Guess we havent done this in this forum in a while, I've seen some of the stuff in here, but I reckon it would be cool to see what everyone has. List your car, what you've done to it, and why you did it. I'll start...

1997 Camaro Z28 6 speed
Bought it stock back in 2000, was just minor bolt ons forever and a day, made 290ish rwhp and ran low 13's at around 106 in the quarter for several years. I wanted something that was reasonably quick on the street and fun to drive. About a year ago I quit driving it every day and installed a new cam and valvetrain and had it dyno tuned. Ended up making 358/370 and its a bit more fun on the street now. I've lost interest in the dragstrip somewhat in the past year or so, but I did end up taking it back late last spring. Didnt really get a clean pass out of it at all, due to blowing the (street) tires off and slamming into the rev limiter almost every pass in first and second gears, something it never used to do in its previous state. Walked it out of the hole gingerly off idle, rolled onto the throttle, and ran a couple of passes in the 13.0x range at around 112 mph by the end of the day. So yea, almost 70 more rwhp has so far only net me a couple tenths in the quarter. I'll be back at some point (God knows when) with some stickier tires.
However, its a ton more fun around town now, and now that the weather has cooled down, it has a kinda cool tendancy to blow the tires away when I roll onto the throttle at 50 or so mph.

I might add some ported heads in search of another 50 or so rwhp (I'd really like to make 400 rwhp N/A), toss some deeper gears in it, and do some much needed suspension and brake work in the next year or so if I can motivate myself to renew my interest in this stuff...

I don't actually have a car that's worth writing about.

But if I did, i'd probably say that it has an intake and a chip, you know, German stuff.

I have rust holes in my car which will soon be patched with none other than fiberglass, which is lighter and doesn't rust.

My car will pick up a full second in the quarter from this mod alone.
