[SVTRacer]

So dad and i decided to take a break from the 3L for an evening and go to the local cruise night.

dad and i

my buddy's sky

small turbo

19s

and somehow i did not know that the suspension was a little bit "better" than a normal stock setup...

old times...it still smelled like canvas!

[SVTRacer]

[BAD SVT]

hmmm... the syclone. fast and rare. just the way i like my cars.

 

[svt490]

syclone=awesome! I've wanted one of those since they first came out.

 

[ancientsanskrit]

I'll voice what others have said in regards to the Syclone. Those were awesome trucks, both the Syclones and Typhoons; I haven't seen one in years.

 

[contour2gq]

Is that a CTS-V? I want one of those! and the syclone OMFG! That was like hte best GM truck ever. Running 11's out the box! Of course they didnt advertise it cause it would have sold more than the vette.

QUOTE]Unless the build sticker says FE3 for suspension, the suspension is "normal" All kappa platform cars come with Bilstien coil overs shocks. The car does not look lowered.

It's stock, but unless im retarded or something, i havent seen a STOCK car with coilover shocks. the CTS-V doesnt even have that...

(maybe THIS time i just happened to look over and see yellow and notice it was a little bit cooler than normal...:crazy

I have an 08 Solstice and it has coil over Bilstiens. You are not retarded, there are just a lot of cars out there to look at. By the way nice photos.

That thirdgens sweet! Any more pics or specs on it? Looks to be L98 350TPI but could be a 305 but the lack of t-tops is making me think 350... Does it have the G92 code posi-trac rear???

i figured i'd use the same thread for another show.(why not right?)

this past weekend, we needed an engine hoist and stand, but we didnt have one(was working on borrowing one). So Dad and I took the day off and went to a car show in Newark,DE. It was at the VA Hospital for Veterans. LOTS of cars and it was a nice drive up.

All pics can be found here: http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z251/DE_CSVT/VA%20Hospital%20Show/?start=all
PICS: (forgive me for breaking them up, dumb 10-pic limit)

following dad to the friend's house for meet-up.

at the friend's house just chit-chat'n for a bit.

on the road with the group. It was my friend in the red 4th gen, his dad in the valiant, and their friend in the righ-hand drive Morris(very rare in the US) and me and dad in the back.

we finally got there. set up and i left to go get pics!

got them from another LS-based motor. it comes in a two-door model...look around on the cadillac forums, its really big over there. You'll just have to grind some letters off them and cut portions of the bottom off(where it is silver) so they can fit to the LS6
