Those TTII's look awesome on your car. I'm wanting a chrome set of zr1's on mine, and then I'll probably get some more comments. What is it about people and chrome wheels??

My car did more than just turning a head, it woke some old dude up from down the street. He said I need to get my muffler fixed. I told him my car was meant to sound like that, he didnt understand.

Haha thats gay. Today i was in the drive through behind some black SS with dumps or something. It was pretty loud. When he took off out of the parking lot some guy from like three lanes off started blaring his horn. I guess it was because it was too loud cuz the SS wasnt even going into his lane. ***

when I go by a bus stop all the kids look and watch me go by and when I pick up my brother from his Private school the kids that open the doors for other students all want to open the door to the SS. Driving down the road just really got to give it some gas and then the people look.

Was following a c5 to the highway once on my way to school, we were both in the slow lane. Some car flies past us in the fast lane filled with 2 hot chicks. The one in the passenger seat rolls the window down stick her head out and checks out the vette. She gives the driver a nod then they slowed down and got along side my car and checked it out for a bit Then the chick sticking her head out the window yells to me "MARRY ME!!!" LMAO I had a big *** grin on my face for the rest of the trip Other than that I get the occassional "Nice car" compliment.

*edit* i drive an 02 Trans Am btw

I was at the grocery store the other day and some lady followed me to my car. She gave me the whole "So what year is it...how long have you had it...etc..." speals and then asked me if I would sell it to her.

yes i get alot of them, mostly becuase of the paint http://www.turbov6camaro.com/photo.htm and rims

but now the sound of the open down pipe is kinda loud and i get a lot of poeple asking why i have 3800 badges on a v8.... i then have to explain its not a V8, and even still some people make me pop the hood so they can count the plug wires... ...... and then start asking about the turbo so i ahve to explain how it works and what everylittle thing is for....... lol

but i think we all agree no matter little or how much money is in your those kid hanging out the window to see it and a circle forming when you pull up makes everyday of work worth it

Well today leaving work a man walked over from his work place -about half a block -just to catch me in time to tell me he likes my camaro. And that he had to check out my rims and how cool they looked.

Also that while hes working down the street he can't hear other cars going down the road, but he sure can hear my car coming down the road.

He also said he is a mustang owner, and after seeing my car up close, it really has him seriously thinking of buying a camaro. I thought that was a great compliment.

Add 3 more to the list...

1. About 3 months ago or so I took my car into Midas for something, and the mechanic suggested I stay out of the gas peddal, "Which is hard to do when they sound like that"

2. About the same time, I went to Discount Tire to get a nail removed, and the teen that pulled my car around for me stepped out of the car like he was all cool and said "nice car, man."

3. My co-worker at work asked me "how you get such a nice car, man?"

EDIT: my thread kicks *** haha

I've decided that my 3400 stall is going back in this new car, along with LTs and ORY again, so it should be turning heads before too long.

Anyways, back on track with the thread!
