  1. I say bring it up to Alaska and sell it, these things don't last on Craigslist for more than a couple of days, if that even! But for where you are, I would agree with these guys and say Carmax, i've heard nothing but good things from those guys and like everyone said, trying to sell something semi-decent is a pain now-a-days.

     

    Don't I know it... :crackup:

     

     

    For the condition you described...go on take the money and run!!!

  2. Honestly Danny, its exactly the help I was looking for. Tony is a great guy who is a big help in suggesting suspension mods, he just happens to sell it too. Hence the reason for such knowledge.

     

    Thanks again Tony! I will post pictures of the drop when I get it installed, hopefully the week of October 8th.

     

    I am hanging on this thread for pics as I am looking to do a 2/3 or 3/4 on my '11 SD.

  3. Had mine lowered 3" in the back using only shackles on stock shocks and towed a 4200lb trailer with a 420lb hitch weight. I had no problems whatsoever. I did find that the rated hitch weight and the payload capacity were reduced but did not effect overall performance. Hell, I even carried a 1.5 ton load of rocks in the back and never once bottomed out.

  4. I'm partial to the "Supersonic Blue Metallic" available on the 2011 Z06's. Looks good on the Vette, not so sure about how it would look on the Bel Air though. Another GM paint color I really like is the "Sonoma Red Metallic" found on the 2009 GMC lineup.

  5. My preference is to drop it first...having a tough time selling that to the wife though. She HATED driving the SS after I dropped it. So, I am thinking I will use the thought of dropping it as a way to soften her on the other mods, do the exhaust and tonneau (tonneau is must and is just a matter of time) then come back to the drop.

     

    Appreciate the feedback! :cheers:

  6. As the title reads...Since getting the SD in July I've had all sorts of crazy ideas. I've been able to narrow down my first set of mods to "practical" and "boy, that'd be nice."

     

    Already done:

    Ordered the AutoCal

    Installed 2-way remote starter

    Can't decide which to do next:

    Help me decide which to do next:

    DJM 2"/3" (Control arm version)

    Leer 800 electric Tonneau

    Corsa Sport

    Future "back burner"

    Cam replacement

     

     

    Thoughts?

  7. I had one of those for a while. It was a blast to drive. For the little 4 banger it had, I could roast up 1st & 2nd and it handled like it was on rails. It was my hold-over for the camaro...then kids came. Solstice had to go and no camaro. Top it off the SS went in favor of a "crew cab." Thanks to Matt and Jason, every time I get in the SD now all I think is "the crew cab" in that low, disappointing voice.
