FUTURE PLANS
Performance wise- before the year ends possibly go to a 2.7in pulley, port and polish head, zzp springs, and custom cams, finish up meth kit, MSD DashHawk, and after the year passes who knows what else I'll do... engine and tranny build??? TVS??? switch to turbo???
Exterior- is pretty much finished, most likely will replace head light lenses, and reclear my poor hood
Interior- gonna wrap A-pillars in black suede, do headliner in red suede with the sunroof section in black suede with black trim and sunvisors done in black suede. Will purchase Leather rear seats to match the front and put red suede inserts

OTHER INFO
I've won multiple car shows but I haven't attended any recently except for the GM Lone Star Bash. I've also had my car in some cobalt online magazine as well.
Performance wise- on a stock pulley and not as many bolt ons as I have now I made 227whp and 198wtq.... since then I've added alot more to the car.
best 1/4 was a 13.96 @ 103mph 60ft-2.4 I believe or was it 2.2???


Well here are some pics, enjoy!!!

Liking the red/black scheme. Last picture = hot. And I'm kind of surprised that it's automatic, but I'm not hating because I'm auto too. Good luck! As of right now you got my vote.

thank you, and yeah those girls were actually nice. They stood there and talked to me for awhile about the car. Usually they just take the pic never say anything and just walk off.

As for my pics I changed some and I put them all in the gallery. Completely forgot about doing that.
