I BOUGHT A BROKEN 2011 Chevy Camaro RS For ONLY $4,000

[@ElectricBlakeGames]

A word of warning from someone who has done those chains, do not turn the engine backwards at all costs!! If the vvt sprockets are good, the cam will spring backwards ruining them when it hits the stops damaging them internally Make sure all adjustments are made in the forward direction except VERY small ones when lining up the chain!! If you have doubts about the integrity of the sprockets, change them while the motor is apart the first time!!

True. But he's expanding his horizons, facing a new personal challenge & generating new content. At least this car is in the solar system of possibility to make a return to the road at a semi-reasonable cost. This build can potentially help a lot more drivers. If it were me, not being able to save the BMW M6 would tick me off enough to try the rule break again. But yes, these engines seem to be basket cases. Guess we'll see... Stay tuned.

[@rkevin07]

I had one that blew the engine 437 miles over the max mileage allowed on the warranty. I just swapped in an engine Cadillac used in one of their cars that I got at the salvage yard. It was actually a Corvette engine, installed at the factory. That engine/tranny combo now has 187,886 miles on above whatever it had on it when the Caddy was wrecked. A fast reliable car with that change, and twice as fast as the “high horsepower V6 the dealer talked me into. Mileage isn’t enough worse or different from published numbers on the new car winter sticker to make me regret the change.

[@bobstroud9118]

True story from an old man: Back when the first Camaro came out, the Lions club in my hometown of Wadsworth Ohio raffled off a new red RS. I was a pump jockey at a SOHIO station ( gas at 34.9), where the car was parked. Every night at closing ( ten PM) I got to drive the red Camaro into the service bay for the night. Six cylinder, two speed power glide trans! Gas tank lid was the “RS” badge. My name is Robert Stroud, and I really wanted that car. Mostly because of the gas cap! Best job I ever had. Paid my way through Kent State working there and commuting to school. Met my wife of 43 years there. Good Times ! N.E.OH Bob.

nav didn’t come out until 2012 or 2013 and you could get the retro aux gauges on an RS, not just the SS. In fact, you can swap them in easily.

[@inducedapathy1296]

If it uses the same head units that were across the various lines you could get navigation but through Onstar. It would do turn by turn nav on the simple screen. That's with the lower end models too. Fairly certain at least on the Buicks and Cadillacs you could have the fullscreen nav as well prior to 2012. I think I recall looking at a 2010 Enclave with one. Traverse had a DvD navigation around then. I would think the Camaro would have similar setups for the same off the shelf stuff via GM. Hell GM has had remote start since at least the 90's on most vehicles as well as a heads up display. No clue why they don't put it into more models at this point. I don't know maybe the Camaro's were just left with nothing and you're right. Seems unlikely though.
