Default New Photos 7-15-07 (56k, Sure?)

Well, I was bored and decided to go out and take some photos of the car. I haven't posted new pictures in 2 months which is a long time for me haha. They were taken in the best location, but I just thought id try it out see how they would look. Overall there not bad I think.

Enjoy, Of course I have all the original sized picture if u want wallpaper.

Nice.

Just curios, and i hope it won't start a bunch of bull ****, but do you care about owning a fast car (not that these can' be fast, 'specially w/FI)? i mean, if someone had a Z28 that looked just like that, would you trade straight up? You have performance mods, and obviously love your car, so why didn't you get a Z or SS? Was it just cost or do you just not care to have an LS1?

Again, nice car! Nice photography, too.

You can say cost was one, that and the car was a gift from my dad. I always have had a love spot for F-Bodys and have always wanted one. Well one day my dad surprised me with this one back in 2005. I could sell this car and save a little for a LS1 just I have no need to right now, Being only 19 and in college I have plenty of time to later get a 5th gen or low mileage LS1 (camaro or t/a) I originally didn't plan on modding the V6 as much but its quite fun to have a pretty peppy little v6. The V6 is paid off so once im done with college id like to keep it and pick a ls1 as said and have 2 of them, when the v6 engine dies make it a race car with a new bigger engine

Love those wheels on that color car. Really nice. Just remove the emblems & put a nice quiet magnaflow with dual chrome tips & nobody has to know for sure what it is.

Very clean bro, looks awsome. Sounds banging too with no false advertising. I hate when people misbadge cars. You have one of the nicest 3.8's I have seen.

Sweet car man. Looks and sounds killer. Keep up with the good work. That nice of a car you don't need a ls1. Just save now and later throw a turbo on it!

what turn signals are those? are they clear or black? Reason I ask is I was wondering what the black ones looked like. I was thinking about getting an ebay set. But I dont want a black lens if the yellow bulb is really noticable.

Thanks

Actually...

I had a 3.8 just like this guy. Silver M5 with a few bolt on's (ran 15.6 @ 89mph). When I got my SS, I got better gas mileage than with the V6. Nothing like shifting at 1,500rpm with a 6 speed.

I still want to build up a 3.8 some day. You guys have to admit. A full bolt on, cammed V6 that runs high 13's is still a pretty nasty daily driver. Shoot a bit o' Nitrous or a small turbo and have a Sick V6.

A stock a4 3.8 (with 3.08s) can do a tad better then 15.6, you sure u typed that right? But yea a full bolt on/cammed v6 can get down in the 13s easy with good tuning.
