Mine is the sunset orange one. It's been in the garage for a few months though. I just ride my motorcycle back and forth to work to save money. It's at the AGE shop every now and then though.

Nope, no manta stripes for me. I'm not a fan either.

Mine is the lowered one with black rims. It's retarded loud too so if you see me driving it you'll be able to hear it. My plate is CNTBCOT.

I' stationed at DM and I drive a black WS6. There are a few pretty bad *** f-bodies around the base. I'm getting short here though I'm about to head to Osan then I got stuck with Dyess AFB in Abilene,TX.

Been here at DM for over 2 years. Some badass f-bodies on base. I work at the machine/welding shop on base and have run into a few that put me to shame for sure. Dude in QA just sold a blow h/c 02z28 to a guy that works at the hobby shop...runs 10 flat. baddest one I have seen is an 02 Z thats white with black pin stripes and a fender POW sticker...worked 383 and like a 200 shot, I think he is breaking into the 9s
