Just like the title says. The reason I ask that is this is the first thing someone will ask me. Did you put drag radials on it? Or "are those drag radials" I didnt think the Nitto 555R drag radial was really that noticeable, but other people thats never saw my car notice it right away.

But anyways, there are a few things, I know my car isn't str8 out special, but the hood, stripes, rims, smoothed berger panel. I always get these same series of questions followed one by one. Then they ask the infamous, "is it an SS or z28?" I say z28 and they ask if the SS is faster than my car. Then I have to explain that one as well...
what are ppl going to think if GM makes the z28 into production with the ls7? Z28 will be the top dawg and everyone will be confused and then we will have to give all the dumbass's a history lesson on that as well. All this usually takes about 10 or so minutes which usually leads to more

This one caught my eye. I try to explain to my gf how I want a cam and then a guy with the same kind of cam was at a meet with us and she asked why I wanted it bc my car sounds fine. I told her it wasn't about the sound and she said, well I don't like how that car sounds, and that it sounded like something was wrong with it. Try explaining how it is supposed to sound like that and everything else....that usually leads to

I have noticed that I usually get, "I love that exhaust." I've got CME and I got a ton of compliments before now when it looks even better. Even like the older guys at a car show last summer kept saying how they liked it. I've also had people compliment the painted brake calipers or if it is really clean the point of how clean it is for a black car.

This is what I have gotten over the years:
"Is it a V6...?"
"The paint on your hood is flaking off"
"What is that engine tapping noise...?"
"Dirt shows up more on a black car"
"Do the T-tops leak...?"
"Does it break down a lot...?"
"What is a Ram Air...?"
"What is a Trans Am...?"
"That'll get you a speeding ticket"

If my car has just been cleaned, everyone stares at the rims. Otherwise, they just notice the exhaust. I constantly have people asking me to rev it up and do burnouts. I hate to be a let down but **** man that **** eats up my gas and tires haha.
