el camaro would be fucking awesome then you wouldn’t even need the fancy suspension and wide tires, just some shitty tires to shred while you’re doing hairy burnouts. ---

dude, you ain’t kidding. it’s amazing how much the hatch loads the rear. granted, i don’t have the spring height/load set, both firehawk853 and myself did a little burnout trying to get over the tiny hump on the lift, lol ---

Does anyone remember the guy in hamburg with the el camaro? It was red I think. Oh and yah, cars are more badass in Texas!! When I brought the vette here the ls1 turned into a c5-r block. ---

Build looks awesome man, so what all is involved to be able to run those 335’s ? I’m currently in the market for an SS… i’m hoping to have one by the end of April 🙂 ---

cool! 335’s can be had with a BFH. they are slightly larger than my 315’s, which fit with some moderate hammering, but nothing substantial. really not a big deal. i happened to have mini-tubbed the car for the hell of it, so i have a lot of clearance ---

we’ll see… don’t know if the 17’s will let me do that, but im sure some 29" tires will do that for me 🙂 … i just dont feel like dropping the cash now though ---

I don’t mind rolling the fenders and doing some “massaging” if need be 🙂 I’ve always love the SS and after looking around I was surprised to find them so affordable. I was looking at GTO’s but the weight and higher price have deterred me. ---

i think im going to have a guy come install my carpet when it’s time, who works at a custom upholstry company. he’s done custom work for us in the past and is real good…which has me thinking… i might see what he can do with my stock seats, as far as harness slots and custom covers goes. if it is doable and the price is right, i may ditch my corbeaus. JT76 has dibs if he has the cash… ---

well im kinda taking a couple days off here because im getting sick of it… but it really depends on when the body shop can take the car in. they’ve been backed up because of my dad’s car, and now they really need to get some work out the door. i was hoping it would be done by the end of the month, but now it looks like it may be slightly longer. I don’t anticipate it taking longer than until mid April ---
