LoL. You had a PT car and changed it into a race car. Grass is greener man. I sometimes think how much easier it would be if this was a track car and I didn't have to worry about comfort lol.

BTW I keep forgetting to bring them over to Brett's to compare the size but I bought two 427 emblems already that attach with the 3M double sided tape. I want them to be about the same size as the factory 327 even if they aren't the same font. The 427 emblems I picked up looked short in person but we'll see.

That rear shot looks awesome, and I think the stance looks nailed to me.

It finally hit me why the car looks so much more aggressive to me , aside from the stance - No front bumper. You HAVE to leave it off!

I had a high RPM shifting issue with the stock 4th gen GM clutch hydraulics and LS7 clutch. Plus the Pomona Valley Customs install caused the master to leak from day 1. I finally finished modifying the tick master cylinder to work. Tested the car today and high RPM shifting is FIXED!

I've made enough progress that I can finally get the car over to Sal at TCI and get this thing truly road worthy.

x2. This has been a real slog for you. It's good to hear that there may be a track day in your near future.
