Id prolly dump the SS, simply bc you arent gonna use it. The longer it sits the more it will depreciate.

Yea, I wouldn't really put much of it into the V except for the maggie, but I don't think it needs it. It makes great power for a daily, I don't need another project so it's a fine line. A maggie would be awesome, but I don't a headache either. Confused.

you could turbo the V

, I know what you mean about a fine line and not wanting issues. Im sure whatever you do with it will be sweet

If I were in your situation with the kind of vehicles you have i'd buy a nice Silverado for the convince of having a truck you can actually tow/have for whatever you need to haul, parts, stuff for the house etc.

I actually have a 99 Z71, I keep forgetting about that thing, good point.

Ballin...

The Viper could do with some sick interior. I kinda want to throw the money from the TBSS into stocks, but I could use company money. Blah, I dunno. Who wants a TBSS?

Nice Reza!

I'd like to get my wife a V like that one day.

If you have a Z71, then I'd say ditch the TBSS.

Haha, it'd be bad if I was posted up in front of someone else's house. I bought that house from my dad. I appreciate it though man, thanks.

Obviously I've been outta the loop for a while? What happened to the Trans Am, Reza? You sold it? BTW, the hood looked nice on my car! (I miss her!)

Well, got the wheels swapped yesterday. The right rear does rub a little on the sway bar on a hard turn so I'm going to see if perhaps the V6 sway bars are a little narrower so I'm hoping that will help. Here is how it looks now with the wheels, they are Forgeline SP3P's:

The car is filthy, so I purposely parked in the shade. I haven't had a chance to wash it since I got it on Friday.

Man you have been out of the loop! Sold the T/A in November of 09', picked the Viper up in December of the same year, it was on bottle, now it's TT'd and should be done soon. What happened to yours??
