Nice vids. But some constructive criticism if I may

Your car looks damn good, but the stance is kinda funny. Looks like the front is higher than the rear. The wheels, sorry but they need to go. They just bring down the rest of the car. Lastly, I understand that it was overcast, but it looked like the car needed to be polished and waxed well.

Sorry, I'm a neat freak when it comes to my car. I wish it would spread to other aspects of my life too, because I haven't seen the floor of my room in months!

Torchray - engine is 305 TPI..exhaust is muffler delete and the pipes split into two where the muffler used to be, sounds good for no muffler huh? I'll get a pic of those gauges for ya by the end of this weekend. And the firebird design on the sub grills, I painted those with model paint after i drew the bird and made it into a stencil.

A88GTANotchback- exhaust is mentioned above, and the goods are at my site under MODS.

Nasty_Bird_'90 - Sure, i always like opinions. The stance is weird because I just got new tires put on and the springs are still settling from when the car was on the lift. Yeah, I know that the rims suck, they are the base model S/E rims...as soon as I get $2000 for rims and tires, i will be putting them on, but i have a feeling that it will not be soon so i will have to put up with them for now.

And the car being clean....well i am a neat freak and i always like a clean car, but it was overcast and the roads had water all over them from the melting snow. So even if i would have washed and waxed it before i did the video, it would have looked just as bad when i got to the parking lot.

BTW, thanx for all of the compliments!

Here it is today...

You don't need to spend $2000 for wheels/tires! I think the best looking wheels out there are the GTA's!

Hold up! You just purchased new tires and you are out there doin that to them. D@m man, You must not mind spendin money on tires. After I spent 600 bucks on my new set of tires I try my best not to spin them. But sometimes I guess you just cant control yourself.LOL!!!

yeah i was hesitant to do it but i had to cuz i hadnt ever done it yet with my car cuz my other tires were too bald. it doesnt matter when you do it, it's going to do the same to the tires whether they are new or old! plus like you said, i couldnt help myslef.

and the rims and tires i want are $2000 for 5 spoke polished milan 280 (cobra) rims with 255/45/17 tires and spacers. i can't justify spending money on a GTA rim when i dont like them all that much, but they are OK.

Rip some asphalt? The roads were wet!

What's with the wet roads? Can't anybody get a video of a 3rd gen doing donuts without wet roads - THE RIGHT WAY? That 3rd gen F-Body Havoc video was more than enough.

I didn't see anything wrong with the car. It looked fine to me Of course there isn't ANY car that couldn't use improvement.

Well...

1) I couldn't find any place that wasn't wet roads. Why? Cuz it had just stopped raining and the snow was melting.

2) I live 60 miles from home at my dorm and only had a few minutes spare time to shoot it with my parents camera.

3)My car can do it with out wet roads so no worries there

4) Brand spankin new tires, didn't want to burn them up too much the first week that I had them...wet pavement/ashpalt helps.
