I like it! Not the best winter car, but very fun cars. Those v6's are easy to play with. Any plans?

Throw snow tires on it and survive the winter! :lol:

I'd like a K&N short ram, mostly just for the noise. haha. Eventually true duals, plenum spacer, and a tune.

It's kind of an early graduation present to myself since I graduate in May. I'd like to say it'll be a blown beast, but I figure the money involved it'd be easier to pick up a vette and avoid reliability issues. Plus eventually will come buying a house as well. So it'll stay mostly stock... I hope.

Good news is I sold the SVT to the first people to look at it, bad news is, I learned modding never pays. Luckily I sold off most of the aftermarket gems. Just gotta find someone who wants those rims and I'll be set.

But I did notice the calipers need a painting, not sure what color though, Red would stand out but might be too much and Yellow might confuse people it's a Viqueen's car. Hmmm. Black is just so bland. I dunno we'll see.

A nice silver or maybe even white would work for the calipers too, but body color would probably be the best.

I like it, nice ride.

Body color would look really good, or gold. Dark Blue's and Maroon just look so good with gold calipers. LOL

There happens to be some "Brembo" brakes on craigslist for my car. Too bad they're asking 1600 for them and I'm not totally convinced they are the brembo's because they look freshly painted gold. Just seems fishy. I might do a dark gold/bronze color. That'd look pretty good I bet.

Love the 350 Zs, I'd have to have it in silver personally but they're all sharp.

Yeah, there wasn't a whole lot to choose from and I bought this one from right down the street from Tousley Steve. At the Suby dealer. Test drove it right past Tousley. Too good of a deal to pass up on!
