P.S.-orange peel is something that SHOULD be there from the factory. That is, unless someone has done something to the paint.

The camera is about 600 bucks...so I think it would be safe to say that its half way decent..and about the orange peel....thats funny..I have owned 2 vette, anbd 3 other camaros...not one had orange peel......But maybe I didnt get the orange peel option when I bought the cars

-If you paid $600 to get pics like that, maybe you should beware of who you're buying from.

-If it was built by GM it did, considering they don't make a habit of wet sanding all the cars that come off the assembly line.

Thats what I was think when I saw the pics even though the car looks good how do we know thats the car you looked at when you got there .Anyone can take a pic of someone else car and advertise it as the one for sale.Only way to tell would be to have a video showing the car and then zoom in on the vin# and hope there was no editing done to the video.

This cracks me up, toofastSS, I think you should quit crying about him not buying your car, you're acting very foolish yourself. Move on, and try to sell it elsewhere. Its simple. Maybe an Admin with delete or lock this thread, its going nowhere. This no no place for namecalling like "*******" and " STUPID **********".

So you have a friend with one. The point is, everyone that knows NHRA wouldn't buy the car because of how he felt about it. THere's something wrong with it if he was that upset about how the car was. There are a handful of us that know him.
