lol.. there is only 1 and it was a left over of my 3". it has been a good sign to those as well that the drivetrain was different since the last setup was 4" and no tip at all. working on the other car i slapped this one together with parts i had laying around to get the thing on the road. it's only a 3" flowmaster currently, in time the little things will be taken care of.

Absolutely perfect. I didn't think you could top the way it looked with 18's but you did. Are you willing to release some high res versions?

yeah i sold the lights when i parted them out, i had some on there when i sold the car but the kid who was driving it somehow broke one of them so i took them off until i can get new ones.

if you email me you can have them yes. i'll have some better lights with it more together shortly. been spending too much time on the other one for now.

It's okay. I wouldn't say it's significantly different than the 18's. I actually prefer the 18's. Maybe it would look better if you go to 14" or 15" brake setup.

Man i was really confused myself. Did the kid mess the car up while he had it? Wow i would be so freaked out if someone else had my car. How long was it until you actually bought it back?

That baby is LOOOOWWWWW. Not sure if I dig the 19" size yet, but it's nice.

I thought you were messing with a different car? Something new would be good, cause in all honesty, this car was perfect the way it was.

the only thing original with this car is the body. it has a full custom interior now, the larger wheels and an lsx drivetrain. the 92 won't be finished until autorama.

way to unfortuante about the 92, because I think we have all been waiting to see where you went with this one (I am going crazy just not knowing the paint....you wont leak it!!!)....if you do get a chance though, when it's light, snap some pics of the interior and engine bay (unless you did so already and I missed the thread)....good to see the king of camaros is back in action....one question though, I know a big influence in the ls6 goin in was to make a decent streetable car, but how does it compare to that 388?.....keep it goin jeff

honestly, pretty much on par with power, slightly less torque but about 3 times the gas mileage... well worth it. last summer i use to stop every other day to fill the car up. now i stop maybe once a week. i can't wait to drive the ls2 more in the 92.

I am glad that you have the car back in your hands. It looks great but I think I liked your old wheels better. Any mods to the LS1 or is it stock?

thanks... how do you like the old ones better? most would never know if i didn't tell you the size.



as far as the motor it's an ls6 spec setup. forced induction over the winter, keeping the nitrous just for the intercoolers. nothing fancy but respectable and extremely dependable which is the goal. extreme horsepower hotrodding gets old when it takes 20 hours of weekend work for a 1 hour drive that costs you $20 in gas only to do it all over again the following week. why bother if you can can work a 1/4 that time, spend a 1/3 less and drive for a whole day? thanks for the kind words guys... more pictures to follow when i get a chance.

i know exactly where that's at, i parked there last year. unfortunately i was out of town after thursday for the dreamcruise but i was there everyday for the last week until then. next time your in the same general area let me know, i'm not far. hopefully i'll make it out your way next year for the camaro show, you should have came out to superfest this year in ann arbor but understandable. especially since they have it 4th of july weekend every year... wish that would change. o'well.

yeah i'm a little upset the 4l60e is so much larger then the 700-r4. the lsx combo leaves alot less room in that area for the exhaust to be tunneled. i plan to try and rework it this winter to see if i can get it to tuck higher up to lower the car more but until then the exhuast is causing my limit.

I think it looks awesome. I do like the 19's better. The 18's were amazing and I just love the PH pics and GM HIGH TECH, yet I just think the 19's give it a really cool profile. Take some pics when its not cloudy out if you can. I would love to see some more if you can. Shawn

I just noticed is that your sway bar that is hanging down off your car. Do you have to scrape dead animals off that thing sometimes
