Was it GNX7's silver LS1/FD? Recently, he competed in Sport Compact Car Mag "Ultimate Street Car Challenge".

I thought they said the name demetrious (sp)....i thought i saw someone on here with the same name. I could be wrong though, because i was trying to watch the show and pay attention to my gf at the same time. That 7 looked mean as hell when they showed it taking off from the line.

the show is pretty good, not like tuner transformation where 2 of the guys there have no clue on what their talking about..

the guy brings the parts in and shows his fellow mechanics and is like, "look what came in.." and the other guy is like what is that, part of the roll bar? and he's like no, its a customized front strut bar..

LOL
