G4 is the first car I've had where I wasn't constantly wanting to mod it. I've had some nice pieces, but this is the best all around car I've ever had.
My racing days are over... kinda... But don't get it twisted, this car can GO !! The performance modifications so far include... BBK Cold air intake, Mid-America power coupler, and Flowmaster 50 Series Delta flow mufflers. SPiN Racer and I did the air mods. The guys and 58th and Central Automotive did a masterful job on the muffler install, and at a GREAT price. G4 sounds terrific. I'd say if G3's exhaust sounded like Stevie Nicks, then G4's sounds like Joan Jett. Then I had The Pit Crew change out the stock Mobil 1 stuff out for some Castrol Edge 5-30 oil with a K&N filter. |

G5... The Grey Ghost is here !!
February 2011 I hit my mid-life crisis. The thought of having a Camaro SS was driving me crazy. But the Vette just a badder ride. So can I have a hot rod and a toy ? I thought about it... While I'm not paying any child support, alimony, student loan, child's tuition or anything else that would financially hinder my happiness, I might want to make a move and get one of those toys as a daily driver. Let's face it; triple black Z51 verts are kinda few and far between. So welcome G5; "The Grey Ghost". 2010 Chevrolet Camaro 1SS / RS in cyber grey with black interior. Thanks to James at Maher Chevrolet for making that happen. I took it to SPiNRacer so we could both shake it down. Right now he's gone faster than me in it and probably has hit 0.3 Gs more too. But G5 got his respect. That is saying a lot considering the cars he is used to driving and working on. She's a big girl (over 3,800 lbs.) but she will do whatever you want. And the L99 is most definitely the sister of LS3. I'm digin' tha 'Maro ! And yes... Camaro5Crue is here. Chevy runs deep ! |
The Borla GMPP exhaust is going on the 'Maro at my guys muffler shop at Central Av and 58th St. Robbie upgraded to the Borla ATAK, so we worked out a mutually beneficial deal. I would suggest that exhaust be the first mod, a cold air intake be he second, and a street tune be the third for someone only wanting mild modification. I still maintain that I'm not modifying my daily driver. I am only replacing a part that I viewed as defficient with another GM part

An innovative look.
The ZR-1 reproduction rims look SICK on a triple black 'vert. I had never seen a black ZR-1, so I had to work out how it might look in my head. Although a lot more subtle, G3 turns the same amount of heads as her predecessor did. |

The chrome package works well on the classy convertible.
I first saw this version of the chrome package on my friend Shannon's black C6 coupe. I was kind of mixed on it. I like the way it works out with the elegance and the roof line of the convertible much better. It's almost like the "carriage" top on the Cadillacs.

The man himself, Joe Vacca puts the finishing touches on The Ghost.
I wish I could have seen the look on his face when Kelly showed him the July 2010 Chevy High Performance Magazine with G3 on page 71. G3 was his masterpiece. On the G4 project, however, he pulled of flames on a vert in a way that EVERYONE though was a great job. I figured if anybody could, it was him. I'm retired from the scene, however things "happen" from time to time. I always want them to know it was me. There is one Ghost, it just takes different forms. |
