    Actually I'd be more likely to say "isn't that a berlina" rather than calais

    Nice car

    Ok here are more pics I have posted up, the sound system and pc mods were done by an auto elec, in the console photo you can spot among the mess of wires (its not normally that messy!) the keyboard, wireless network adapter, and gps antenna .....if your wondering, its CRUISE MISSILE. On the mechanical side of things all that is done to it is a stage 3 shift kit including a corvette servo (I like the gears to kick in nice n hard) with a B&M pro ratchet shifter, 4:11 diff gears, 3000 stally, pacemakers and mandrel bent hi flow twin cat twin outlet system. I have had this car for just over 2 years now, its done just over 110,000 k's (got it at 90,000) so it hasnt been driven around too much and now I think its time to finally have the engine messed with. In the next 2 months I should have it twin throt and stroked 355, low compression forgies in preperation for the vortec SC to be bolted on sometime late 06', basically everything in the engine will be replaced/strengthened, im thinking about chuckin out the rims and mini tubbing it...probably run 285's on the back 235's on the front, its 245 on all corners at the moment. The fuel system will cop a nice shot with a bosch 044 fuel pump and bosch 1600cc injectors...other then that I wont reveal too much til the job is done....

    you should atleast put the new ss badges on the back doors, would suit it to a dime as they are chrome aswell like the strips.
    Some people say less talk more action, i say more torque less traction.

    only one way to tell, put them on take a photo and ask for feedback, you atleast need something to tell its an SS, maybe just the crome SS badge on the back...

    lol...f**k SS, you can already tell its an 8...all the same crap....same 304 model across the board except minor cosmetic changes...some are 'enhanced' (pft) with a chip and/or cold air intake. Your talking about peanuts here really.

    don't worry about the baggers, man. i think it's a nice ride. personally would tidy up the wiring and that (so the passenger has somewhere to put their legs ha ha!) but it's nice. one question though, you said you're going for a blown set up, with a 355ci crank. why are you using 1600cc injectors? that is freakin huge man, you should get away with 1000cc at the most with that setup. let us know what else you are deciding to do.....

    As me and my mates here say, if it doesn't have the spotties on, its not a real SS. Sorta like getting a Calais and taking the interior out, the dash...

    Also, i rekon S2 VS Calais lights look better than those clear things that every 2nd person has. Put the spotties back in, and i'll have a little more respect for the car.
