+1 for hate the color!

But the car will be badass when it's done!! And I'll still be able to know it's you flying by me going the opposite way when I'm stuck in traffic!

Saved me a few $$.. Thanks

A thanks to Dan has to go out. I think his connection helped getting me the car. Took 1month,4 days to come in from the day I ordered it. Was built last tuesday and came to the dealer yesterday. These timelines are unheard of when ordering. Car got here before the paperwork.

Plans, Right now it's getting a cold air and ARH 2" headers/full 3" dual exhaust. In the winter I'll switch the motor to LS3 specs while ditching the DOD/AFM crap. Spring -Kenne bell 2.8L blower,fuel,meth ect. Want to run the 10.5 class next year with a goal of going 9's while being 100% daily driver.

If anything else I think the color sets it apart from other cars, GMHTP for example are doing what 4th Gens were doing 5-6 years ago which was dominating the magazine and some of the colors are already looking "tired" but I must say that Imperial Blue does strike a chord with me.
