I like the color, I bet it looks really nice in the direct sunlight, and probably gets up quick with that 4.1 block.
Oh she scoots 8) . In the sunlight it almost looks maroon/purple. I have some pics from the first show I took it to that might give you an idea.

Spent some time in the garage today. Car hasn't been out in weeks because of the weather and salty roads. Installed a new turbo shield and GNS Performance carbon fiber core support braces. Still waiting on a black stainless radiator top plate to show up.

Did a couple more updates to the engine bay. Gbodyparts stainless radiator plate powder coated black and a relay name plate from GNS. Also have a TA Performance rear diff girdle, RJC 3in cross flow exhaust system, and 255/60 MT ET streets that will be installed soon. More pics to come.

Got some more accomplished today as I try to prepare for show season. I removed the old dual 2.5in ATR exhaust and decided to try the RJC 3in cross flow system. It's a nice system but I have some fitment issues I'll need to address to make it 100%. Sounds similar to the ATR system but I noticed a deeper, more aggressive tone and less drone while cruising. Will add a finished pic and video later. I also installed my TA Performance diff girdle while I was under there. Next round will consist of Alradco HID's and efans, 20% tint, and new tires for my T wheels. One day I want to call this thing finished :roll: .

Thanks. Your right, I'll always find something to do. I have a pile of other upgrades to do within the next two weeks, stay tuned. Got word last week that the car will be in the upcoming May issue of GM High Tech Performance in the Street Heat section so keep an eye out for her 😀 .
