That's a clean *** SS man. Why did it take so long to get it. Work being done, shipping from buyer, moved from overseas? Just curious.

Based on his screen name and the web site address I would have to guess he is in Sweden.

Very nice car bro!

Thanks! Yes as Azrael mentioned and what i did not mention was that i bought the car in California december 11 2007 and the car was shiped over seas to Gothenburg in Sweden, and after that i had to wat for customs and the other shipping company to pick up the car and deliver the car to my home town which is located 1000 miles north of Gothenburg. And if you dont know how far north that is I explain it like this.. I live 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle!

Thanks hllrzrls1! I can drive it aprox 6 months a year if i dont want to drive it during winter.. It seams like a fun car driving in winter as whell but i dont have any rust preventive coating under the car, and if i want to drive it during winter I have to get me some studded tyres.. I was supriced that the ATS works as well as it does.

That's SpecializedStainless(toofast)'s former car.

Good to hear you finally got it home.

Thanks guys!!!
1fastz: Yes thats true! The car use to belong to Steve @ Specialized Stainless!
And the magazine was Camaro Performers july issue 2007
And yes the tyres are Michelin 335 in the rear.. but i noticed that they did notch the lower trailingarms to make them fit.
The car is awesome.. the sad thing is that the paint got damaged during shipping from CA to sweden.

waldershrek: Haha yes we do During summer we have the midnight sun as well!

StrobinSS: Thanks man!

streetassasin: $1400 in shipping from CA to GBG/sweden ,$4000 in taxes and customs, and an other $790 in shipping from GBG to Gällivare (a 1000miles). And an other $600 for registrations... total of $6790 Butt it is still almost the same as a stock one in sweden. And this car was realy worth it so far!!

Thanks dudes!

Looks like a very clean car. I like the center mount exhaust.
