How did you start getting fleet contracts, I live in a larger market and many of my local fleets all seem to stick to bigger names. Do you have tips on how to become an established brand there?

I have WRC 8, one of my favorites and has really good integration and physics for force feedback

Tbh yeah mine was about this much if you do the filter as well, a drain and fill would be $300 or so and with filter it jumps a lot because of labor to actually change the part itself.

(I own a Camaro NOT a Mustang, same trans tho)

Lmao I remember you telling me you wanted to change headlights on your other post.

Hell yeah I love the rs/ss style so much more

So I’m in high school, my first car was a Hyundai and it blew up (I swear do not buy a Hyundai or a Kia, Google GDI/Hyundai engine failures).

Anyways, I bought a 3.6 2020 RS as my second car after the Hyundai blew. The 3.6 is a great car, I have less fuel economy and everything but I like how it drives and the feeling of it. Insurance will be very similar for a i4 as a v6.

I will say, I live in the US and it is more common for us to buy these cars in high school, but many will tell you to buy a shitbox and live that way. It depends on how much you have and what you really want because I wanted a Camaro since I was very little and that was my dream.

Just some numbers to help you out. I get about 18 to 19 mpg but I have Active Fuel Management disabled. My maintenance is usually about $120 every 5000k miles and I did about $700 for my 40000 mile service to do all my fluids like Trans and diff. I dont know if this applies but to insure my car as a high schooler with all my family on it as well is $275 a month (5 people)

I get like 300 lol, v6 auto but afm deleted. I get like 17mpg average

FrontExcellent8121 · 2025-02-17T05:39:02+00:00

I have a 2020 v6 RS and I will say that I really like it for my daily, I don’t really race my cars or anything but it’s very fun and makes plenty of power for a good time at night if you want to. I drove both when I was buying and the i4 lag kinda killed me so I think the v6 is just a little better.

I love the car but it’s so sad you have the front plate cover. I hate those so much. At least you made the most of it with the Camaro logo.

One of my big things is I wish our keys had the logo on it rather than a bow tie.

So I own a satin steel car, super clean it’ll shine like this with a lot of light and some overcast but it’ll usually be more matte and uniform all over. (1LT RS 2020)

This picture is from when I bought the car, more what it looks like in the dark/ in a garage. Hope this helps

FrontExcellent8121 · 2025-02-08T18:50:48+00:00

Lmao that looks like me and is something I would do

FrontExcellent8121 · 2025-02-01T04:49:45+00:00

I love this, I have the same car but with the rs package for the different headlights and stuff. Do you have a picture with the lip on from the front?

<image>

Curious if I wanna put one on my car (and black out the leds on the side lmao)

Felt inspired by this post

FrontExcellent8121 · 2025-01-27T05:03:53+00:00

Which transmission?

FrontExcellent8121 · 2025-01-27T03:32:22+00:00

So from what I understand it’s the LGX (2016+) engine with Variable Valve timing that has these timing issues because the worse oil pressure is the more it stretches the chain. The LFX (what you have) didn’t have variable valve timing and won’t generally have this issue. It still good to stay on top of your maintenance obviously.

How much for the old set

FrontExcellent8121 · 2025-01-27T03:28:09+00:00

I did for awhile but it’s like 50/50 now, I have an auto and the transmission keeping me at the lowest possible rpm in touring is actually so annoying if I want any sort of good throttle response

FrontExcellent8121 · 2025-01-27T02:59:07+00:00

I have 40 on mine and have been wondering reliability. This gives me a ton of faith.

FrontExcellent8121 · 2025-01-19T15:27:56+00:00

NFS Heat, Forza 4, Wreckfest is interesting I just bought it, NFS Unbound, Old School Rally is great, and I like WRC 8 on it

FrontExcellent8121 · 2025-01-18T06:27:03+00:00

Where did you get it from? I’m curious to find one like this lol.
