Default Pics. of "The Mutt"

So, I just played around with some of the older pics. I had from a while back. Ofcourse, my positioning of the car wasn't good so the shadows get in the way ... I've been told that many times and hopefully I'll know better next time *doh* ... too cold outside to take better pics. Also, the car sits much lower than this now (new suspension setup).

1.

2.

3.

4.


Mods.
- LS1 swap (forged LQ9, ported/polished/big valve heads, T56/McLeod, LS2 intake, 90mm TB)
- Strano Sway bars with Koni 4/4 setup and Ground control coil-overs (550/175)

EDIT: Just added this with some photoshop'ing (03/08/08)

... comments?

Gotta love that first picture. Very clean ride and badass hood. Love little details like the color matched front plate hole fillers. Some turn signal blackouts would be killer. Nice mods in the sig as well

That's a Harwood 2.5" Cowl Induction hood. It was either this or the same thing with a ram air scoop on the front, but I chose this one 'cos I wanted a more "factory clean" look and also, not everyone likes the ram air look.

Damn I want one. I owned a 94 V6 Polo Green Camaro for 8 years. Always wanted to do some sort of swap with it. Ended up trading in for my TA. I'd definitely buy another and follow you with the LSX swap. Except I'd rock an SS hood. Yours does look sharp though. Nice job!

Wow your car looks really nice. It looks like it is in good shape. Does it have low miles? The only thing I would do differently is instead of painting the bottom of the bumper green, I would have kept it flat black with the red bowtie. Other than that I like what you've done and I'm VEEEERY picky.
