DUDE that Camaro looks Kewl! We here in Hawaii are trying to get this class going, would have had a great turnout today if we did'nt get rained out!!!  Was glad to find the SiR Trans Am rules. We are loosely following them. Here's my Pro4 with Cuda body (painted by 05tacoma ) and his Mustang. |

That cuda is saaaweeeet. I'd love to get the new one, well the new Charger but no way the wife lets me drop 40large on a two door sports car. Oh, well I'll just keep getting my speed fix on two wheels for a while longer  |
