Putting cheap looking 22s on a street car built for speed is a bad decision.

So random circles are now controlled more so then a straight line on the street? "Blocked off" didn't stop you from almost curbing your car.

The RWD/LS6 conversion is cool. The shoddy 22s and burning out on virtually paper thin tires...not so much.

And speaking of safety... did you notice the gentleman who walked out there 3/4 ways thru the video? He alerted me that my tires were done!! See we look out for one another! Yea they are 22's, Alloys! I made a few Bad decisions in my day but that day was one I'll never change for the fact that My fab company got the chance to introduce the Car we worked on.
Its called " Stand up and Be Noticed". Thanks for your support! Its comments like this that inspire me to do more, but makes things too political!! No1 says **** when the guys on Muscle Car do burnouts..... And please dont feed me that garbage about them using a controlled enviroment..... This aint something I do every day, O yea, I drive that thing to work every day now, til the winter hits. 'nuff said!
Once again, Thank you for your support.

Ahh the haters just keep dropping their opinions.... Mr. fatbum, you're like Dr. Evils' mini me from the Austin Powers movies. You don't know what the **** you're talking about either! Your comments rank right up there with the 1st *******.
"A street car built for speed". Who gave you the privilege of classifying my car? No they are not that cheap, They are Paladin Luxory Alloys, $304 a wheel!! as a matter of fact, I have two of them at the machine shop getting widened to 11 inches! I looked your wheels up & they are $1140 a set, 10 & 8 inch....Paladin Black Knights, 22x8.5 are $304 x 4=$1216, a measly $76 dollar difference. I selected those wheels because Monte Carlos wear a Knights Shield as their emblem. And if I had Asantis, I would do it all over again!!
Many people on the net wishes that you ***-clowns would stop hating on other peoples cars and videos.
O yea, that's a nice G.T.O you have, nice list of mods.

Sorry I pulled my build pics. a few weeks ago. The rearend is from a 1996 Corvette. I see it in my near future to build one with a straight axle. Ide love to use a Grand National rear. I have been building different cars and trucks using the 'Vette rear before, so I kinda like their ride and simplicity. They actually behave pretty good with a heavier car on them than the origanal Corvette.
The pics. were on MonteCarlo Forum.com. I had considered putting a few back up, and here. Thank you for the look.

Someday, maybe I was a little harsh. I just dont want or need anyone under the impression that my car is an accident reject! Last week a rumor was out that I had an Ls7, LOL. When you declare someones car as cheap, and its a 9 year old car, others may think that I have a $100.00 salvage P.o.S. that doesnt belong back on the road. I agree! Half of these repaired cars were repaired with bubble gum, or like those flood cars that found their way into new owner/ victims hands. (Did you know that the "cash for clunkers" cars had the engine ran with liquid glass to destroy them to ensure those vehichles were properly "disposed" of?). I posted this video to Youtube, slightly for buisness purposes and a guy posted it to ls1tech.com. All in all Im a cool guy. Constructive criticism is welcomed, but theres a fine line between hating & critiquing. Dude just think about it..... How would you think if a guy sold you a custom car & later you find out it has 2 replaced quarters off other cars, 1 blue, one green, taped up wiring, a half *** hack job to get it back together, and salvage rebuilt title? Why you think Dynacorn sells New Classic Camaro Bodies? Cuz people dont want junk, I know I dont.

Hey, can I ask a question? What is the "flipped motor mount" on the ls4 cars like yours? Why is it done? I see quite a few guys that list that as a modification. Thanks.

it is when the factory motor mount is turned 90* so there is less engne movement so the power gets to the ground faster....i did it but didnt notice anything so i went to a poly motor mount.

They are actually 19 x 10 out back 19 x 8 up front..and the GTO specific original ROH Drift Rs were over 2k new.

300 a rim is cheap especially for 22s.

Like I said, V8 is cool. Everything else = dumb, an opinion is what it is. I am beyond happy that you enjoy your car. Its on the internet and fair game
