71' Datsun 240Z
82' GMC Short Wide 4x4 w/3" lift on 33's, awesome truck
80' Chevy Short Wide 2wd Lowrider w/Nasty 355, Crower cam, Dart heads, Vic Jr, Holley dp.

i always wanted to keep mine forever too. but i have decided on my next list of mods, gonna upgrade to 11 inch tt2s for the rear, do a charcoal or black manta stripe and get a satin black berger panel. i wont have to spend a but ton of money that way, and my visual mods will be complete

Hey bro just keeeeeeeeep the car!!!!! You have a stout ride for now. Just put it on hold tell you get the urge to put more money into it.. Think about this. If you get a GTO your going to put more money into it cause it won't be nearly as fast as your SS. And paint wise, talk to freefallin!!!

Why would you get rid of your car for a GTO and then modify it? Why not keep your car and de-tune it? Sorry things are going the way they are.

hell ya, im just tired of the 35th decal, i like the manta.
if i get a gto it wont be for a long time, you guys are right im just gonna do a few cheap things and leave the car alone
i saw that it looks good, how much you charging for that kinda work?
well my car isent really that nice anymore, the carpet is trashed, and i never wash it, the interior smells bad like mildew. you should have 42x hp easily. i see you have heads and a cam, i think you would make at least that or more.
