Dunno... most of our cars are fuel injected. They like to stay away from FI unless its a kit thats pretty easy to install.

off topic, but was watching that show "no opportunity wasted" on the Discovery channel, and they heard a shooting outside of this guy's gym. They didn't show much, but you could tell it was a 3rd gen camaro with 4-5 bullet holes in the LF fender.

Not to hijack your thread.

GM should hire him full time to put a little magic back into the boring company. They are truly making the ugliest cars of the big 3. That Cadi is about the ugliest I've ever seen. Maybe 2nd ugliest....the Azzcrack was worse. I'd love to see what he would draw out to be a 5th gen F-body

they don't exactly stay away from fuel injection, remember the ford explorer they did? that has same induction style as the 5.0 mustangs had. plus I think the '88 chevy pickup was a tbi. so they could do one of our cars no problem. I would really be most interested in what he would come up with for wheels. I looked and none of his current wheel offerings would look good on our cars. the only good looking rwd wheels are 20" +

Trans Am#5 :

ooh, but what about "brand identity" you know,so that every chevy you look at is a chevy. every caddy a caddy, they dont have to look good, aslong as they all look the same.

Mr. Dude- do you think GM is the only company that does "brand indentity" or were you talking about all car companies?

Oh, and as For Chip Foose:hail: He makes car brands and styles I never liked look awesome for :hail: Heck, he probably make a Granada or Gremlin look sweet.

I really like the episodes where he dressed up like a goober and pranks the owners, escpecially the one where he tried to sell the fender of the 'victoms' own car to him.
