Yeah it has been like that for a while from what i understand dumdumdum replaces it cause the mod thinks it is a dum saying.

And for the vid, hell yeah what rims were on that SS, are those 99 SS standard rims? They look a lot like ZR1's.

They are zr1 style rims, came standard on the 98 and 99s. Whats funny is how the trans am pulls away from the camaro after 60mph, must be the bigger hood scoop to let more air in, i dont know.

you guys really think there's a difference in handling on the ws6 and the SS? I wonder. It seems like pontiac and chevy would've done their own homework even though its the same frame, know what I mean?

Ya I know, but the difficult part that I find with fbodys are that they all came with different suspension options that changed the way they handled. Like one camaro would be entirely stock and the other could have the ultra performance handling package, or the adjustable koni shocks, they came so many different ways, lol. That could have been one of the issues here, the one I cant seem to figure out is why the trams am would pull away from the camaro after 60mph, funny.

"The Camaro's handling is impressive!" What a joke, stock handling is awful. But it sucks that the Mustang got worse....then again...its a Ford.
