Steve, you bullys! I was not aware of the must race rule?

Car looks nice, but I hate the fuel cell. Does anyone else think the Big hood and front spoiler combination looks funky?
I don't like the big hood period. T/A hood would be nice.

T/A hood...spoiler...lose the front air dam. Other than that it's a killer ride.

Yeah Steve, is that what really happened? Car was built to be driven, but he wouldn't take it down the 1/4? Not following that one....

For a '67 Firebird, I would of took the $45k and ran.

My offer from PHR was:
"bring the car to the track and we will do a photo shoot"

Let me think about it

I am on my way

I agree, it is a very nice ride that would be that much better with the Ram Air hood instead of the cowl induction hood .

yup the big hood is no good. Looks like a weird cross between drag race and road race. If he had a poncho motor, I could see why he would need the hood, but with the LS1 it doesn't make any sense, unless he just liked the way it looked. I have a 3" cowl hood instead of the killer ram air hood on my car, but on second gens carburetor clearance is even worse. The flat hoods don't give you any clearance whatsoever
