Hey Everybody,

I have some tech and aftermarket questions on my V6 Camaro so I thought I’d join the forums. I am an original owner of a 2001 Chevy Camaro V6. I bought the car new in August 2001. Except for different non-OEM tires, the car has been bone stock since I’ve owned her. I love my car and recently hit the big 100,000 mile mark. Currently my Camaro is close to 103,000 miles. My Camaro is Bright Rallye Red with Ebony cloth interior. I have the automatic 4 speed transmission. Options are T-tops (a must!), 6 way power driver’s seat, ASR (fancy Ferrari name for traction control), Monsoon 8 speaker sound system with CD player, Z28 16” rims and tires.

My younger brother, CamaroBoy, told me about the forum. He has a black 2002 35th Anniversary V6 Camaro (also original owner) with many, many mods. I think he found out about the site from forum member Kristen.

I was laid off in early 2008 and unemployed for a little over a year. Since I had no job, I barely drove the car and put very low miles on her. Now I have a new IT job again and the maintenance bills are adding up (driving the car a lot more than last year). I love my Camaro and look to keep her. The car has been good as my daily drive since 2001. I live in the Philly area. Need anything more, just ask.

Welcome to the site, I'm the original owner of my 96' Camaro going on over 13 years 166,000 miles, takes alot of years to mod everything but it is worth it. My sticker price was 17,800 back then. Was a M5 with power drivers seat only option.

Re: Hello New Member

I paid $1 for my silver 02 as well. So says the title. But it was a gift from my parents. I've been paying it off for awhile now.

Re: Hello New Member

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I should hopefully get some pictures up soon. Maybe this weekend.

Flaming Chicken: Mod or stock has been a big question since I’ve owned her. I think the main reason I left it stock is because I was cheap and didn’t want to drop a lot of money into the car. The other way I looked at it I was saving up for a new car (a second car because I don’t plan on selling my Camaro). With my new job, I’ve been tossing the idea of buying a new Camaro or Corvette. I’ve been checking out Ebay and SLP’s website over the last 8 years I had the car looking at Mods. But the other thing is I don’t know any good (or trust) shops in my area to work on my car. I still have my original sticker. I would have to dig it up. But I got a really good deal at a local dealer.

Hockeyman: My brother has taken is Camaro to the Franklin Mills meet many times. I always thought it was more in the evening than in the morning for that show/meet. I go to the Hooters show almost every time. I live so close to there. The last show they had was really big. My Dad and I were there for close to two hours looking at cars. I saw a bunch of Camaros there. I’ve never heard of the NE Philly meet on Linden. Thanks!
