check this camaro out,

i love the color of this camaro its probably the first one ive seen in Hugger Orange, look at the engine pic with the coolant bottle on the right with no cap and doesnt look like any fluid at all? and i suppose thats the fuel cell in the back but how? theres no room unless u hack everything up. but otehr than that i love it and i finally get to see some weld wheels bigger than 15s too....overall nice car.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1873806132

Look how cluttered it is, and just looks like wires are run any way, needs to be given some more attn.

I understand with emission stuff it's not easy, but still, the hoses just look thrown on.

its a nice car, engine bay doesnt look right with the yellow but whatever

is air ride any good for a performance car, would it be good for racing, cruizing, soft or hard ride. ive thought about it but i figureide the ride would be to soft and the car would handle like mush.

does anyone here have air ride

NHRA tracks will not allow them, that is if they catch them.

The yellow wiring looms would have to go. Other than that I love it. Very Cool COLOR.

Very nice setup but I would be suprised if anyone pays that much for it. Air suspension is great (Air Ride is a company BTW), but I wouldnt trust it in a racing scenario. Its more for cruzing with a very comfortable ride and adjustability of the ride height with the flip of a switch. The rubber that the AirBags are made out of is as thick as tire rubber. If you think thats strong enough to race a 3200+ pound car on, then I say go for it. But you wouldnt catch me doing that. I dont trust it after seeing some AirBag horror stories in person (on trucks though). That car is a very nice show car.

As to that second car, that's exactly what I want; a $24k price tag and I can't drive the bloody thing

Yeah, I wouldn't buy it either. It wouldn't be very practical. I just posted it here because it's a kind of rare low mileage car. I think just about any low mileage third generation f-body is bad a@@.
