SOM has to be some kind of rare. Regardless it is plain sexy.

Here is a picture of my car in the sun light. But it does look so much better in person.

Thats it. From Texas Driect Auto. I know some people on here werent that impressed with them but I read other people that loved them. Its not for me.... I hate SS verts (even if it is SOM). If it were a SOM WS6 I'd be all over it.

I wanna say that only 44 SOM verts were made in 2001. I could be wrong. Friends been looking for one for a while and I thought I read that somewhere on here.

WU8 RPO code is inside the door. Its an SS. Side badges were taken off when they painted very faint transparent flames on it - the only downside about this car.

Figured it would be. Thats still a damn nice car. Previous owner did some tasteful mods to it.

I could care less about the verts. They just dont look right especially the Camaros.

I was really impressed with the guys at Texas Direct. My friend ran into a little bump with the financing at the last second, something on the Capital One end. But the financing guy there (forgot his name) took care of it and we were on our way.
