Default Since the blue TA is gone...

I sold the Blue TA a few months ago, actually more like 6 months ago and was driving around this car:





It was stock, slow, and a 4x4. I originally bought it to sell but ended up keeping it, it was on ZR1's for awhile so some of you may remember it. I took a few pictures at break today at work, so they aren't great, but this is it now:









A little info on the car: Just got it out of the shop, XP LS6 heads, XP Cam, full bolt-ons, Stage III 4L60E w/SSF3500 & Deep pan, Prokit, BMR suspension, and thats about it. What do you guys think? I really miss the blue car, and wish I would have kept it, but I think this one is an okay replacement.

I like the white one better than your blue one. You did it right with the wheels and suspension. Looks good.

Here is a rear shot, the car isn't done at all, still lots of little details (like sanding and polishing the tail lights and a charcoal CETA), they are 315's on a 12" wheel, can't really see them:

Yeah I know how that goes. Are you still looking for a C5, or are you going to hold on to this one for a while?

I'd like to see a WS6 hood with some blackbird stripes to match that CETA-style rear bumper...

The new wheels look !

Damn Trust, that car is sick. I actually like it better than your NBM T/A. The only thing I think I would add to it to make it just right, is a Firehawk hood, and some stainless letters for the back. Your car is definitely very nice, so don't feel so bad about loosing your other car Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the comments everyone! Stainless inserts is a really good idea, I like that alot! The next few things are:

Gloss charcoal CETA
Pro 4.0 Corsa Tips
Stainless Inserts (idea courtesy phantomzer0)
Perhaps a hood

On a side note, I should have a dyno for the car tomorrow night.

EDIT: _JB_, I'll hold onto this one at least through the summer, I start to work for myself at the end of February, so providing that goes well I may get a Vette toward the end of the year.
