happy to answer any questions that you may have. My username is just newagemuscle.
Ok, basically how does your 2010 drive on a twisty road? I'm looking at a high mileage 2010 6-speed and suspect the streeting/suspension has deteriorated over time/use.
@@paulcupach9930 for what I do it drives fine.I don't really have a ton of twisty roads by me and I'm not really into the road course thing. The way the car since I think it handles pretty decent. I've never really been interested in making any type of suspension modification. I did intend on lowering it at one point, but after seeing how my brother's car road after doing so I changed my mind.
@newagemuscle2010ss I have a yellow and black strips 2010 1LT/RS (stock) can you tell me how to do halo and fog light when starts (I think DRL harness) a Do It Yourself video please.... CAI yours is great I'm think about get it.... (LED Afterburner Effect Tail Lamp Rings) I'll get it later..... cheer man you have a badazz :)
Trill T0ny - Yes, a few things here and there. I boosted it by changing my front pulley from the 3.8 to the 3.6. At the same time I upgraded to the ZL1 fuel pump and ADM fuel control module. This summer, after blowing the stock clutch, I installed the McLeod RXT clutch and fly wheel. I also picked up the OD Cog drive for more boost since I am bored with the power. It will be going on as soon as I get bigger injector. Also, Mickey Thompson DR's. I've kind of pushed it to the side over the past couple of years because I bought a cottage. Now I'm maintaining a boat, jet skis, sleds, quads, and my kids dirt bikes. Wish I had more time.
415bigk I'm not exactly sure. I knew it one time, but I don't remember the exact amount. Considering I did all the work myself except the tuning I would have to believe somewhere in the area of 12 to $14,000. There are a few things that are not in the video that I have done since. I've upgraded the fuel system and probably a couple other things I can think of at the moment. If I would have paid someone to do all of it, it definitely would have been much higher. I just don't like anyone working on my vehicle except me. All and all it seems like a lot of money, but considering I got the vehicle for around $35,000 with my GM discount and putting the money I did into the mods, I now have a 700+ horsepower car for around $50,000. Next to a Hellcat, you're not going to get that type of power level for close to that price.
Wiper delete? IDK man, you never know when a storm could pop up. I always prepare for worst case scenario..... But I am in Florida so.... Happens often here
Well, it was short lived. I put them back on a couple years ago. I will say this, it did make the car look better and a lot more sleeker. You don't really pay attention to something like that because you're so used to seeing wipers on every car. and yes, probably good to be prepared for a worst-case scenario even if you don't plan on driving it in the rain.
@@newagemuscle2010ss i didn't check to see how old the video was. I just got a used 2010 ss m6 about a week ago. It's got just over 90000 miles on it. Seems to be in good shape. Your car is great! You gave me a lot of good ideas. I do feel like the weak point of the car is the tranny/clutch, driveshaft/rear end. Skip shift delete will be my first mod.
@@brandonarnold8681 congrats on your new ride. Yes there are some weak points when you start to push the car. I blew my clutch last year and had to put in a McLeod twin disc to handle the power. The video is definitely a few years old, but it is still one of my true Passions. I've done several other things to it since. I have a lot more I would like to do, but it all comes down to money. For me I have three kids, so they're expensive to begin with.
@@newagemuscle2010ss thanks I'm really excited. I had an lt1 f body and I'm really enjoying the nicer interior, ride quality, and power. I will admit I was tempted to get a mustang.... I've heard plenty of newer 5.0's and they sound good with exhaust. But my family has always been GM... I'd feel I punched my Dad in the stomach if I brought home a Ford.
@@brandonarnold8681 I had an LT1 as well back in the day. It was a trans am WS6. 1997 to be exact. As for mustang, guilty. I have owned four of them. I'm not totally brand-loyal, I really do like the mustangs, challengers and chargers. I typically stick to GM because my family has always been GM and I am also a GM employee, so they kind of frown upon us buying other competitor vehicles.
you're probably right. However, mine is a 2010 purchased in 2009. There was no ZL1 at the time. actually, when I add up everything I have into the car and considering I did all the work myself I am probably still $10,000 under what a zl1 would have cost new.
+prusso09 If you're looking for a local Camaro club I would recommend looking into Detroit5thgen. I know they have a lot of numbers. I once in a great while would attend some of their events, but have not in probably a couple years. I myself am more into cruising than sitting with a bunch of other Camaros, but to each their own. As for car shows, I know on Monday nights they have a car show at Ram's Horn inside the Lakeside Mall Circle. Occasionally me and a few of my buddies will meet up there.

