That nose is just too blunt for me, but I really dig the fenders. Now I have to wonder what the particulars are around that engine...... 6.3L....500hp......hmmmmm

Car looks much better from that angle. Lss severe (in the nose that is). I'm really really liking the fender flares the more I look at it.

I have driven this car, and it is very cool. It is 575+hp, and from 3000rpm up, it is a animal. It has more power than the 7.0 liter LS1 in my S-10.

IMO, in person it really looks good. The flares blend into the body lines very well, and the whole package togeather really works. It will be on display at Athens Coney Island on Saturday, so if you make it to Woodward, check it out.

I hate to say it but I'd trade a WS6 for that thing straight up!

Silver, black accents, 6-speed, black leather.

It needs some type of removable roof tho, I vow to never own another F-body without them and if this is replacing my T/A i better be able to get the wind through my damn hair!

I also read that the 07 GTO could get the LS7.
