Good to heart from an “International” Gen 1. Is it difficult to own a Camaro where it's an import? I’ve heard that between shipping and duties parts can cost three times more for off shore American cars than it does in the States. I admire the dedication it takes to own U.S. autos around the world. Must take a VERY supportive wife.

I agree completely about parking an investment car vs. driving a modified car. It’s hard to describe the enjoyment factor in these cars with even the simple mods I’ve made. Both of my Camaros were manual steering. The green one had about six turns lock to lock. Changing to the 1987 IROC Camaro fast ratio, high effort p/s boxes reduced them to about 2 ½ turns lock to lock. In terms of “feel” that’s the best thing I’ve done to the cars. The steering box may not increase cornering power but the twisties are now easily handled with one hand on the steering wheel.
