Seeing as this car was originally red, and that he used silver spray paint to paint it, the new finish should easily outlast the factory gm crapola paint. I have seen soooo many of these "beauties" in inferno red peeling it is not even funny anymore. Plus you have about 7 different materials the exterior body panels are made of, so the paint ages differently on all of them, making the car look even worse (is that possible?)

Sorry if I offend any GM fanboys, but honestly, these camaros were piles of crap, and only bearable with the ls1 motor. LT1 with the distributor cap under the water pump, now that is marketing genius at its best. "Lets hide the high wear pelectrical arts behind something that WILL leak coolant... That way we can sell 2 parts when one craps out." Only bested by the "tuned port" turd motor from the 86 vette, which could be handily outrun by a dodge pickup with a 318. When a small block dodge pickup outrunns you it is time to part your gov't motors ride...

Plus these things are ugly stock, looks like a door stop with extra plastic parts. Makes the 80-90s gen whatever squeaky box 'maro look good. Or the potent 305 fireturd trashcan, that car was a looker compared to the later f body. Now that I have fully offended all of the nightrider fans (don't hassel the hoff) I will step down from my soapbox and await the always orignal "ford sucks, and "found on road dead" comments...

Oh yeah, if this car was in the street by my house I would do the right thing and light it on fire.

Love the GM flame! I've owned Chevy, Dodge, and Ford...I'll stick with my Fords.

The 90 deg v6 they conjoured up back in the day by lopping off the last pair of cylinders of a 350?

I do not have much experience with v6 motors, seemed like a waste of time to me. But if you are having good success then good for you! Just a bailout away from true nirvana!!!

Not saying that fords are perfect, and I am not a mustake fan by any means. I have owned and worked on alot of stuff and ford just gets it right more than the others. Eyeball the paint on the bottom of a chevy truck and then look at a ford truck. You will see why the fords last longer. Ford just make a better truck. But gm have the vette, so we are even... wait a minute, no.

Nope, that's the Series I. That one sucked. They ran rough when they were brand new...

The Series II has a purpose-built 60 deg. engine block. Much smoother. Even my NA engine has great torque. My friends look at me funny when I tell them my Granny car ('95 Bonneville) has bigger cylinders than a 5.0 Mustang (albeit only 6 of them...).

Gotcha, 60deg is required to get a v6 to run smoothly. Or if you happen to be volkswagen then you make it very narrow angle and place it in a crap car and people will flock to it cause they think hitler had something to do with it so it must be good...

The 4.3L V6 was the chopped down 350 and was in the S10 pickups iirc. Maybe the 3.8L was from a 305?
