Looks very Viper-ish. I think its the blue and the rear quarters. VERY good looking!

Man some of you guys have crazy **** going on.... the orange and blue FD above are insane.

Anyway here's my pile. Pretty plain and simple Most of the norotors guys have seen it already.

Buttonwillow Feb 2012 driver's clinic, had a great time. Kinda gay how the camera angle makes the car look like it's leaning more than it actually is, whatever.


This was after a skidpad event at El Toro airfield in So. CA. That's why the car is so filthy hehe.

I want a V8 in my FC. Maybe once I'm done college, aha. Cars are looking great.

R71, is that the 6.1L from an SRT8?

A big NO! for me on missing the rotary. Love everything about the LSx platform...power, sound, drivability, easy to work on, endless engine combo's, etc...

This.

Although i dont have an LS FD. I own an LS2 car.

I love the LS powerplant but also I love the way my FD feels. I can just imagine combining both is basically perfection.

Ironically, I dont have any good pics of the engine bay. I open the hood so infrequently and worry so little about the engine I never take pics of it!
