Bad @$$ engine compartment man. Interior is sweet too...Not a HUGE fan of Tan, but hey, can't complain. I'd change the console and steering wheel, but other than that, Very nice job man

not sure how the "Ram Air Pontaic" sticker fits in...but everything looks top notch. Then again - I hate stickers on cars.

Wow man, that looks friggin great! Makes me miss my old black one.

Anyway, dont expect to get many comments here on THIRDGENcamaro.org ...unless your posting a thread called "Look at my bone stock IROC!!!" over and over and over and over and over and over again, almost noone will open it.

Nice car....I haven't seen that steering wheel before. But then I'm more of a Camaro guy myself. Impressive looking engine bay also. By the way, the NOS inside sticker is pretty amusing!

Sweet ride chad89ta! Gotta love a black GTA! IMHO though the steering wheel cover looks a bit like something a cab driver would have. The stickers aren't my kind of thing either, but overall very cool!

Nice car chad, exact same as mine except for interior color. What size NOS kit is it? Have you used it on the 1/4 mile? What did you run?? I have a NX wet system, 75 - 150 shot. Haven't used it yet but I am looking forward to it next summer.

Really like the black color on thirdgens.......

A black leather interior would really set the car apart from others, gotta love the black/black combo.....

Mandatory Question? What's the future have in store for it?

Nice looking GTA, very clean engine bay.
Nitpick:
1. get rid of the Ram Air sticker.

2. That steering wheel covers gotta go looks like a ribbed condom.

3. The braces on the strut tower brace look out of place in red go black.

Very nice car though.

Great looking engine compartment! I would kill to get into the 12s, My car has run a best of 14.25 with a 100% stock L98.

Man makes to put my NOS Cheater kit to use, but I need the TPI plate, as of right now this is all my Cheater kit does.

Hey, even Camaro owners get sick of that too, and sick of being criticised if it's NOT a bone stock 'roc!

Anyway, clean ride, a totally clean package, the juice looks fun, too
