I don't see anything else needing to be done to that EVIL V. :drool:

I really want some forced induction of somesort... just don't really want to drop the bank right now I guess

but thanks a lot man

very nice.. love the truck too

Welcome to the site
sick V by the way
ever run it down the quarter?

Nasty to say the least. How about a very good detail to the paint.

I will this summer for sure... but I get absolutely no traction on the street with gay 245s

So you have a solid axle in the rear?

IRS still

Oh OK. You got the 9" carrier section then.

yeah, but my question is what does that come out of? I know mustangs are smaller than that

I dunno. I know there are units in Australia for the CTS-V/GTO/G8 that are 9".

Nice V man, that is an awesome car. I bet it really moves with that kind of power!!

Well, if thats an issue then i would tell you to get a new wheel and tire setup
maybe its just me thats not too big of a fan of those wheels
I think a nice set of polished wheels would set that car off

To each their own i guess

no I fully agree. plus they are actually black chrome, the picture was taken RIGHT after I got it, apparently they were just extremely dirty, they are actually a lot different than the picture, and I fully agree. I do not like the wheels


only problem is, my CHEAPEST option is CCW... and that is not cheap. No companies really make wheels for 6x115mm and it really sucks...

I dont want to pay 4K a wheel like some that are out there... But I want a legit looking set up that will be wider to aid in traction at the same time

Black chrome is nice, but it depends on the wheels and the car
And i was gonna say to look for some CCWs but its a lot of cash for anyone to spend

very nice car. you know pontiacfan (kelly)on here? he lives in the same city.
