New Pics of the GTA
Well I took the car out the other day after washing it and giving it a good coat on it. When all was said and done it was starting to get dark but I wanted to take some pics of it anyhow so I did. I think these pics turned out to be the best ones I have of the car now. I have a ton of them but Ill just post my favorite three to stay within the rules.

and here I was thinking to myself, now if that isnt the pot calling the kettle black I dont know what is...
I think your car looks amazing as well, especially with the Boyds on it and the Mecham spoiler out back.
83Firebird420, as for you wishing yours was red, I get the same way when I see a black version of my car or another color I like but then again if I had it my way Id have on in every color but unfortionately with my income and bills its just a little too far fetched for me to have happen right now
and for everyone else thanks for the complaments on it, really makes me feel like Im doing something right with this car having people on here tell me how well they like the car.

thanks for all the complaments guys. I was always a diehard Camaro guy untill I saw this one sitting in a field for sale so I stopped and looked at it and instantly fell in love. I have since then sold my 84 Z28 that some of you might remember and put all that cash plus my income tax into this car to get it where its at today and I love it even more now than when I bought it. Polishdevil you should dip into the Vette funds and get the GTA painted and looking good, Vettes are slow anyhow

Thats still faster than my car though. I just cant seem to get mine to hook at all, Im going to invest in some better tires for it and try again.

I use this wax from where I work its called Diamond Dazzle from CAS products which is what the detail department deals with. I think its decent stuff but it doesnt seem to last very long.
