Like alot of you guys I got my SS with no intent of going nuts on performance stuff. It was gonna be rims, lowering, shaving, system, etc.

Here I am a year later and all I've done is performance upgrades and haven't even put at thought into the other stuff. Now I'm trying to figure out what FI system I want to go with You just can't beat the feeling when you completely dust some doofus in a riced out honda or some other car. Plus, its a thing of beauty to see a big peice of american engineered metal cruising at 100+ w/ more room left to run... almost brings a tear to my eye

i got my truck right out of highschool in 02. the gam plan was lifting it for an off road look. well that didn't work out when my parents found out, they said thats not reasonable whatever that means. so i decided to make it faster. slowly but sure it is coming a reality. its always funner to take things that are slow and make them fast. i got the truck to make beat my friends eclispe, got a little honda 250r to make it beat a suzuki lt500<-- those are quads. its priceless to see the look on people face when you blow by them in something that is suspose to be slow!

Anybody that knows me knows my vehicles wont stay stock very long. My first real modded vehicle was my camaro-of course when i got it brand new in 02 i had no big plans just headers off road y gears and thats it-well after well over 10k spent on the car i had a low 11sec. street/strip car that ended up not being streetable after a few other mods. I demodded her and got the VHO. I love my truck and as you can tell by the sig those mods are coming. Radix is coming up after Thanksgiving and im gonna go surprise all the trucks/cars in the area. BTW girls like fast *** trucks here so that helps out too.

Well, i got my truck as a step up from my 4wd ZR2 S10, more room and the V8 i missed from 2 previous Camaro Z28's it's easier to go fast and sound and look good in a V8 fullsize lowered truck, than an S10, but i got into the truck scene since my last camaro kinda got mangled due to me drag racing where i shouldn't have been, and should have never survived, and after EXTREME pressure from the friends and family, i was not allowed to purchase another sports car........................hehe i just got an 81 camaro to tinker with though, after almost 2 years with no Camaro...............but damnit i'm getting married and selling the camaro to fund the wedding, a huge man no no. Funny how it all works out.
