Great weather here in Central Iowa, so brought the car out to a local park and grabbed some pics! A few things left to do on the exterior of the car, but finally have it photo worthy.
This spring I took over ownership of my late brother's old Mustang who passed away back in '06 at the age of 21. Back in ‘09 my dad purchased it back from the guy who my brother sold it to in ‘05 and it has been in the family ever since. For the last 12-years it had been driven once or twice a...
Not the best angles, but interesting none the less. Racing starts at around the 3:40 mark.
Video description says the following:
"STOCK DODGE DEMON VS BOLT ON HELLCAT IN A HALF MILE RACE. THE HELLCAT WON BOTH RACES. THERE WAS A DRIVER ERROR BY THE DEMON DRIVER THE FIRST RACE, THE SECOND RACE...
Interesting stuff, I also didn't realize Mercury developed the LT5 for GM back in the 90's.
"These are integrated with a General Motors LS engine block and assembled with Callies Dragonslayer crankshaft, Carrillo connecting rods and Mahle pistons. In this specification, the engine is capable of...
The Corvette Museum in Bowling Green Kentucky is building a "World Class" road course. This track will be the GM proving grounds for the Corvette and the C7R race team. It will be also be open to the public for various track rentals and events. The track is around 3.5 miles long in total, has a...
Cleaned up my Camaro for the first time this year. Also put a new set of 27x11.5 Hoosier QTP tires on the rear (ignore the stickers on the tread lol). I used paint thinner to take the Hoosier paint off of the tires to give it a little cleaner look this go around. I haven't done anything to the...
I hadn't seen this yet and figured I would share. I was disappointed in the look of the car with the last group of pictures I saw on here, but the car looks great in this video IMO. The guy from GM is pretty annoying, but it's a good look at the car:

Finally got out tonight and snapped a few photos after getting the new wheels on Friday. I picked it up in March and it's been a work in progress since. It has a leveling kit, has been debadged, Escalade handles, dumped exhaust, window tint, tinted tails, and a few other odds and ends. I have...
Here is a video from tonight at our local 1/8th mile track. Still running the 10-bolt with 4.10's. I was pulling consistent 1.6x 60ft times. Drove the car home so that's always a good thing! Runs in the 7.6's in the 1/8th, 92-94 mph full weight. I would really like to get some negative DA to see...
Hey guys, just thought I'd share a quick idle video of my car. Did the cam swap this summer and made it to the track this past Friday.

Broke out the Porter Cable this weekend. Spent about 10 hours clay barring, buffing, and waxing. Just took these photos with a point and shoot so nothing special. Let me know what you think.
The most expensive one was on my way home...
No, it's not a C6Z (seems to be the norm on here lately lol). Picked up this 2009 G8 GT, it's loaded with 28,000 miles. The 6-Speed Auto shifts great and the 6.0 has a lot power, the engine/trans work great together. The interior, stereo, and overall driving/ride quality is great. Sorry for the...
I saw this on LS1Tech, thought some might like to see this. I like the look of it and excited to see it come out. I like the subtle changes that they made inside and out and I think it really improved the look of the car. I'm surprised they went with the ZL1 name, but it should be a great car...
I posted this in the NWS pictures thread, but I figured it deserved its own thread lol. If it's a repost I'm sorry.

This is a dash cam video of an Iowa Lineman who had a motorcycle accident involving a head on hit with a truck. He didn't suffer any major injuries and is planning to play in the first game today. Pretty amazing that he didn't have any injuries and was able to get back up after such a hard hit...
Thought some might be interested to see this, looks like it will for sure be 2012 from the picture of the stats on the dash. Looks to have a different hood, bumper, exhaust and CTS-V brakes. Too bad they are two years late on releasing it. No word on whether or not the car will have the LSA or...
I'm looking for a set of bullitt wheels for my dad's 2000 GT. As of now he has factory 17" bullitts and he's looking to upgrade to a wider wheel in the back. If you have or know somebody looking to get rid of a set of four 17" or 18" black or anthracite wheels with 10.5 inch wheels in the back...
Pulled .99 longitudinal G's at the strip and got an emergency call
This thing sounds awesome!
