True, I agree with some of the things you mentioned looking like ass, but if you're making an SS "clone" out of a Z at least a V8 is a good start. Personally I think the flat f-body hoods are ugly anyway, so I can't argue with an SS or WS6 hood on an unequipped car. But at least you can make a "true SS" out of a V8 Camaro, or a WS6 out of a V8 bird. A V6, no matter what you do do it, couldn't even be a true clone of either car.

At least with an 8 you can respond to all the people who say it's "not real" by saying "run me and find out". With the 6 you have to just put your tail between your legs and walk away.

Holy ignorant comment Batman. Maybe 99% of the dip****s YOU see do that...but for a lot of guys that's the furthest thing from the truth.

So the guy made the car look like a WS6, big deal. Maybe he could care less about performance, maybe he bought a V6 'bird and wanted to try different things. Maybe it was his money and he spent it how he saw fit. What does it matter to you? Seriously. Does it demean your WS6 in some way? Does it bring down the value of your car? No...so who cares.

BTW, when I was selling/installing systems very rarely did we have people that put big systems in POS cars...most of the stuff we did was either high end luxury cars or cars that had power to back its looks and stereo...but I guess that's only the 1% :rofl:

ORLY?

You cannot make a "true SS" out of a V8 camaro or a WS6 out of a V8 bird.... only the manufacturer can do that .... your logic is flawed.

And....my v6 has humiliated MANY v8 owners when I said to them run me and find out.... I've NEVER put my tail between my legs and walked away :rollseye:

Ok here is my$.02 not that anybody gives a crap anyway(shut up josh) What if under the hood hid a nice sized turbo. I know people said u could put a turbo on it but if it was already there would there have been anything "bad" said to start with? I personally, would have deleted all of the ws6 or v-8 insignia and thought of something original..and as far as audio guys go..i am one of them and EVERYTHING i have built with a sound system was not over done or looked "ricey"..like i said just my $.02..

Nope, no one really cares Tim. :D

Those rims are sweet. Anyone know what kind they are?

You are getting old ;) The guy says what kind it is in the link.

HP Racing Dark Hyperlight Rims 18X9 All around

That would've been my guess too but his don't have the bolts(I'm having a brain fart, can't remember the name of them lol)

I was also thinking they were the Ruff 281's bit again, no bolts

A Clone is a Clone regardless of what engine is in the car..
If it doesnt have the RPO code for that specific model
It is just a clone

Why is it then that every bit of audio show coverage I see at shows tends to be cavaliers and lower end cars like scions and crap? You'll see a handful of supras or lexus' or whatever, the rest...CRAP. I used to sell car audio too btw, and not at some crap shack best buy or something, the real stuff, and my buddy actually OWNS a high end audio business. I will admit there were quite a few high end luxury cars getting done. But for every 1 of those there are 50 "show car" wannabe turds with a killer stereo; a car that has looks and not much else. Not saying EVERYONE is like that, but there are waaaay more than a few.

I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about, so don't get your panties in a bunch, but I've seen it too. I'm not blowing smoke out my own ass, it's just what I've seen.

And as for the V6 tail between the legs comment, it's not meant to say they're all crap. As I said, speed is speed. I prefer 8's but have no problem with a built 6. Majority of V6 cars though, like it or not are dogs, as is the case with this e-bay car. If you run boost or a 200 shot through a toyota it'll be fast too, does that mean it's necessarily badass? Um...no.

And "true SS" is in the eye of the beyholder. If you want to get technical SS isn't "factory". Alterations were done at SLP, not the GM factory floor. If you know what you're doing then SLP is a name and nothing more, just like Saleen or Shelby to Ford. Over-rated, over-priced names. The SS name was around long before SLP, so I say if you can build it the same, it IS an SS as far as I'm concerned. RPO codes are a techinicallity to make pantywastes feel important and limited. To me it means JACK ****. An SS clone done right is just as good and cheaper than a "real" SS.

All the SS parts can be transplanted to a Z28 to make it, in looks and performance a "TRUE SS", that's my point. Is it SLP, no, but it's just as good. A 6 can't even be a clone os an SS or WS6 because it's missing the fundamental part of being one, an 8 CYLINDER, which means IMO to make it look like one is rice and therefore GAY.

Any kind of clone car is just Gay period..

let the piss fest begin:popcorn:

..and I just drank a 20oz soda :D

None of that **** now. I'm not trying to start anything. We're all friends here as far as I'm concerned. I'm just stating my opinion based on what I see. No disrespect to anyone here...just the homeless homo with the V6 in disguise. :mrgreen:

eh, i dont perfer that thudding from subs and stuff, i have other places to put my money. hence why my truck has a cassette player in it haha

So someone explain to me what's wrong with having a car that looks good but isn't the fastest thing ever? Some people want all show, no go. It's THEIR choice.

& could it be, systems are put in "lower end" cars because not everyone can afford to drive a new lexus/bmw/etc. ??

dude, that car looks great! honestly, the whole v8 thing is silly. there are far too many reasons as to why it isn't that you should just be happy there is someone so passionate about their car. different people have different passions. maybe some of those guys with the 100 dollar beater with the 1000 dollar system call you an ignorant ahole for ripping and racing your car on the street. honestly if people didn't have different passions, wow i would shoot myself.

I have those rims. just not back. They are just too skiny for my car.

only thing I really dislike about that car is the extra kickpanels added next to ... well .. the stock kickpanels.

And the hurst badge slapped on the back end.

Looks nice. I like the rims
