Hey all, my name is Vince. I recently traded my Camaro SS for my 06 G6 GTP 6 speed, I know what you're thinking, why? I'll tell you.
About two months ago, I bought a bone stock, low mile 97 Camaro SS. I put about 2,000 miles on it and had tons of trouble. I was constantly dumping money into it because of things breaking. At first it was an exhaust leak I couldn't track down for the life of me. Finally fixed that. Next, the clutch it constantly losing pressure, I was having to pump it to get it to engage. I was out making a few 0-100mph pulls/videos one night and broke the throttle cable, fixed that the same day. The next day the T56 decides it wants to get stuck in reverse. So I said screw it and traded it in even on my 06 GTP. In a way I miss the SS, but I absolutely love how quiet/smooth the G6 is.
Anyway, my car is black, 6 speed, sunroof, cloth seats, bone stock, on factory Goodyear ls2's.
What I want to do with the car is as follows:
-window tint(15%)
-full Crab intake.
-WAMS tune
-possibly a resonator delete/muffler change....that's just a maybe though, like I said previously, I kinda like the quiet-ness of it, compared to the flowmasters on the SS.
The only things I don't like about the car is,
-the front end constantly feeling like its going to fall off the front end of the car.
-the torque management killing power, especially if you accidentally over-rev 1st(which is easy to do when the car spins like it does in 1st, which kills power for a few seconds in 2nd.)
-torque steer.
All in all, I really do like the car so far, haven't driven it much as I've been driving my daily to keep miles off the G6, I may have put 200-250 miles on it in a month. Lol
