Yes sir. They look alright. It's just there purpose or lack there of is what I don't like. I also can't help but think if gm woulda put the effort towards continuing production of the Camaro instead of making a over weight 2wd truck that can't haul anything they woulda been much better off......we all woulda been better off.

If they were gonna do something like the SSr they woulda been better off using the Holden UTE.

Were you at one of the LSX races last year, I remember seeing one.

I see a black one all the time by me. I'd buy one to play with but they've tended to be pricey.

Yes last year and this year, Make it to the 8th. round but my rear tires were going fast so I had no traction and wasn't going to buy new ones for one race and I really don't care for the new Camaros, I liked the SSR from the first time I seen one, That is why they make so many different one I guess and I am the only one at the strip most the times with a SSR and it is fun to blow the doors off the new Camaros and Vettes, I have had both, I run a Micky Thompson built Super Stocker many years ago and the SSR is just what I wanted

Well we tuned it down for the 11.50 class but even at that it run 11.34 so took some more timing out but the rear tires started spinning, I think the worst run was a 11.57, Couldn't do anything with the tires spinning, If you mean racing the GN to tell the truth I don't remember, The GN is mine to it run 10.30 at 133 I think, It is a street car with 20 pounds of boost

Sweet, what's done to the SSR? I think you were at Indy, I had wanted to stop by and check it out but the one time I walked by there was nobody there.
