Well originally I was looking for an SS, but couldn't find one at the time. A friend of mine said he had the SOM he bought from another guy, but he couldn't keep it. When he said the color I just jumped on the opportunity.

Only the SOM is a real WS6, and its a 2002. The black TA is a 2000, and I recently just put the OEM Ram Air hood on and had it painted. I would've gone with the FireHawk hood, but I heard you have to get the front fascia as well because of the gap from the hood to the bumper. I could be wrong though. I'm happy with the way they look. Thanks for the comments guys. I appreciate it. I'll keep ya'll posted as the mods come along with the black TA.

Both of them look awesome! The black one is my favorite.

But straight up, what does SOM stand for? Sun Over Mountains? I know it is the color of the orange one but what does it really mean?

Only thing Id do differently is sell the black one and get an SS. Then you'd have one of each

No way am I gonna sell either of them. I worked to hard to get what I want. Just like everyone else does. I'm buying another car next year, but I don't know what yet. It's a choice between an SS, or a ZO6. I figure since I don't have kids yet I might as well induldge while I can. Still undecided as to what I want yet. Its all good. Once again I appreciate the comments and opinions from everyone.

Killer Combination. To bad the sun wasn't out. Colors would really stand out then, but still pretty sick.

Yeah In know what you mean. It rained for basically the whole summer here in San Antonio. Since its hard for me to get both cars in the same spot I figured to take some pics. Just wish I could've had better background shots.
