LSx swap?

Future race car project?

Or just rebuild it as a street cruiser/daily driver?

ya know. i wasnt to sure about the green, and still im not sure what i think of it. but like you said, you just dont see many that are green which kinda makes it stand out a lil more. i would like to put on the ss soiler and do something about the hood. i know either way the hood and front bumper will both be replaced.

LSX swap too boring. Do a 3800 supercharged longblock, Swap in the N/A intake manifold and do a twin turbo.
