B. The green Z28 who seemingly has to rev his engine at everyone on main and portage and got trolled by a red civic si. I was in my 2013 cruze behind you all the way from regeant pretty much. Please calm your **** nice car. :p

I can usually be found on the strip Sunday nights....my car will only be on the road for a few more weeks until the engine and tranny get pulled...everything works too well in current form to throw boost at. Know anybody in the market for a 400+rwhp LS1 and T56?

I usually go to Tavern on Regeant but I have only driven my car twice this year because the roads are so bad. Every time I go only one other 4th gen shows up I went in my Cruze this sunday and there were 4 red Trans ams and quiet a few Z's. Most of the time I am wearing a disturbed asylum t shirt or a 1969 GTO shirt haha they are my cruise night shirts. Though I am socially awkward so if you approach me expect weirdness.

I live in the southwest so usually swing by the Pony. I much prefer cruising...If I do go to a show it is with my ole man in this...maybe check out the Tavern this Sunday. Last Sunday I really enjoyed the unofficial police cruiser escort I recieved from Portage back to Whyteridge...it was special...and I usually drive quite responsibly but I could not get my cutout closed fast enough lol. They pulled up beside me at McGillvary and Kenaston, gave me a head nod and took off north on Kenaston again.

I have been extra sketchy about going out considering my rear tires are bald haha. I'll see what I am up to sunday I may come out. Yeah I love driving around with the cut out open but **** bricks when I see a cop lol.

C'mon...bald tires are great...they make you feel like you have at least an extra 100rwhp on tap haha...my 315's are super bald from writing "77's" on Brady. My 4 year old reported to his mother that the camaro was on fire because we filled it up with smoke; I am not allowed to buy tires this year because of my irresponsibility.

I may work with a guy who wants my entire drive train for a GTO Judge restoration. Problem he is one hell of a haggler.

Any chance you would split the motor from the trans? I would be interested in your t56 and related swap items.

Any details on the motor? My friends Camaro died a few weeks ago and he was thinking of dropping in a 6.0 iron block.
