Hey, you do what you gotta do to get around in the winter!
No winters here! Haha I had to rub that in sorry


Anyway, with the car looking the way it does and kind funny looking, I feel sorry for the poor sap who takes me on in a race!
Well hopefully you at least have some ET Streets on those salad shooters otherwise you will be spinning all over the place with that massive amount of power your putting down

Overall, I don't like it... but I'm glad you like it.

- The path that cold air has to take isn't efficient. Even if it was efficient, it looks tacky.

- IMO, it would look 1000x better with just a red color scheme in the engine bay. The blue looks way out of place on your car.

- The stock wheels look terrible

- The intake elbow looks awful

- The hood scoop looks out of place

Positive comments:

- The stripes look really good, especially with the painted front fascia

- The alternator looks sweet

Instead of rigging up a "ram air" with dryer ducting and the stock air box I would of took advantage of the induction that is supplied with the supercharger, and left the pro-stock scoop off of there,and also kept the engine bay black, its too many colors going on with the baby blue. But other than that the motr is A+ and the outside is awsome minus the hood scoop.

I don't know what to think, it's kinda confused me!! I like the hood but i think the scoop should be smaller (kinda big) and it would blend in better if it had big slicks on the back and skinnys on the front (more like a pro stock).

I agree with the fact that the baby blue is alittle much, i think it would look better with just red.

I give you a big though for trying to be different, and like someone else said i always wondered what the hood would look like with a scoop on it.



for trying something new!!

I like the hood a lot. The problem is it would attract too much attention IMO. I agree with the other guy who said stick with the air inlet with the supercharger as intended and a more mellow style hood. It's too much hood for that car. Great paint work btw whoever did it.

Yeah, the hood kinda looks out of place. There was another hood someone posted recently that is a 3" SS hood. I think it looks different, and probably not many people will be using that hood, so maybe you should look into that one? You could always sell that fat scoop at the track.

I think it looks pretty decent besides the stock wheels, but when its winter i guess you'll have that! Engine work is sweet though. Definately different, but that is a good thing

ur engine looks nice, but i was just waundering why such a nice battery is the dirtyest looking thing in ur engine bay? lol. very nice though.

It's one of those things that I haven't gotten to yet. Good eye man.


Well hopefully you at least have some ET Streets on those salad shooters otherwise you will be spinning all over the place with that massive amount of power your putting down.

Hey those snow tires really hook up. The bad thing is that they are only rated for 99 mph.


umm .. whats with the baby blue?

It's not really baby blue, it just looks like in the picture for some reason.


The hood scoop looks out of place.

In the spring I want to try and shave it down if possible.


The path that cold air has to take isn't efficient. Even if it was efficient, it looks tacky.

I agree 100%. That's one of the things I want to address this spring. I'm open for ideas.


Great paint work btw whoever did it.

Thank you. I did it.


Seriously, I bet you that car will put down prolly 450rwhp IF THAT.


I don't think so... I'm just getting started. The look of the car and HP have just begun. When I'm ready I'll post the dyno numbers. This car is not just going to look fast, IT WILL BE A FAST STREET CAR!
