Thanks, here is a quick list of Mods...
Blacked out, BEHE tuned 484 rwhp & 473 ft/lb torque, Lingenfelter COMP CAM, CAI, Sway bars, rear strut bar, Callaway spark wires,Maggie, LS7 flywheel, High Flow Cats, Resonator, Kooks Headers, Corsa exhaust, UUC ****, UUC shifter, UUC Bushings, UUC MM, GM cross drilled rotors, hawk pads, SS Brakeline,Red calipers,blacked,tinted windows,racing pedals,Spoiler,full size spare,V sign headrest,DVD headrest,boost gauge.
Dont have to many Pics right now. Its an interesting situation. I actually live in the UK currently. So I had to entrust a friends and my Mom to help me make the purchase. I will be returning home to MD this June. So the car will be sitting in storage till I get home. I wont actually get to see it and drive it for another 5 months. Kinda sucks. But I had to move on the car when it came up for sale as there arent that many Maggied V's for sale.

Maggie!
Needs a little cleaning up but nothing major. Might try and get some FRC's to make it look a little nicer to.

Welcome! Where in Maryland are you located? You stated you have a BEHE Tune...GET IT REDONE IMMEDIATELY! Talk to Fran at RPM or another vendor, his tunes are trash and you're lucky it's still running.
He got me for $500, said it dyno'd 487 whp (it didn't). I guarantee you're running 22* advance with that Maggie, that's how he does all of his tunes for some damn reason.
Here you go:

Just saw you are in England...what part? What has you in England? Service?

Yeah plan to give it a good cleaning when I get home. Its been a daily driver so a little grim isn't unreasonable. Over all the car is in great condition for being daily driven for 6 years and having done 80K miles.

Nice looking car. Hopefully I'll see you around when you get back to the states. I usually only go out your way on two wheels though (or one if I am having fun).

Hey Jaybird! Whats up man. Long time no chat. Think you had moved from the WS6 to a truck last we talked. What you rollin' with now? You still living in the Odenton area?
Yeah the SS has been gone several years. I've been(and am still) slumming it in 1.9l turbo diesel here in the UK for close to 4 years now. Cant wait to get back into something nice with some power! Decided to grow up a little and go with the V. Although I did consider a 2010+ SS. Just not worth the extra money to me. Plus with two kids the 4 door is more practical. Well I guess calling something with 500ish hp practical is not really accurate. But probably can get away with saying its more practical than a Camaro?
Well have to meet up this summer.
