Thanks guys for the compliments. I'm afraid that there are alot of people who would love to own this car, but it seems that now is not the right time to sell. From all of the people I've talked to, things are real tight. I'm sure one day this car will bring the right money. We'll have to wait & see.

Either way, judging by your sig thats an impressive car collection so whether or not this car goes, Im sure you won't mind holding onto it for a bit Like I stated in the other thread, when you get DH#13, you gotta post up some pics. Oh and I found this video for you although you've probably seen it already. Its just cool to watch as I drool ...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgIDIO4sXxI

Looks great. How wide are those rear wheels and tires and what is the offset?

The wheels are 17" x 9.5" American Racing 200S with 275/45ZR-17's. They fill the wheel wells up just right. The car also has Eibach 1.5" lowering springs from GMMG. It has a pretty mean stance.

What is the offset? I am asking this stuff because I agree that the stance is great and I want to replicate it. I feel like my 9.5 rears sit in the wheel well too deep. Mine are 18/9.5 on 275s...

Which Eibach springs? Pro-kit, I assume?

It is an Eibach Pro-Kit specifically built for GMMG and carries its own specific GMMG part number from Eibach.

On the American Racing 200S wheels on his Dale Earnhardt Camaro SS, I'm not sure what the offset is but on the ZL1's, we had the option of a Cragar S/S which is what I went withon mine. The offset on my 18X9 wheels is a +.30. These wheels have now been changed to a +.36 so they won't rub the fender lip.

Actually, I enjoy it every time I open the garage door! Keeping it clean is a little tougher. Believe me, it takes a huge amount of discipline not to hop in it and put the miles on her. I've been tempted many times, but I keep reminding myself that this was more of a long term investment than a Friday night cruiser. If I end up keeping her, however, I plan to take her to a few shows and enjoy an occasional sunny Sunday drive.

I'd have to check on the offset, I'm really not sure what it is. Your best bet is to here it straight from the horses mouth....Matt Murphy. You should email him and ask. You'll get the right info. Hope that helps.

I seen this car years ago when I worked for Kenworth delivering parts. It was at Reliable carriers awaiting shipment in Orlando. The guys told me it was #7 because they were all drooling over it when I got there. Beautiful car! Pics do no justice.

I've got to have that user name!!!! jk....seems like it was made for this car. I don't know if you should give me the user name or I should give you the car?

Thanks for the compliments on the car. You're right, the pics really don't do it justice. Sometimes I catch myself standing the the garage staring at it! I'm not sure when the car was in FL, but if you have the info., let me know. I'd love to ad it to the docs.

I'll save you the hassle and take the car!!! I have used this name since '97 so it would be hard to part with. I don't really know any particulars about the car but I did see it. It had somewhere in the teens on it for mileage and still smelled new. That has been at least 5 years ago. They even had either the actual #3 Corvette C5R or a show car there also parked right next to it and of course I had no camera. Pretty sure it was just a show car. Lots of toys were waiting to be shipped somewhere.
