Car Plans for 2025
I failed at my goal this year to drive the car more, because it was always raining, and then when we had our crazy drought was busy dealing with the medical issues of the baby.
Hopefully next year I can achieve that goal

Maybe, possibly, if the stars align... Finally install the 243 heads and LS6 cam I've had on a shelf for 6-7 years now.

I got to drive it all of 200 miles in 2024, need to sort out the clutch and crappy email tune I got from a "reputable tuner." In reality should just sell/part it and get a the C5Z I want.

I saw the recent news that Hot Rod magazine's DRAG WEEK 2025 is coming to the NorthEast this year in September, so that would be a long-shot of a goal. Highly unlikely, but I'm thinking about it. The time and money commitment is a big variable, but the experience would be awesome. Tracks are MIR, Numidia, Maple Grove, Cecil, and back to MIR.
Realistic Goals: get rear suspension beefed up and get some quicker 60 foot times, go to the GM nationals event in Carlisle this year, and try to get out to Maple Grove with the car for some 10 second slips.

Prob the same as last year but didn't get to it.
TA
- RMS replacement
- Oil pan gasket
- Replace entire steering system (pump, lines, rack, etc.)
- Maybe do a rear gear change
- Install UMI suspension stuff
C8Z
- Drive the balls off it
- Hard maybe - look into a set of dedicated track wheels/tires
If I find a BRZ/FRS for the right price with a popped engine, consider some LS swap shenanigans but thats a long shot.

Gotta buy drag radials for the new rear wheels I just bought and get to the track more.
Also want to get the white GTA up and running.
And finally get a new project to become a daily driver.

Plan is to drive my fun cars more this year and enjoy them. Clean them up, take them to shows and spend more time behind the wheel.
Still need to decide the ultimate fate of the Camaro. Do I continue to drive it and enjoy it in its current state, try to make it more of a cruiser and tone it down a bit, or just go bonkers and build a crazy high-hp motor for it.
I'd also really like to find someone to help me fix a few things on my Cadillac and help clean up the chrome.

C5 - Nothing, it just lives at ECS now
SQ5 - Do more welding on car with the battery still connected
Find some sort of toy to put put around in, or sell C5 and get a C6 Z

I had a moment of weakness at the end of 2024 and had to do some mods to the Bronco. I got the Ford Performance tune, got a Mishimoto intercooler and charge pipes, got some 37" tires and have some adjustable coilovers waiting to go on. I think the little 2.7 is pushing close to 400 hp now and still pulls down 18-21 mpg which isn't bad for a brick on wheels.
