most cameros will be in junk yards with in 10 years
A limited CR version could have track tuned suspension package, higher output inrtcooler turbo, carbon roof, and racing wing and special badging. There are only 300 S2000CR left in the world to keep it special.

Congrats I did the same thing just different car.
Awesome! What color did you pick up? I went with the CW over the RR (and not waiting 2 more months lol). Was it a scat pack?

I went the same color as you my son has 1996 RHD Hatch in white from Japan so I wanted something to match lol.
The car was 2016 Blacktop v-6 full loaded they gave me more than what I paid for it to get the deal done so I jumped first import for me.

That’s an awesome reason to choose CW! Def some father and son bonding in your future.
You won’t be disappointed with this import, driving a car that’s a 1000 lbs lighter must feel weird at first eh? Lol.

2018 Honda Civic Type R, 2018 Ford Expedition Limited, 1998 Ford Contour aka the beater.
I changed up as well. Definitely downgraded in the power department by a lot but I gained in others. It's ok though, I'll have this R running right in no time. Congrats on your purchase, OP!

your corvette is almost the cost of the house
Haha pretty much. It was $62k OTD and I dropped roughly $25k in mods. Definitely a fun car though.

Just ordered about $4k in parts for the R. Also about to pick up a set of some AG Forged 3 piece wheels to get this project on the right path.

Dang ABM was my first choice! Don’t know what I’d do if I was given the chance to switch colors now tbh.
That’s a sick wrap you had on the corvette! Any reason you traded ships? I don’t feel dumping a few grand into the Camaro only to possibly have the bug to trade it in again. Figured it was time to move on.

Thanks, man! I didn’t want to be like the average Vette owner with a stockish type car so the outcome was the nebula style wrap, crazy wheels and engine mods. I decided to go with the Type R because I miss playing around with 4cylinder motors. Definitely plan to go crazy with it too! Already looking at fueling options since that, the turbo, and IC are major bottlenecks.

Just the basics. Full exhaust (GReddy & AFE), afe charge pipes, Eibach lowering springs, KTuner 2.0 (ordered a spare ECU), Mishimoto Intake, Mishimoto Catch Can, etc. Like I said in the previous post, I’m looking at fueling upgrade options as well as turbo upgrades too. I’m also thinking about buying some AG Forged wheels.
