Yeah the SLP CME's sound pretty well, especially compared to the stock ones. Do they offer those on the new catfish? And good thing you didn't get that quad pipe CME

(but the stock pipes still sound like a tractor)

They don't offer the Quad pipes on the camaro's, that's for the vettes.. Well, not that I see anyways.. I seen the dual duals, for the camaro's, and I don't like them.. I love CME, that's why it took me awhile to find the right camaro.. lol

Gotta love Nascar

I'm not a huge Nascar fan, but I will say one thing about it: It is super competitive. Plus how can you not like a motorsport that was born out of criminal moonshine runners

Yeah the dual duals, SLP used to offer those on the catfish and it just didn't look right at all!

My Trailblazer SS I thought sounded horrible until I modded it. Unfortunately, it took a very aggressive cam profile(very lumpy cam), Kooks equal length long tube headers, Corsa straight flow exhaust, ported and polished heads, performance valves, upgraded ignition, bumped compression ratio, and a custom performance tune to get it to sound how I wanted it. Only problem is that it got too damn loud. I kinda miss my old SS, but I don't miss the single digit fuel economy.

Have you done cams yet? If not, you are in for a treat, although you must do a set of long tube headers at the same time. Cams don't work too well if you are still running the manifolds.

I just hear that SUV's are becoming extremely popular in Europe among the wealthy. Apparantly it is partially due to the American pop culture influence over there. It is too bad that the Mustang has to be imported over there, but you guys seriously get almost all of the cool Fords. You guys get all of the neat performance Focus' that we don't get here. You guys also get the neat diesel engines that Ford doesn't offer here, partially because diesel emissions regulations are just frickin nuts here.

Amd,

No cams, I won't be doing cams or any other mods.. Well, I'm going to do a suspension mod next year, after the weather breaks.. The car will stay stock engine wise. I have the windows tinted, and have Titanuim inserts for the back where it says CAMARO.. The car only has 22,000 miles on it.. If I go mod it, it will lose it's value.( I'm waiting for the new Z28's to come out, so I may trade it, or just keep it.. ). It also has the sought after blackwing airbox lid..

The Queen drove the car more then I did this year.. lol

Dude.............

Do yourself a favor and do a set of aggressive cams, heads, valves, and long tube headers. That combination will gain you at a minimum another 100hp!!!

The LS1/LS2 engines had so much unlocked potential. It is harder to do this stuff with the latest GM smallblock v8's because they now use stuff like variable camshaft timing(I have no idea how it works in an OHV engine).

HAHAHAHA, Yes, I'm well aware how the LS1 engines perform with mods.. lol..

I'm good with 345 for right now.. I'm waiting for the Z-28 which should have over 550hp when it comes out.. I don't want to ruin the car by modding the engine, I will never get my money back out of it.. I don't drive the car enough now as it is to fully enjoy those mods..

I'm not a street racer either, nor do I plan on going to a track. lol

You pretty much never get your money back out of a car... Just saying.

So I found out right now that three laps of the Nurburgring while drunk is an excruciating ordeal

I totally should have raced you then!!

Has anyone else unlocked the free car for going 2000 Kilometers yet? I ended up with a Nissan 360 Xanavi Race Car...

I'm kind of wondering if the unlocks are random at all. I say that because when I finished the Professional series last night, I got the Veyron like everyone does, but the color scheme was ugly as ASS. I looks like it should have been owned by Iron Man. And yes, I know I can repaint it, which I will, but damn it was ugly (brown and gold).

So the cars are not random? So we should all be unlocking the same things at this point right?

Does anyone know which regular cars can be retrofitted to become racers??

Which car you unlock depends on what trophy you score to unlock it.
I haven't seen a list of what cars can be retrofitted yet.

Sorry, the license tests give you different cars depending on how you finish.
