He's got the license plate that self-identifies him as a knuckle-dragging mouth-breather.

For the record, I still like the flag and the historical symbol. It's also a better-looking tag than most in this state. The modern symbolism, though, kind of sucks.
If it weren't for the fact that the powerplant is LS-based, the "427" with the snake would actually be pretty cool. |

I've also met a couple of people who have it specifically to take it back from the TP. |

I was paging through that build and saw this counsel for the E39. I so want this. Is it custom or euro?

Why couldn't they save the ABS? Seems like a big thing to ignore.

And Blair has a point. A new Camaro is a dynamically better platform for these noises. OTOH, I'd much rather do a Costco run or take the kids on a trip to grandma's in the E39 wagon. For the daily commute grind, I wouldn't mind switching it up every day or two. So, the answer is clear. This and a Camaro.

At the end of the day, this is a neat build and a great project but it's still someone else's work on a 15 year old car. It's going to be rough in places (not least the lack of ABS). Every one of us should buy an SS while we still can. |
