Red 2006 SS/na w/ 18" s/c wheels

Here's just a few pics of the car, i'll be getting more later. Car has Injen CAI, Axle back exhaust w/ Megan n1 Muffler, Ecu tune from Vector Motorsports, S/C wheels, and onstar antenna as stocker. Car puts down 159whp @ 6600 and 150wtq @ 4400. Car ran 9.9's in the 1/8th with crappy 2.4 60fts, so better times are there just need some practice launching, and some control arm bushing . Anywho on to the few pics i'll get more up tommorow.

What Did You Downgrade To Bigger And Heavier Wheels Man. I Would Have Gotten Lighter Ones With Stickier Tires.

Traded my 17" na wheels with all season tires for 18" w/ pretty much brand new pzero's for $75 bucks. And from what i've heard the 18's are lighter, not sure though. I'll be getting some drag radials this summer.

Yes, they are a forged wheel. However, the 18" PZero's are gonna be a bit slower on the track but A LOT better in the handling dept!!!

I like the smoked look of the 18's but I bet they slowed you down. Nice ride and times though

Here's one more pic. Folks took the camera with them on vacation so more pics will have to wait. The rims are really just a temorary upgrade, I was in the area of a member who wanted to trade so i did, and am glad i did as i love the Rosso's . Later they will get an all season tire for winter. The S/C kit won't find its way on here, I have a hard enough time with people thinking its an S/C as it is. I'll be looking at a few front lips when they come out and Rk's spoiler and thats it with the body. The rest of my money is being saved up for boost . thanks for the comments and suggestions
