Saw the car at SEMA but the hood was closed so I had no idea what was under the hood. Didn't even notice some of the subtile changes until looking at the pictures here. Very nice car and it sounds great.

As to the other exchange here, I know none of the personalities, however, this may be the danger of written communication (as opposed to face-to-face)
Intent vs perception

And frankly, my initial perception of certain posts was, "why are you harshing his buzz?"
not the warmest reception for a new poster.

This is certainly a tough group. I've been married for a while so I've had plenty of conditioning for this type of banter.

I just posted the build sheet. Nothing corporate about this build - a Pontiac build up all the way!

Now that's a PONTIAC!!!

Typically around here if it's doesnt' have Rally II wheels or the correct color Pontiac Blue you are suspect. :-)

One of the nicest cars I have ever seen! I would love to make my 92 firebird like this. The black on black is so cool, Pontiac engine and turbos! I love everything about this car.

What size are those intercooler cores? Can you post a few pics of them out of the car?

Thanks,
