I'll admit the car looks 10x better but why put the SS badges on it? It isn't one, maybe you should lay off the "poseraide?"

ya thats tight.

Sweet *** car, but a Z28 is just as good as an SS. No need for misrepresentation.

Why don't you chill out and stop drinking "STEAL MY THUNDERAIDE!"

What difference does it make on what badges, ever seen a "Z28" with a SS hood & wing? Looks stupid to me.

I have a REAL SS and I don't have a problem with people doing that. Now when it comes time to sell a car they should inform them its not an SS. But yes it looks 10 times better, IMHO!

You guys act like this is the first time somone put a SS hood and wing on a Z28. I'll go ahead and break out the cross, you guys bring the nails, and we'll crucifie him now!

Congrats Thomas!


Peace,
Craig.
