I was going to say on the photobucket page I think it's the last link that you can copy in that little box that is below or along side of the picture. Which ever one of them links has "[IMG]" at the beginning of it.

Is that Teal? It looks blue in most of the pics, which is the color of my car. The only thing I would do is tint the windows. I had limo tint on my car, with the black hardtop, and it looked very good, imo. Personally, I would leave the body stock. I think most cowled hoods, after market spoilers etc., look like a$$.

Yes it is actually teal. In person it actually looks more green but in pictures it looks blue...? I don't know what the deal is with it. I was planning to lower it and put on tint, but I was also thinking of putting the original orange turns in the front and red side markers back on it and putting tint, or covers over them to give it a darker look. Not sure yet. I was going to put on the Ultra Z hood and 5" RK spoiler but I think everyone's convinced me to leave it stock. I guess you really don't see many all stock V8 cars much any more.

Yea man, leave it stock and smooth. I like the little RS Spoiler I added to mine, but that's just me.

It looks nice like it is. I can't wait to get my car painted, shined up and back on the road. I might be 60 before it's finished, but college chicks are gonna want me.

Do you have any pics of yours? I was thinking I would put a layer of like 5% tint over the amber turns in the front and the also on the rear tail lights and the side markers. That way if I get into trouble I can always peil them off. To me at first the clear coroners on the front and side looked good, but now it just looks funny. With the wheels all shinned up the lights just look weird, but that's just me though. See I like the LT SS spoiler because at first glance you wouldnt' notice unless you knew what you were looking for.

I just now realized that you are from Little Rock. How strange. I live up in Cabot. We should get together and do some cruising. I know a couple guys from up here with F-bodies. Did you ever hear of the LT1 guy from Gwatney Chevrolet there in Jacksonville. If so that was me. Pretty cool. I thought Merv and I were the only two on here from the Little Rock area.

^^I have been up there a few times, a while ago though..

Why'd it **** you off, it's just a LT1 Car..come play..

That's what some kid with a LS1 Camaro that had a hidden 100 shot and a sleeper Cam though, he started taking ****, him and his boys called me out and then he got owned by about 4 lengths at Shackleford, I was spinning along side of him for like 100ft out of the hole too..then I hooked up and took off. He launched on spray..and I left him..lol

We popped hoods after, and he was like WTF..


He left, didn't come back that night cause everyone gave him ****..lol

Yea I ran him down 440 cutoff a few times. I ran him from 50 to 160. Told merv about it. We started door to door and at 160 he had about three lengths in front of me. I work for a dealership that has all sorts of cool laptops and stuff. We had our cars hooked up so no one would cheat and we were both running 100 percent on the TPS. I was impressed with my car but not in his, but the GTO's are the slowest LS car that is made. I was just amazed my car would actually go that fast. Scary as hell though on stock suspension and brakes.

Green3spd...in the video you have racing the gray mustang..was his name jared, or something like that? I raced a guy with a mustang up at centerville that looked exactly like that and I whipped his ***. I talked with him afterwards and I think his name was jared or something like that anyway. It was sad, he had a full exhaust and 75 shot...that is if it's the same guy.