Nice Camaro!!
thanks man
Sweetness!!
That car is sick wish I had it
thanks man
Beautiful just beautiful. smh
do you like the heritage grill? Nice built !!
On your powder coated calipers you said you had the Brimbo decal on it. is that just the decal that you just press on that you got off the Internet? If so how is that performing with the heat and washing?
when I had them powder coated, the guy that did them put the decal on and then did a clear Powdercoater over them. There is no possible way for them to ever come off.
crazy build! cant wait to get my hands on my SS! BTW how much HP does your engine produce? about 600?
+Elias “Skipper543” Dib Thanks man. I've done additional mods since the video. I am now running an Overdrive cog pully in the rear which has increased boost quite a bit from what it was. It now has an upgraded fuel system and bigger injectors. I also removed the hi-flow cats. I have not been on the dyno with it yet, but I am hoping to be somewhere around 630 on the dyno I normally use for tuning.
nice ride man
And I still driving a Mazda 6 ): lol idk when is gonna be that day when I get this beauty /:

Very well done mods. Mind i ask how do you feel about the 6th gen camaro.
thank you very much. As for the 6th generation , I like it a lot. Personally I don't ever plan on buying one, but I think they are very nice and more refined then the fifth generation which you would expect from a newer model. I'm curious to see some of the performance numbers coming out of the new ZL1.

Really nice build. Great attention to detail! Around how much do you figure you have invested in your build now ??
Timothy Wheaton including the price of the vehicle I would say probably somewhere around 50,000. This was with me doing all the work. I got a really good deal on the super charger. I had it shipped to my house for $5,400. the car is making approximately 630 to the wheels now. So for the money it's a lot of car. I could have gone another route and purchased a ZL1 up front, however there was no ZL1 in 2010. Not to mention it has been a fun Journey for me.
Yeah I really like your SS over the ZL1. Good job that you have done. Im getting ready to start one of those journeys myself. Im subscribed so I can continue your build! Thanks !
Can I ask where you got the rear spoiler from?
I ordered it directly from the manufacturer next level performance. I don't believe they're in business anymore.
Did you ever get the separate clutch fluid reservoir? I’m assuming you probably know all about it. It’s a 04-06 Pontiac GTO clutch fluid reservoir, which companies like JDP and Gen5DIY make a custom mounting kit for.
I find that with the Tremec manual transmissions, with the concentric slave cylinder/throwout bearing, you have an inevitable, chronic case of clutch dust contamination. I’m sure you’ve heard all about the ‘Ranger’ clutch care method, back in the day, where the guy went to go check his brake/clutch fluid analyzed in a lab, and found a ton of clutch dust particles contaminating his master cylinders, right after just one day at the track.
It’s mainly really bad when you drive hard, since I believe the clutch dust and wind speed combined, force the clutch dust particles even more so up through the slave cylinder and into the clutch fluid (and brakes, if running the stock shared master cylinder reservoir). But even if you drive a lot, the clutch fluid is going to wind up getting dirty, just at a slower rate.
I’ve been alternating in between nice and decent DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 brake fluids, as I don’t always drive my car hard; although I drive my car fairly often, with it being my current daily driver. I don’t think I’ve personally put any brake fluid with less than at least a 500+ F temp DRY boiling point.
No, I never did the GTO fluid reservoir. It was on my to-do list. I still have it bookmarked on my computer. I wanted to do it at the same time I had the McLeod clutch put in. Maybe this summer I'll finally get around to it.

Check out my write up on Camaro5:

I have a 2011 ss with the same shifter, Borla cat backs, air raid CAI, and a Diablo tuner, it puts out roughly 500 you need to get yours Dynoed I guarantee that it puts out more than 550, also I'm thinking about getting long tube Kooks, are they worth it?
My car makes 550 to the wheels. That translates to about 630hp if you figure 15% drivetrain loss. You must be tthinking 550 flywheel. There is NO WAY a car with your mods will make 500 to the wheels on an accurate dyno. Bone stock my car made 370 on a Mustang brand dyno which are conservative. With my Rotofab CAI and a custom tune it made 385. Once I added longtubes and a fulll exhaust it made 410 to the wheels. I try not to get caught up in the numbers to much other than a measuring tool from where my car originally started.
cool!
Nice SS......I had my wife's 2010 2SS modified and built in and out a few years back (left it NA though).....Have you Dynoed yours?.....if so, what are the numbers?

