yes it is a v8. i had all of the emblems on the car shaven off save for the pony. if you looked closely at the shot of the gas cap cover, it says "gt". the reason why i didn't have any engine shots was because i don't have any engine mods except for the k&n. all i have is headers, x-pipe, and a catback. no reason for showing the engine although i do have a handful of parts waiting to be installed. just don't have the time or money to do it at the moment. even though it isn't your thing, i do appreciate that you didn't straight bash on the car.
Yeah, I saw the gas cap door, but you never know. My brother in law is a good example of this. He has a 00 v6 and he added cobra rims, dual exhaust and even went as far as to add a GT rear bumper cover and hood scoop. Just looking at it you would swear that it was a GT with Cobra rims. Not so. It is still a sweet looking ride but it sucks to get reved on by a real GT, or even worse, a 3rd gen camaro and get beat. Anyways, even though its not my thing , I can still appreciate hard work and attention to detail.
if that was my brother, i'd set him straight really quick. what really irritates me is stang owners, especially v6 owners, that try to pass their car off as gts or cobras. like you said, someday they'll get called out and can't rise to the occassion.

I have to say in his defense, he wanted a GT but couldnt convince his dad to co-sign for one. But still, with him it was all for appearance anyways. He really doesnt care about performance as long as it looks good.

bigbadracer808 - Outstanding work on your ride .... it is definately different. An obvious show winning car. Is it a one off kit? I have not seen it before. I'll admit it is not my cup of tea but .. MAJOR PROPs for the work and the vision.

i also had the car lowered and the roads here in hawaii suck. there's potholes like every five feet so my ride's shot to hell. anyway, your firebird must look sweet and drive like a dream.
I dont even want to get started on the whole ricer debate. A cars a car and i think everyone should be able to design their own, and not worry about everyone bashing it. One thing i dont like are those people that put on an exhaust tip and an air filter then go out revving their engines and trying to race everyone. If those are the people your referring to then only bash those people. I used to own a 90 celica i put on a exhaust, body kit, spoiler, and hood scoop. It wasn't really fast but i loved the way it looked and I never once tried to race anyone. People would always rev their sh.. at me and most of those people were domestic drivers, and i was just minding my own business. Why is it when people design their cars just the way they want others have to go bashing the hell out of it. I think it all comes down to a jelousy issue. I have 97 gt convertible i the only thing i have done to it are different headlights cause basically i dont have any money this summer. Love your car and what are those braces at the bottom of your bumper i've seen them before but what are they? I hope i didnt piss anyone off in this forum just wanted to state my opinion.

bigbadracer80. nice car even though i honestly don't know if i like it or not. but i do know i like something different and your car is definitely a nice example of good body work, paint, and time. ifanyone goes bashin' it, it is because they don't know sh*t. btw, where did you get the taillights, they are kickin'

thanks matt. you're absolutely right. when i started this thread, i wasn't expecting everyone to be going head over heels for the car. i just wanted to see what everyone drives. if people are going to hate, that's fine. just don't be ignorant and start shooting fire out of their a$$es, you know. to answer your question, i took a set of euro-style taillights and modified them. here's how the original taillights looked.

That is the BEST looking stang I have ever seen!!! (94-98). What kind of kit is that, what size wheels, and how much did you lower it?
