When I had mine I got endless compliments on the car. I could have been the color and that act that it was always spotless but even ont he few times it was rained on and dirty people would say it was a beautiful car.

It looks like a wiener with a roof because of the round front & rear end.

I like the looks of the GTO. I believe it's elegantly understated.

+1 on understated. I kind of like obnoxious...what is funny is the Viper guy crying though. Ethyl sort of makes a statement like "wanna smurf?"

So do you run hood less or what? That seems ginormous.

I drove a Torrid Red 05 M6 today. I feel I need to buy one now. The Goats are about as comfortable as my Impala SS but LS powered. I love my F Body but the Goat is certainly a car I wouldn't mind owning as a DD.

Ethyl is the pinnacle of GTO, what every GTO owner should strive for.

That is the largest positive displacement blower yet mounted on a street driven GTO, maybe even on an LS engine. It is a 4.0 Liter Whipple. It is sitting on a built 408. Once we decide on the final tweaks we will settle the hood down. I am leaning for a pro stock front end clip. Thus far the big black blower has **** on a Gen 3 Viper and scared the **** out of me a few times. Here she is on the dyno

I had to do some hood mods also to get coverage (nothing quite like ethyl though), not really going for style points though since it is a track car.

My buddies shop car. 440 LSX with a 4.2L Kenne Bell.

ETP LS7 Heads. Custom lower to fit the Kenne on the LS7 heads.

I think the car did 920ish rw through an auto.

Obviously the budget wasn't an issue. Beautiful set up.

I think he will end up having tape slip. If he does I recommend either blue or green painters tape to keep full boost at high RPM.
