Don't know if you were home (the vette was in your driveway), but I drove past and revved a couple times on Saturday afternoon.

Very nice looking rims! I never had much luck with the Nitto's though. The last tires I tried were the Cooper ZX2s I think they were and they were great.

BTW, the Nitto's hook out friggin standing! Even running the power I am, I am still hooking up awesome without even heating the tires up! It does also help I pretty much have full drag suspension done to the car as well though.

The fog lights are PIAA's. They took a bit of work to get rigged up just right, but they are awesome at lighting up the road, and they look much better than the stock ones IMO.

that my friend is an '08 calendar pic if I ever saw one! That pic is awesome!
The Nitto's hooked great for me too, but wore out kinda fast and weren't as good as the Cooper's in wet weather. Still great tires though.

LOL, no I wasn't home. I had the T/A out all weekend.

SteveR, thanks for the compliments. I'll be sending all of these in for a chance at the calender. As for the Nitto's, I usually go through a rear set a year (asuming it isn't on jack stands most of the year), but they hook aweseome for me.
Jersey TA, I guessed you might be out enjoying the nice holiday weekend in your F-body as well. We need to set up another cruise night to TR. Now that I have my Z back in town, the wife can drive up the Formula, and I can drive up in my car as well.

Nice. Congrats on getting the ride back up here. We actually went saturday in less than ideal circumstances. Got to see 2 accidents and a street bike explode right across from the little wawa :shock:
I might have to schedule another cruise down to make up for saturday's crappy weather. I'll be taking the vette this time after my "incident" on the parkway that scared the crap out of me.

Let me ask around. The weather is iffy though.

As much as I want to go out and play, I'd rather wait for a perfect day to do it, rather then get rained out.
Let me know if anyones headed up, and I'll be keeping a good eye on the weather.

Those rims are awsome. I'm looking to upgrade myself.
Also I've never owned silver in anything but an old beater pick-up I painted with a spray can :) but I love silver f-bodies. Its just a classly looking ride.

Very nice looking car. I like all the pics, then the last picture, with the altezzas, I had a "wtf" look on my face... why oh why are they on your car? :confused:

For the car, I wanted a look that wasn't stock, but was different and agressive looking without going over the top. The tailights have been modified with VHT, so especially in the day, they contrast the car well. At night with the lights on, the fact that they are altezzas come out clearly. I like the look of the tailights, especially compared to the stock ones. Some others have also mentioned they don't care for them, but I couldn't be happier with them.

Here's a pic of the lights during the day without the lights on.
