I would have thought that more of you would think that this car is cool, I like the way the car look's but some time's i think about changing the wheel's to 17''or18'' with some really FaT tire's onit then droping the car 1.5''to2'' then mounting a wing on the tail. But with the horsepower that it is putting out i don't think it's going to hook up the way it does now, it's very quick and fast.
well i want to know what you guy's think about it, is there anything that mite make it look better,does it look cool or ?

Bad82 the car looks awesome! Very nice work. I love the rims. Those are welds aren't they?? If you get some new rims I am interested in those ones on your car. I love those rims. I would personally leave them on, but if you like the big 17"/18" look then go for it. And make sure you get in touch with me about those rims on it.

Thanks. Yeah she's coming along I guess. I need to fish off the body work and get her painted. Also have to drop it down some, the 16" Z rims don't fill out the wells to good. Hopefully with in the next 2 years, it will get a mini tub, and a turbo of some type with some nitrous. I would love to get her into the 10"s at the track. You've got quite the setup yourself...What does she run at the track??

your car is pretty sweet, what is the top speed you have gotten with it, and how do you like the ssm traction bars, and subframe connectors?

Sweet car man. Really dig the wood guage cluster. Really differant idea. With maybe a bit darker stain and the brown interior cleaned up a bit would match quite nicely.

Very nice car man! I agree it would look a little better lowered, in my opinion. What backspacing did you get on the wheels? They look great, are they 15x8 or 15x10?

looks pretty cool, love the stance of it, however i still aint to found of camaros without the ground effects, but thats just me, if you want some groundfx then go for it, if not then hey thats your choice. as far as the wheels go, umm i guess its good for the track but for the streets may i suggest some eagle f1 17's or 18't, also you could go with chrome irocs, or torque thrust 2's
but nonetheless, great car man...... NOW SHOW US THE MOTOR FOR PETES SAKE!!! lol j/k

I love the classic musclecar stance! Just proves that slamming it and putting "blings" on it is probably just a fad. Keep up the great work!
