This is my 1997 Polo Metallic Green Camaro.I have only done a few mods to her, but plan on making her one of the fastest v6's on the road after I finish college. I got her to a 14.9 @ 93 with just intake and exhaust. Since I have added the gears, lsd, and torque converter my new best is 14.198 @ 97. That was in completely street trim, next time is get to the track I'm gonna tweak some things in hptuners and mess with the tire pressure a bit, and WILL see 13's with a "lowly" v6 with boltons.

Update: made it back to the track, with the help of hptuners and a set of bfg dr's my new best is a 13.986 @ 98.733, cut a 1.8 60 :D.

Update: R.I.P June 16, 2005. Tire blew and tossed me and the car into a tree, totaling the car. :(
