Like the black and gold, but you're right the single pipe just looks odd

Yes, 20K is way too much to spend on that car. Offer him 14, and see what he says.

Beautiful car IMO, ..., but I'm biased, ...
You guys don't get out much do ya?!? This car created quite a stir in the Vehicles For Sale forum here, ...

If you don't like the cost, please state it politely, as everyone is enititled to their own opinion. But if you were selling a car, wouldn't you start at a higher number? Because everyone's gonna try to make ya come down in price anyway, ...

Yep, that's the factory GM '98 SS exhaust system with the 3.5" stainless tip that came on my car................... I just don't know what GM was thinking with that exhaust system but I guess they heard the voice of the public as it only lasted one year in production.


As for the car colors it's not my first choice but actually I kind of like it as it reminds me of the Lingenfelter/Hurst Firebirds just in a Camaro version. Props to the owner for doing something different and not ricing out an F-Body.

Maybe not something I'd do to my own car if it were black, but I applaud him for being different and taking a different route to finding style. I think the gold goes well with the black.

Although he is indeed asking too much for it.

I love it. Reminds me of the Anniv Hawk but with much more attitude.

I like it because it's different. I like having something. (I know I have Z06's pretty common these days but not when I got them) I think the only thing that car needs is
BAN ONE on the plate. You Movie buff's will catch that.

I think it kicks ***. I've always loved the gold/black combos, especially the 10th Anniv Firehawk and the Hurst/Lingenfelter Trans Ams.
