Sorry I made you dry up. I was making a reference to the movie "Old School" where Frank the Tank refers to his Bandit era Trans Am as the "dragon."

Old School references aside, 'Dragon' is a totally appropriate name for that car, especially from those angles. Nice shots.

When I see that kind of trans am, I always think of Super Troopers: "He's so bulgy, he's like a moose!"

I was thinking "1/2" thick paint that's all over an old navy boat" was the name but you might be correct.
Nice pics.

Dragon, More like Chicken ... Nacht! Nice Car, the only thing to make it look more like a stealth fighter is to give lit fake extra panel lines but that would be lame.

SCREAMING CHICKEN!!!
Sharp car, I loathe "modern" GM products except 3. That body of Firebird is one of the 3.
Monaro and C5s are the other two.
If you knew what you were doing, I wouldn't be here.

Killer looking T/A. I've never been a huge fan of the LS1 T/A front sheet metal (okay, plastic)--I always liked the nose of the LT1 car better--but it really works in that color. The name does indeed fit, and the wheels look like CCW Classics, btw.

CCW Classics. 18x9.5 up front and 18x11 in the rear. CCW threw me a great deal on tires when I picked up the wheels so I got RS-2s for dirt cheap but the fronts are a little stretched 265/35/18 in the front and 315/30/18 in the rear. If you ever visit the GRM HQ, CCW is right across the street, nothing like getting a tour of a wheel factory by a guy on roller skates!

Too funny, I was at Gators that night... you can see my Z in the background of the first shot. I should have walked over to get a closer look at your car.

Don't forget the oil streaks, chipped paint, and ancient interior!
Actually that era GM product probably has all of those...very military.
The hot wife thread is my to-do list.

Minus the chipped paint you can check off the other two lol. Although half of the GM interior is deleted. I just need a mess hall and a bunch of seamen
LOLmadeatdark - haha I saw both of those Zs over there, girlfriend said "hey both colors of those Zs combine would probably make your color!"
