I 100% agree with you on that, my last set up:

2004 XC90 and C5Z06

NOW:

2006 XC90 and 2006 C6Z06

I'm pretty happy, two ego's!

I always hate it when you get away with a thrash fest and then the car craters either while cruising, or when you have to be some where about 5 minutes ago lol

My air horns are for my car alarm but my dumbshit installer put it there next to the oil tank. I had them in the left fender of my C5Z, see pic below.


The shifter is the LG with Delrin.

Well it was my was my second day of school today for college. As I pull out of the parking lot I get on it a bit (only to about 4k) on this straight away. Well it was all loud as hell and sounded mean until I turn on the next street and my car starts running like crap. So im thinking what the hell is going on. So I pull over check the coil packs spark plug wires and o2 sensors and see nothing wrong and to make it worse it's 100 degrees.

So I call a buddy and we both agree it's probably bent Push Rod or maybe even a broken Valve Spring. So I get home and start ripping everything apart and yep it was correct broke a valve spring, just my luck on my second day of school. So went to GM and ordered a new one. Im doing a cam swap in the next 2 weeks but I am waiting till I get my Daily Driver for school or else I would do it now but with school and all I need my car back up fast. I would put my after market valve springs in there but I don't have them yet (still shipping). Would have been a perfect time to do it as well.


And btw you C6Z looks badass.......I just jizzed btw!
