    car is looking awesome mate, would be awsome with a stroker i'm thinking of doing that now or rims if the stroker costs too much.

    spraying the grilles the same color as the car looks nice as well.

    Nice tidy car bud

    As for the EPA, most decent exhaust places are qualified testers, stick a couple of extra mufflers in and get it tested, all is sweet.

    bad luck about losing the licence, atleast with it off the road you can strap together the 355 stroker...

    Looks awesome!..

    You can't beat them 5lt's, They might not have the power of the LS1, But for a great feeling great (Best) Sound and plan old fashion fun that smile on your dial you wont beat them. When you here the 5lt turn it on you spin your head off your shoulders to find it nothing sounds better.

    What could be better, you get pulled over for doing a skid, the police offer a free adjustment, a couple of good whacks later, the reception is far clearer then ever before.
    Nothing like a bit of good old community service.