Where did you get the ss badge on the back
sparksrestoration.com/pages/index.html
i know i'm years late , but how much of money have you put in the car all together ? under the hood , ex/interior and all ?
Daniel Grant Considering I did most of the work myself, I would say around $14,000. That's everything. I've had others ask why I just did not buy a ZL1, but I bought the car late 2009, so there was no option for me to get the ZL1. Not to mention this was a lot more fun to make it my own.
that's amazing .. i'm getting ready to buy a 2012 SS and supercharge it like yours . Do you know how much of horsepower you're kicking out?
Daniel Grant I'm running the 3.6 pulley up front which was not done in the video. I upgraded my fuel system for safety now. last time on the dyno it made 575 to the wheels. I also picked up the OD cog drive pulley which I have not installed yet. Once I get that on I should be around 620. I need to get bigger injectors before I change it out...that's what I'm waiting on.
i got a 2010 camaro ss and im trying to put dual tip exhaust but i can figure out if i gotta customize the rear lower bumper cover or get a zl1 one?
if you're going to the quad tips you will have to change the lower Valance. Give me a few minutes and I will find you the link to my write-up I did on Camaro 5. That will pretty much explain what is required. You have a couple of choices. You can either go with the ZL1 diffuser comma or you can go with the same diffuser that would come on the 1LE Camaro.
hopefully this helps.

How did you get the spark restorations front and rear ss emblem to be black w/yellow? I only see them as polished w/yellow. I really want the ones you got.
I had to call them directly. I can't remember exactly, but I thought they changed me 15 bucks more for each emblem to have the matte black instead of the polished. probably one of my favorite mods. really sets you apart from other 5th gens.
+newagemuscle2010ss I figured that was the case, I hope they can still do it. Thanks for the fast reply
+Tha Snowman8732 if you just go to their website they should have a number directly. The guy was pretty cool that I talk to you. I have never really seen them advertised anywhere like this. everyone I see is polished. I don't see why they would not do it anymore.
+newagemuscle2010ss Called today and the guy said they dont really do them anymore as they see it as a loss. He mention that they spray 100 at a time and to do one would cost me like $50 more. Price is already rediculous, idk...
+Tha Snowman8732 I hear you. That was a tough pill to swallow. I had a little bit to drink before I made the phone call. It was hard to spend $350 on a piece of aluminum.
Where did you get the front and rear SS emblems from
Give me a few and I will find you the link.
This is where I bought them from. This is the company that actually makes them. There are other distributors out there though, but from what I've seen the prices are just about the same. I know if you go through these guys you can have your emblems customized. I preferred the black over the Chrome and any of the distributors I delbt with would not offer that. If you go through these guys they will do whatever you want.

newagemuscle2010ss Thank you!
I also don't really know much about engines yet, but does a supercharger harm your engine? I read somewhere that it can damage it in the long run. Just curious.
A supercharger won't harm your engine if set up correctly. There are a lot of factors to look at, such as, the amount of boost your making, your fuel system, and having a good tuner. All these can be detrimental to your engine life if not monitored. I did not know much either in the beginning... and still have a lot to learn. Thanks to forums like Camaro5 I have gained tones of knowledge.
beautifull!! how much would that Camaro cost today? in Portugal, i´ve found it for 45.000€...
here in the US with the modifications I have done, the condition and the low mileage I would hope to get about $30,000. That is not guaranteed though. A lot of times it comes down to what the buyer is willing to pay when a car has been modified like mine. Sorry I cannot give you more insight than that.
thanks for the insight!!it´s excellent!! i´ll keep on dreaming with this Camaro, that i can´t evem afford to think about bauying, considering the gas price today(1.50€), circulation tax (more than 250€ every year)....who knows one day......
I like the build you did. I was curious about the Sparks Restorations emblems you got. I checked their site but only see yellow/polished and not the yellow/satin or black like yours. Did you paint the edges of those emblems or did you order them like that from sparks?
thank you for the compliment. as for the matte-black, I paid $15 extra per emblem. You might want to call them to find out. I called them directly. I had someone else inquire about the same thing and they told me that Sparks would not do them matte anymore.
I shot them a call and they will do the matte black/yellow but instead of $15 per emblem....it's $50 per emblem now
+Chris Harlin wow... That's a lot. Not that they are cheap to begin with. I will say this it truly does make the car look awesome and very unique to anything else you will see on the road. I guess you could always try doing the mat look yourself. You would have to create some type of template though. are you on Camaro 5?
Yeah it is. He explained that they used to paint all the emblems themselves at the beginning but now they have a company that paints them 100 emblems at a time which is why it's more expensive. I will just order them one emblem at a time. I will be on Camaro 5 later today since I keep getting led back to that site when looking for build ideas.

