How much horspower? About tree fiddy.

So work has slowed to a crawl on the Camaro. I have gotten to the point where I need to get my air compressor lines ran in the garage. Once that is completed I can start getting the body prepped for paint.

Meanwhile; My daily driver SAAB 9000 was totaled on July 4th, and will be missed. I has now been replaced with a 2004 Pontiac GTO. I tried to find one in the more rare Cosmos Purple color but unfortunately every one that I found was either too far away or they wanted too much for it. However I was able to find a very clean Torrid Red example with only 39k miles on it. As usual though it wasn't exactly in my back yard, my wife and I made a day trip up to Cincinnati to pick it up. After about 3 months with the car I can say I am very happy with the purchase. The only additions I have added, is a Pioneer GPS head unit with Sirius Sat radio, USB and Aux inputs to make the 50 mile drive to work a little more enjoyable and also the ability to plug in the portable DVD player in for long trips. I don't have any other upgrades planned for now, the previous owner had a center gauge pod with vacuum and oil pressure gauges installed in addition to the upgraded exhaust, which sounds completely bad ass I might say.

Time for pictures of the new ride.
