Post Title: Weekend update
Posted by: Mariach at 5:58 PM 6/14/2009

Heres some weekend shots I snagged on my cell phone.

Finally got around to replacing my dead fog light and dying headlights.
Silverstars all around, haven't made the jump to HID yet. One day.

The Pioneer 8000BT


Shot of the gauges on my way home from work.
I may or may not have been accelerating at a violent rate.

A friend of my dads works for GM and brought around his weekend toy, and le tme take a spin in it.


And finally, my favorite shot of the weekend,

The pathy's future stablemate.

If the silverstar bulbs give you fits, try the Osrams and you can get them from powerbulbs.co.uk.

OMG OMG...100....wait, those are kph..

The Camaro looks nice. Which model is it 1LT, 2LT, 1SS, or 2SS? They are sharp looking, only thing that really kills it is that stupid trunk openning.

thanks for sharing those pics!! The headunit looks great, ive never seen it in another R50 aside from mine.

How do you like the silverstars? id avoid HID's mine blind other drivers, Im going to see if i can re aim them if not im going to utilize the ballasts to install HID's in the fogs and use silverstars up top. I got the fog light mod done so i might do the HID's in the fogs instead.

that maserati is one of the sexiest cars made in a long time. I love the new camaro's too but in all honesty the Challenger would be my choice..although of all the pony cars, the mustang has the most integrity

I love the silverstars, it's my 2nd set now, and they are great! No one has ever complained of them being too bright, but I get alot of compliments on how they look.
The fogs are actually brighter now than the headlights w/ the silverstars.

The camaro was an RS, not 100% sure of the package, but it was the 300hp v-6. Had some nice grunt, but I wasn't impressed with the driving dynamics of it.


And yes, only 100km/h. BUT, one day, on a closed course, in the hands of a profesional racing driver, the pathy may have hit 165km/h...which is around 100 mph. I shall neither confirm nor deny that. I have also learned, it is governed to around 170km/h. It can hit that in 3rd, which is a testament to the torque, and gearing of 3rd.

If it was the 306HP V6 it can either be the 1 or 2 LT, but since that one had the alloy wheels, it was more than likely a 2LT. You can add the RS package to any of the four trims.

Initial impression/thoughts?

For a 300+hp car, I was expecting alot more grunt. The VQ35 has a lot more mid-range punch. I found it only picked up speed quickly in the higher rpm's, but not in a good way. The sound from the exauhst was horrible. It sounded like a high strung lawnmower.
Ride was fairly good, but too softly damped. It was firm but the body never felt composed when making quick transitions.
What impressed me the most about it was the driving postion, and the autobox. It was an electronically controlled 6-speed, with steering wheel mounted shift paddles, and it was lightning fast on the shifts! I remember the first 'tip-tronic' system I used in 2002 in an E-class benz, and my god it was slow. If this is what the industry has come to, I may actually stop wanting for a 3-pedal car!
I think the SS package would really bring out the best in the Camaro though, but I doubt I will be trading in the Pathy for a Chevy anytime soon.
Especially now that Saab belongs to Koenigsegg.
Anyone hear a Saab 9-3 CCX-R in the distance?
