New Caprice - Discussion forums

Thanks to everyone for their comments and interest ...
From my Craigslist ad I have a local guy who was on it straight away, and has agreed to purchase for full asking price.
Deal should be going down today or tomorrow ... if he defaults I will let all interested parties know ...

Thanks again ...

Most of the posts on this subject seem to be a bit dated ... exhaust is done, and soon to get my CAI ... Is anyone making a programmer with a "canned" tune yet? Or do I have to look for a local shop to do a custom tune? If so, anyone know a shop in So Cal that can do it? Thanks in advance ...

Sorry for being late to the party on this thread .... But am I correct in my thinking from this post that the Camaro diff is a DIRECT bolt-in replacement? Mounts, driveshaft, axle shafts, electronic connections ... ALL the same? I know you did a bushing upgrade, and from the pics the Camaro diff loo...
