Welcome.

Why the "Road Shark" in your thread title? Thought you were going to own a Camaro.

Also, I love the hood, but are you set against painting it red? I would think it would look killer red with white stripes kind of like the C5R car that only come down over the cowl area.

Not saying its "rice" at all, but black hoods always make me think of the import scene. Just me.

Either way, awesome car.

Thanks guy's,

Well the hood is carbon fiber and looks real good in person, but I plan on painting it soon. I thought about the stripes, but still not sure.... I have another idea that I'm keeping under wraps that will really give the hood more depth. The gill's are real aggressive in person... It's hard to get it in pictures.

As for mod's: Callaway "Honker"Intake, Callaway "Double D" Exhaust and H.I.D. headlight upgrade.

Headers and high flows and Callaway clutch/flywheel, Wilwood rotors/Hawk pads coming soon.....

After my extended warranty expires I'm looking at a MTI street cam and a vortec supercharger

I came up with the "Road Shark" thing as kinda a tribute to the "Mako Shark" because of the gill's on the hood. Even called it a "Land Shark" after SNL skit.
I like stingray too but couldn't think of any catchphrase

You have any pic's of the car?

Thanks,

Tony
