I had a feeling that **** would happen,that's why I never come out.If you buy what they have,you're trying to copy them,but if you get anything other than what they have,they talk ****.Shoulda put a hugger orange evo wing on it,then it'd be PERFECT!

I'm not pissed,it's just that I've never met drew,and never talked **** on matt. I can't figure out why they wanna pick me out of the crowd,that's all. I like the HOSS,and the EVO I know was/is (don't know setup either) a quick car. I just don't appreciate being picked out of a crowd i'm not even a part of.

it's hard not to pick you out with the big spoiler I'M KIDDING!!!! gotta give someone **** today and you left yourself open with that one haha.

I guess put it this way. If you see some ricer with lambo doors and multi paint your going to say something right...? well to them they probably didn't like the wing (I don't know if they did or not) and has some comments about it. like I said it's not for everyone.

Like me I hate halos on f bodys some people love them and hate stock headlights.

All in all it's your ride do with it what you like. Some people don't like my manta stripe I like it and thats all I care about.

he ran not so hot. i think it went a best of 15.1 @ 95-96. His best 60 was a 2.6 so I think that is the biggest part of his problem. Tranny is shot, 3-4 clutch is toast. I need to buy a trans from a sponsor or do you guys know of a trustworthy local trans shop that won't screw me over for a good rebuild?
