This is my favorite video of his car, personally...

It's a shame it's not an IROC or a Z28! Can you imagine how much faster it would be then?

I love the fact that a Sport Coupe won. You don't see a lot of pictures of sport coupes. I love mine though. Your car is amazing.

You should've made that vid before the voting was over. It really showcases the car nicely.

Re: May COTM ** Winner **

thanks kyle! i couldn't have made the video beforehand unfortunately. during the time the voting was happening the car was filthy and i was so busy with finals that i didn't have time to do anything about it. i search high and low for a picture of the car with regular street tires on it since it has slicks on it most of the time. the one i posted was burried deep in my photobucket account and was from like 5 years ago, lol!

Sweet car, man! You earned it! What makes it even better is that it's street legal lol.

My favorite part is the custom "rs" on the front grille. Awesome.
