I'm happy with what I did. My car looks stock if you just glance at it, but if you look close, I've got some 315's tucked under there with 11 inch wide ZR-1's. This is opposite of what I've done before, and I am completely happy. On all my other cars, I have made them look/sound fast but they were slow as hell. I love how SS's look from the factory, so I am going to continue that thought and try and keep my car as factory looking as possible, but sound nowhere near it I think the only other appearance modification I will be adding is an SLP SS grille. And that just happens to be one of the options that were offered on SS's that I did not get, so my car is still going to look factory.

Go fast, unless you have some snowflakes then just buy some ZR1's or something better for cheap AND get the ls6 intake and port your own TB.

Good Advice...


Nobody wants to look fast and be slow, unless, as much as I hate to say it, your a ricer. Although, depending on what wheels came stock on your car, you might have to change those first b/c it looks sooo much better.

Rule of thumb!

Performance before apperiance! Unless the car is trashed in someway,.stick to mods. When you've hit you performance limit,.. then play with her looks!

I've come accross a few SSs, WS.6s, Z.28s and a **** load of GT stangs in the past few months. Everytime they wanna go for it at a light and I see the expensive *** crome rims, loud *** **** sound system and bunch of non-functional parts like fords "ram air" hoods,......... I smile like a dumb ***! I feel like my hard earned money was well spent when Im laughing like a mad man while im stare'n at headlights far enough from my tail lights to fit a bus,..and a short bus in between.

P.S. If you decide to go with looks,...just do us all a favor,. DON'T throw on ground effects lights! Your gonna look like a joke!

What?
Ok which is it? A bus, and then a short bus in between, or just a bus length, or a short bus length?
I don't get it, please explain.

I would rather have something thats extremly fast and look stock, Insted of looking like I should be fast and then not. I like the people that think they can take me then I blow their doors off.
