iroc2nv: "ok you have a 1.8L and i have a 5.7L and you think you can beat me? come back when you find the other 3/4 of your motor!!
**THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTION FOR CUBIC INCHES**"

Not exactly the attitude to have. You're in for a surprise someday. 5.7L of older technology in a heavy car vs. 1.8L of the newest technology in a lighter car can sometimes get close.

hey guys, just answering some questions... no i dont live in texas, i wish i did, i wouldnt have to put my car up for the winters, im in upstate NY THe car is lowered, it has the eibach lowering springs on it, im not exactly sure how much, they were on the car when i originally bought it, so they are actually the springs for a v-6 car, i havent seen any problem with them so far, maybe a lil more bounce in the front, but they lift the front great for traction at the drags The color is stock, it was repainted by my dad a couple years ago, but we used the stock color, its one of those rare hard to find, cost you a f****ing ton colors. The actual name is dark green grey mettalic, and the stripes were done by us as well, just plain old gm arctic white, thanks for all the compliments guys

Well it might not be a camaro or firebird, but it is still a chevy. And it might not look great, but for $25 in krylon it's better the the crappy old primer brown.
Anyway you asked for it.

Billsfirebird: Are the rear quarters custom? Is it a kit?
I like the way the vette-ish quarter mixes in with the understated spoiler.
Flashy, but not too flashy.

Here's mine. I get a lot of **** for it, but I wanted something no one else had..... and for my first paintjob, I don't think it looks that bad (I was 17, and was in a full leg cast).
