Default Anyone know anything about this car?

Anyone have any other pics or maybe know who this belongs to? I'm thinking about having my car painted like this, but with the colors switched ( main part would be white and the hood/top/decklid blue)

Any opinions?

I believe that this was the prototype for the BF Goodrich cars that SLP built. The production version was all silver. I've seen this car at the last four Trans Am Nationals. It always parks with the Pontiac display vehicles....

I was parked right next to it at the 2003 Trans Am Nationals.

great, thanks for the info. I may be getting a set of those OZ racing rims (they were on my '94 when i sold it....trying to get them back) I think it would be kind of cool to make it an "Inverse" BFG car

I agree, but I think it would look better with about a 1-2" space in between stripes.

you mean like leaving a space right down the center so it makes 2 stripes?

true but it does look different with the one fatty stripe... I wanted to do a single fatty stripe but not as fat. two pretty wide stripes would look good as well
