Fell in love with my SS again...

So, just wanted to make a post about how modding your car can make you fall completely in love with it all over again.

I just added a Turbo XS Catless DP, and my car just sounds mean... Definitely feel the power increase and its addicting! I enjoy cruising around in 2nd/3rd at around 3k RPM just to hear my exhaust..

When I wash and wax my baby and she just shines...
New blacked out headlights just changed the whole front end of the car as well, when I look at it I remember why I wanted to buy this car!

Yes it does have a few minor problems, that are easily fixable under warranty... but not enough to make me hate this car.

I am just in the process of data logging my car and going to a full trifecta tune, and putting money aside for the ZZP IC/CP package and K&N SRI...


Anyways point of this post, what have you done lately to your car to make you just absolutely fall in love with it again?

Biggest thing thats enjoy, is NOT installing a ton of parts at once. If you have intake/exhaust/dp/manifold. Install them one by one to appreciate the difference made!

ive been kinda lucky, everytime a stock part breaks i've been able to upgrade to aftermarket or performance parts. not much left on the car thats stock. alot of broken parts tho. the new parts keep me from hateing the car when it breaks.

Just Curious but will they really deny your warranty when the Dp has nothing to do with the brakes? It would suck to have to take all my parts off if something were to happen to mine.

no they wont deny it . they can only deny warranty if the aftermarket part can effect the stock part.
