Had he also done the fat-bottom girl mod? Most camaros I see lately have this mod in the passenger seat.

They sell V6 ATX Camaros for that "look fast without paying for actual power" image. The exact opposite of something like the new Pontiac GTO. I don't know about you, but I drive an ATX Zetec and I'm not going to kid myself that it is fast...but at least it's exterior doesn't have fake scoops and other stuff that try to make it look like more than it really is. Love your car, but don't forget that it has around 100FWHP. I still love mine, but she ain't no top fuel dragster...

Take it on the track (road) with some suspension mods and bolt ons and see who can ride with the big dawgs.

RedCon, don't sweat these guys I have a buddy w/ a V6 Camaro that trolls here once in a while and my little Zetec has helped him understand the love affair w/ these sedans. He isn't afraid of it, but he respects it. They're a great package...far better than what you get w/ a Crapalier for example.
125.2 FWHP - 126.5 FWTQ SVT exhaust (#4 of 9) - B&M FPR - Custom CAI - bnoon optimized TB #1 & 2 (beat that!!) Black '98.5 SE Zetec MTX Best quote seen in a chat - "Jinx 12345678910 you owe me a naked picture of yourself!"
