Ok, who has good eyes and can see a problem with this pic? It was a nice little project that me and my dad did today after we noticed.





The BEST picture I have taken in a long time!

I thought of that...

I hate it when someone says" who's got good eyes," because I'll stare at it for a long time before giving up...

And by the way, AWESOME...

looks pretty good.

I think you may need to adjust the levels of the images since they look too bright to me.
Here is one of them that I adjusted the levels on,

looks very nice to me.. the first thing I noticed on the first image was the hatch..

it also looks like you've got mud/rust under the drivers door on one image, but it must be a reflection of something...

what size tires do you have on the rear.. for some reason they appear a bit wider?

Just the stock size 245's. I'd like to go larger when I get my Nittos. Thats just a reflection your seeing under the driver side door. The other pics show that door also without that reflection.

Speaking of digital pictures, as soon as I give the camera back to my sister, the memory card takes a dump for good! Now I really am going to have to steal it to use it!

I'll let my sister know you like her camera.

Only problem I see is that your camera doesn't seem to like to pick up your plate...

Car looks real nice!!!

Maybe yout monitor is dying. Usually when a monitor starts getting old, the image starts to dim.

How does this picture look on your screen,


look at this image, do you see 0, 1, and 2 as seperate squares?

Your pic looks fine. But I cannot tell a difference between 0-1, and bearly between 1-2. This monitor is old, but was top of the line back in the day


I also have problems in dark places when playing CS, can't see any enemys

Probably time for a new montitor. LCD's are getting more affordable and CRT's are getting really cheap for 19" units.
I bought a pair of the Samsung 997DF 19" Flat CRT's for $199 each at Best buy. Not too bad of a deal.

That thing is so clean, you should come down to olean sometimes and go with US to one of the carshows around here. You are only about an hour and a half away! There are very few clean thirdgens around here, and my brother owns both of them.

I love your car...and always enjoy your pics! Very clean and original looking.

I have the Futura Zs on my car as well. 255s on the back with 245s on front. I might go with 255s in the front next time i need tires though. For the price there decent.

I am very pleased with them. I hear they discontinued them though.

As usual your car is awesome! But man, get some new turn signals. It would make a world of a difference IMO.

I didnt know that about the tires, pepboys closed the local store. Should still be some on the shelves, my rears are looking a little worn as of late. All around they have been good tires. The ride is smooth and there quiet. They seem to grip well too.

How many miles are on her? I didnt see anything on your site. I love the SS hood.. but seeing how clean yours looks stock. It makes me want to put the stocker back on. It looks just as good the only thing is the ss is lighter. Wish they made a fiberglass IROC hood.

I got the car with 65,000, and it turned to 70,000 just last week. My tires use to grip awesome! But ever since I did headers and got my dirty injectors clean, i've been having problems with traction. I raced a vette last week, and I literally smoked my tires when I launched