You still making progress? It’s been a couple yrs
Trill T0ny - Yes, a few things here and there. I boosted it by changing my front pulley from the 3.8 to the 3.6. At the same time I upgraded to the ZL1 fuel pump and ADM fuel control module. This summer, after blowing the stock clutch, I installed the McLeod RXT clutch and fly wheel. I also picked up the OD Cog drive for more boost since I am bored with the power. It will be going on as soon as I get bigger injector. Also, Mickey Thompson DR's. I've kind of pushed it to the side over the past couple of years because I bought a cottage. Now I'm maintaining a boat, jet skis, sleds, quads, and my kids dirt bikes. Wish I had more time.

How much have u put in to this?
415bigk I'm not exactly sure. I knew it one time, but I don't remember the exact amount. Considering I did all the work myself except the tuning I would have to believe somewhere in the area of 12 to $14,000. There are a few things that are not in the video that I have done since. I've upgraded the fuel system and probably a couple other things I can think of at the moment. If I would have paid someone to do all of it, it definitely would have been much higher. I just don't like anyone working on my vehicle except me. All and all it seems like a lot of money, but considering I got the vehicle for around $35,000 with my GM discount and putting the money I did into the mods, I now have a 700+ horsepower car for around $50,000. Next to a Hellcat, you're not going to get that type of power level for close to that price.
Wiper delete? IDK man, you never know when a storm could pop up. I always prepare for worst case scenario..... But I am in Florida so.... Happens often here
Well, it was short lived. I put them back on a couple years ago. I will say this, it did make the car look better and a lot more sleeker. You don't really pay attention to something like that because you're so used to seeing wipers on every car. and yes, probably good to be prepared for a worst-case scenario even if you don't plan on driving it in the rain.
@@newagemuscle2010ss i didn't check to see how old the video was. I just got a used 2010 ss m6 about a week ago. It's got just over 90000 miles on it. Seems to be in good shape. Your car is great! You gave me a lot of good ideas. I do feel like the weak point of the car is the tranny/clutch, driveshaft/rear end. Skip shift delete will be my first mod.
@@brandonarnold8681 congrats on your new ride. Yes there are some weak points when you start to push the car. I blew my clutch last year and had to put in a McLeod twin disc to handle the power. The video is definitely a few years old, but it is still one of my true Passions. I've done several other things to it since. I have a lot more I would like to do, but it all comes down to money. For me I have three kids, so they're expensive to begin with.
@@newagemuscle2010ss thanks I'm really excited. I had an lt1 f body and I'm really enjoying the nicer interior, ride quality, and power. I will admit I was tempted to get a mustang.... I've heard plenty of newer 5.0's and they sound good with exhaust. But my family has always been GM... I'd feel I punched my Dad in the stomach if I brought home a Ford.
@@brandonarnold8681 I had an LT1 as well back in the day. It was a trans am WS6. 1997 to be exact. As for mustang, guilty. I have owned four of them. I'm not totally brand-loyal, I really do like the mustangs, challengers and chargers. I typically stick to GM because my family has always been GM and I am also a GM employee, so they kind of frown upon us buying other competitor vehicles.
Looks real good, but maybe you would have saved some $$ if you got a ZL1???
you're probably right. However, mine is a 2010 purchased in 2009. There was no ZL1 at the time. actually, when I add up everything I have into the car and considering I did all the work myself I am probably still $10,000 under what a zl1 would have cost new.
True, it's a job well done though man! I like your style.
