I modded the **** outta of my V6 cause I couldn't afford a Z28/SS at the time I did however make it look classy and everyone thought it was a Z28 lol, for a V6 it sounded way louder then my SS but was still a gay V6 lol.

A v6 being louder than an SS isn't a good thing

I've owned v6 camaro's but they remained stock, and clean.

I seen some pretty ugly v8's.
People with brains don't overmod their car is what your comment should have been.
I own a V6 firebird and I added my touch to it, so I am assuming I don't have a brain and my car is the ugliest thing ever?

Yes, they are the American Racing Dale Earnhardt jr. Killers.
They are 18x8.5
The rims look more like 17"s in person because of the huge polished lip on them.

I had them for about 2 years and put about 5000-6000 miles on them.
They still have a lot of tread and they grip really well for my everyday driving even during rain.
Now for drag racing I have no clue how they will last or grip.

Do explain more, please.
That is not a body kit, it's the factory w68 option for firebirds.
Bicycle tires, not going any bigger, already need small spacers to prevent rubbing and yet on the front the tires still rub when i turn.

lol.
Oddly yes, in the front when i turn the wheel about the tire is touching the wheel well.
Now in the back you can see some marks within the wheel well in which you can see some rub.

Just to let people know reading this thread I am not trying to start crap, just wanted to say it's not just the V6 f-body owners making their cars look auto zoned out or riced out.
There is some pretty dumb looking V8's out there too.
I just hate it when I read all V6 f-body owners are stupid and rice out their cars because someone post a pic up of a horrible V6.

Percentage wise you see alot more riced out V6 f bodies, than you do v8's.
I think the v6 mustang is actually known to be alot worse. Your firebird looks pretty clean and tasteful, so just cruise by the ricer v6's.
