He also owns the truck with the 36" and the F1 Prochager. I don't think he expects much out of it compared to his other truck. He just wanted a little more pep out of what he had. I aggree about the polished, that is what he wanted though.

Of course a full size SUV is not going to get to play in the same ballpark, or even same SPORT really as an f-body with the same dollar amount spent on mods. What really makes it worth it though is the resulting total absurdity of a full-size SUV running even with most sports cars. It's just not something most people would expect to see. For some reason having your Turbo V-Tec Civic get smoked by a 3-ton full-size groccery getter is something that your friends and girlfriend will just never let you live down.

Its a real nice looking ride even if its not somenes taste you ahve to admit. I like it. Hell he needed the Radix to get performance back to normal after the 24's. What really suprises me and it kind of bothers me is that he didnt get the polished blower? I mean he obvioulsy isnt going to be racing that tank so why not get it polished?????????????????????? $50,000 truck what maybe $7-8k wheels and tires maybe more and he didnt spend the extra $700 for the polished Radix? Id love to put my old lady in that beast though as is!

I actually like it my self also. I wouldnt mind driving it as my everyday driver. It is a real nice ride. Everything is smooth. The color has grown on me also, it's not something you would see everyday.
