Sounds like a sweet deal. I'm from the Peoria Area, but travel to many of the car shows and cruisins throughout the state. Well come to the board.

It is actually a 2001 Prowler Orange Metalic. Now I need JUICE! LOL Very good observation there! But I am hoping to get into the low 11's to high 10's without the aid of the "JUICE". If not I hear that the t-rex is a nitrous friendly camshaft!

Thanks to all for the welcome. I am sure you will all get tired of my "newbie" questions and mistakes. But I promise you all that I will promote this site as often as I can! From what I have seen in my limited time here, there is a wealth of knowledge and character here.

Great steal on that car. I love that color. Was looking at a Sunset Orange SS before I bought my Z28. That Prowler Orange is awesome. I'd love for my car to be that color. Can't wait to see the finished pics. Oh, and paint the F.A.S.T. the same color as the car if you have any paint left over. It'll look badass.

Now I want my car the same color.

http://s28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...=camaro022.flv

the car is running ok, needs tuned however the idle is a little rough...the sound quality isn't very good due to it being takin on a digital camera, not a video camera. what ya'll think?
