I've seen that on car domain. Personally, I think the thing is *** ugly. But that's just me. And that looks like the ASCD wide body kit.

She has some talent, and the car does have a few merits - but even for a 20 year old car it just looks dated. Actually, were the graphics removed and the hood painted, it'd look worlds better.

The tell-tale hillbilly stance that proudly lifts the rear end up to fit the massive Pep Boys tires aptly announces to the world "I'm a Vermonter!"

I swear I own the only level Camaro in the state.

LOL ...I swear I own the only level Camaro in the state....that is helariouse.

But in all honestly, the car would look bad ***, with a solid paint job, maybe black. And sure I guess with that *** lowered a bit.

"hey, no one else has this, i should do it"
but thats just my opinion.

first lose the capitals...its not nessisary we can tell your angry.

Second...this site is like that u gotta get used to the criticism if ur gonna stay member on here, theres almost always something wrong with ur ride if your on TGO. I agree lots of the comments dont need to be as harsh as they are but its critcism...gotta learn to take some of it.

I personally do not like the look of the car as is, thats cool taht you have plans for it and hope you keep us updated if you do. That car is definently different and unique...

welcome to tgo.

sorry about gettin pissy about the posts....I actually read back through them and I find it almost hillarious that its another "Vermonter" calling me a hilbilly hahahaha...anyway I totally agree that the car is MAJORLY fugly right now but I saw some real potential in it (obviously thats why I bought it) I'm in the process of taking alot of the drag parts out I want to make it more of a road racer not a drag car. The hood is going BYE BYE it doesnt match the body kit at all. Black is going to be the color it should look sharp and slim out the wideness out a bit. (it looks way too fat for my taste right now) The rims & M/T tires are taking a hike too lol. When it finished up in the sping I'll post the new and improved pics of it.....by the way any ideas on lowereing it down would be cool....it has ladder bars and a 12 bolt in it so im not sure how i am going to get it to sit lower I dont really want to have to remove everything and start over there

That's really awesome you've got plans for it. I voted in your poll on there and think you ought to go black with some nice wheels and a drop. Would like killer.

If you want a car for street and canyon carving you won't want a ladder bar setup. Every car that my dad has had or his friends have had that have ladder bars are strictly pro street/drag cars. I don't think it allows the rear suspension to work that great in a turn. So you'd have to start over I'm pretty sure. Do a search for ladder bars and see what you come up with. I don't really know anyone with a 3rd gen with ladder bars. They're nice for strip use i know that much. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I don't think it would be that much of a PITA to revert back to the stock setup. There's loads of aftermarket parts that are alot better than stock.

If you're redoing the car, and you agree that it's fugly right now, then you shouldn't be so pissy.

Just PLEASE pull the hockey pucks out of the rear springs.
