Default pics of my new SS











SLP SS. 43k. 6 speed. Picked it up last tuesday froma dealership....very happy with it. Im 21 and its my first standard car....doing pretty good driving it tho.

Gorgeous car! What did you pay for it? Get some billet aluminum polish. Make sure that the tips are really clean, soap and water, beforehand though.

well at the dealership they wanted 19500 before taxes...I gave them a 3 grand down payment and traded in my V6. I still owned 1200 on my V6 and they paid that off and gave me another 3 grand down on the SS...out the door with taxes I paid 16,200....pretty good deal for a car like that if you ask me...theirs not a spot of rust anywhere on the car...not even the brake lines/fuel lines have a spot of rust on them....

where can I get the billet aluminum polish?? and how do I do it?? Do i hafto wire wheel the tires or sand them down to get them that already polished look?

if you cant get them to shine with some polish, then buy some new center mount exhaust tips. See if they come in stainless steel if they dont.

It appears they arent stainless steel. But that gmmg exhaust is

Where are you located? I think the prev owner of that car worked in Watervliet. I used to see it all the time on the way to my cousin's house. Did you buy it at a Dodge dealership on Rt 9?

yes....the previous owner already contacted me and we talked about the car....

back when he had it before any of his mods he ran a 13.3 with it....since then he added a ported/polished throttle body, SLP intake and a stage 2 ram clutch...

I also just put on some BMR LCA'S and I have an adjustable BMR torque arm on the way....I should be able to break the 12 second mark with these mods.
