Thank you! I will be making more videos of the progress soon. The garage is lacking in a lot of features that I'd have like to have in it. I'll "tough it out" laying on cardboard lol! 👍👍👍
Hello, what do you think of the new Firestone tires? Any issues with tramlining on the highway where the car starts following the grooves in the road and starts feeling light and darty? I have an 02 SS rag top with 35,000 kilometers ( I know... not 4,300 kilometers like yours) but still very low kilometers for the year. GM dealer tells me the alignment is spot on within the manufacturer's specs and the entire front end is tight with no play in the components. Car is not fun when starting to veer into next lane at highway speeds with ruts in the road. So this leaves me with a decision about what brand of tire to try next??
Thank you for your question. I have driven about 1100 kms on the Firestone Indy tires. They have been a very good tire, as they have a softer compound. I suspect they will wear more quickly than another tire might. I haven't noticed much, if any tramlining with these tires. But, to be fair, I really haven't driven the car very much during the last season. In my experience, a softer compound tire wil give more road feel, which could be interpreted as tramlining when used in a daily type driving experience. If you do a lot of that type of driving, it may be a good idea to compare the Firestone tires to other brands that have a different tread design and a higher tread life. In one of my other videos, I compare the Michelin Cup 2 tires that came original equipment on my Mustang Mach 1 to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The 4S tires completely eliminated the tramlining I experienced with the softer, track only Cup 2 tires that came on the car as new. I hope I've been of some help. Selecting tires is often a complex process to ensure you have a satisfactory experience with your particular car. Cheers! 👍
I appreciate your reply and just keep your SS! If you do decide to try and sell again you can never been in a rush to sell a collector or specialty type car. There is always a genuine buyer out there that is serious and is aware of what you have and is fully versed on asking prices for that caliber of car they are looking for in the CURRENT economic marketplace. Unfortunately you usually have to sift through and filter through many insincere prospect buyer's that don't really have an intention to or aren't in the position to complete a sale regardless of the price point. There are dream buyer's on every level for every vehicle out there. LOL There is always that RIGHT qualified buyer that eventually comes along and legitimately wants your car without making all the excuses for not wanting to buy the car providing the price is within reason. Just my 2 cents on buyer's and selling.
@annebrill485 you are correct! I am in no particular rush to sell my car. I did have some negative experiences when I tried to sell my car last year. There is a buyer for my car out there somewhere. I have been contacted by two potential buyers recently. One of them was what I considered a serious buyer from last summer. My car is still on their radar. The other potential buyer also spent a great deal of time discussing the car with me last fall. I feel it'll only be a matter of time before my car finds a new home. That's a pity, because I've actually grown to really enjoy and appreciate my car. Only time will tell if I sell my car. In the meantime, I'll plan to enjoy it this upcoming season. The 4th gen Camaro is truly on of the last of a type of car of which we likely will never see in the future. There is a visceral connection between the car and driver, that in many ways, is missing in newer cars. Enjoy you car every chance you have, they really are incredibly great!
We are a Camaro family with a second gen, a fourth gen and a fifth gen ZL1 Ragtop so I fully understand and we have a connection to all of them. I will admit though that I would have thought that these Catfish 4th gens would be pulling higher values by now so maybe they are just late bloomer classics that will gain in popularity again and increase in value in the future. I will keep an eye on your future content. Cheers!! @@lilredcrvtt
