The SS looks much better! There's a Vette here in VB with the Eforce Supercharger on it, It's a nice clean package.

Last update on my SS - I got some vinyl overlays for the front and rear bowties and installed them - really hated the factory gold:

That's about it for now!

Took my SS down to Zmax Dragway to the only Test n Tune that they have scheduled for the entire YEAR!

The car is bone stock minus wheels and tires - here are my results below:

Run 1 - 13.824 @ 105.44
Run 2 - 13.729 @ 103.92.
Run 3 - 13.6 @ 99.25 mph
Run 4 - 14.314 @ 101.95 mph
Run 5 - 13.735 @ 106 mph
Run 6 - 13.696 @ 104.95 mph

Not bad for a first time in this car - the guys at M/T ran 13.3 @ 107 MPH when they tested the SS last year.

Here are a few pics:

Few of the runs filmed from my GoPro:

Quick update on the SS - I really like the look of the blacked out spoiler on the 1LE Camaro - so I got a couple cans of Plastidip - and rattle canned my factory spoiler.

This project was kind of a PITA - as I had to spray it out twice as I goofed up the first time.

A few quick pics until it stops raining here:

SS update - I haven't liked the factory fuel rail cover on the SS since I got the car.

I shopped around - GM sells a painted "Accessory" fuel rail cover for $600 something. Stupid that its just a painted factory unit.

So I picked up a set of LS3 FRCs off a Corvette for $60!

Here they are installed:

Last update before the Power Tour - the last thing the car needed was a better exhaust.

My G8 had a set of SLP long tube headers - and a Corsa catback.

When I traded it in - I left those mods on there as I had not paid for them - they came on the car when I bought them.

Had I known that the G8 catback is the same as the SS - I would have tried to find some OEM mufflers.

So I've been looking for a used set for 6+ months - with such a lower production car (G8) - people just don't sell them second hand.

So I bought a set new for the best prices that I could find. They where backordered and took a month - but I finally got them last week.

I installed the Corsa catback with no huge issue - the flanges on the Corsa are pretty cheap and I couldn't get the nuts started onto the catback flange.

I am loving the sound - and cant wait for the Power Tour!

Making a small fortune by starting with a big one? LOL

Andrew

Marty.... why?

LOL....

How is the 5th gen doing?

One guy buys every single special edition car produced? Sounds like a selfish dick. There could be 50 happy firehawk owners, instead there's only him.

I used to really want a DeLorean. Still kind of do. Anyways, I had a little bit of coin and decided to see what I could find. What I found was a guy that had seven of the F'ing things and wasn't willing to sell any of them... what a dick.
