Rob Gabel
2001 Camaro SS

I purchased this car in late April of 2009 with a lid, LM1 and all the basic suspension add-on's. Less than 4 weeks later I cracked the SPEC pressure plate in half on a spirited run down the parkway. 2 months later I cracked the carrier in half. I replaced these in the street with an LS7 clutch kit and 373's with a locker. I swapped the stock wheels for c5 z06's since...you know...the wheels were off the ground anyway. Much in the style of my last car, I'm stock piling about half of my room with parts I haven't had time to install yet like a BBK 80mm TB, OBX Headers and ORY, 160* tstat, salad shooters as drag wheels, magnaflow catback and a whole slew of other parts. Despite my lack of time to work on the car and that I broke it twice in the 4 months I've owned it, I still love the car and smile every time I start it
