DFD, your car is ready.
:notsure: who is a fanboi of this abomination. I for one am not.
Originally silver, a purple sprayable vinyl-based wrap and clear coat were applied to the body and hardtop. The original fenders were cut and an Autokonexion wide-body kit added which includes riveted rear GT fenders along with extended bumper corners, a custom deck lid spoiler, front air intakes, and a front lip. The new soft top is not currently installed, though it will accompany the sale.

Per the seller, starting the car requires flipping a hidden kill-switch and turning on the fuel pump prior to twisting the ignition. The check engine light is illuminated for codes P1415 and P1298, which coincide with removal of the air pump and electrical load detector.
I literally cannot survive in Philly swamp land without AC so this is a solid :gtfo:

Philly is an actual swamp. Everything south of Federal St was a swamp and muddy river delta in colonial times. Basically the same as New Orleans in that respect, a city built on a river delta.

I can relate! The car is fantastic, and since I'm totally :gay: and got the DSG mine is pretty quick, maybe not RS fast on open road but 0-60 is all I can take advantage of. I may toon it in my last year of ownershit just to see how it does with an extra 100 hp, and then dump it for 10-20k or whatever it's worth.

Agree, but a. There's no telling how many miles were on that original swapped motor. b. Wouldn't you beat the piss out of that car? I'd be WOT everywhere. c. The new one hasn't blow up...yet.

insertusernamehere;2189307 wrote:Hello All,

I am deciding to sell my 2015 Chevrolet Camaro 1SS 1LE. I ran this car nationally in FS this last year and won a few national events, podiumed at the rest and finished 8th at Nationals, so it's a very competitive FS car. That being said, I am moving on to a better FS car and so I am selling this one. Here are the basics:

Location: Columbus, OH
Title: Clean
Mileage: 24,2XX
Color: Red Rock (only 109/2737 in this color)
Options: 1SS, NPP Exhaust, Recaros, Backup camera and sensors (this option combination is very rare and close to the lightest spec you can get as these cars are hard to find without a sunroof and with Recaro seats.)
Modifications: None
Recent Maintenance: Engine oil approximately 6k miles ago (indicated ~40% life left), Differential and Transmission oil changed 12k miles ago.

The car is in great shape cosmetically save for a scratch in driver side of the rear bumper; I recently bought a house and the garage was tighter than I thought and i ended up rubbing on a shelf on the side of it. Picture of the damage shown in the album linked below.

Interior is also in great shape, seat bolsters are still intact. Microfiber wheel and shifter in good shape, not matted.

Pictures located here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/eF8isiUhv1TbXu3V8

Asking $28k here on tSB. I can also include FS legal 19 inch wheels with 305 square RE71Rs (with about 50 runs on them) for an extra $1k. If interested please PM me here or text me at 303-875-4three73

Thank you!

Camero is so big and hard to see out of that a national caliber driver still hit the rear trying to get in/out of his garage... "you get used to it" my ass.
