I just picked one up yesterday - I didn't realize it was a rare color until investigating prices online before making an offer to dealer. Needless to say, I think I got a fair deal and picked it up last night. I really love the car.

I've been a (caugh) Ford (really just Mustang) guy all my life. I had a super-nice 94 Corvette for about a year that I really liked, too. After selling off the 'vette and the Mustang (decided to get out of the pure drag only type car) we started looking around for a nice T/A. Search took about a year before I found the car I wanted at the price I wanted to pay, but I can now say that the search was worth it.

Now it's time to move on to mods The guy that had the car before me has already done LT headers, full off-road Y-pipe, exhaust system and intake box so I'm now digging around to learn about the basic stuff you GM guys are doing.

I'd appreciate anyone's input that can point me in the right direction.

nice, but i would take that white stripe off imo, or keep that and change the fender stripe to white

theres to many clashing colors w/ the car, but other than that i love the color

The previous owner was trying to go with the Grand Sport Corvette look, which is where the red fender stripes come in along with the ZR1 wheels. I think we're going to loose the white stripes, the red fender stripes, replace the hood with a Ram Air hood and then add back on the 30th ann. striping done in a purple with some dark gray accents in a few places - that should look alot better.

Yeah, I had a 1994 Vette that was Admiral Blue and I loved it.. it was just one of those colors you didn't see too often.
