Holy hell. I think I've seen you post maybe a handful of times over the years! Welcome back, I love the car!!! My only complaint is the spoiler is not for me at all.

I am in love with this!! Hood scoop gives it a nice touch I think and is blended in really well for a nice contrast. the wing is maybe a tad large but I think it still gives it "tough" yet well rounded look when paired with the hood. Hope the wife gets better!

It's a great colour, it's in superb shape, and it's certainly unique. Can't argue with that!

So much bling. So little discression. I mean, props on at least not having a several taped on accessories, but im just... Not digging it. Too many stickers, too much... Stuff going on. All a matter of taste i suppose.

Car looks clean though. I love the 92-95s.

That's cool man. I want to put a wing like that on mine but maybe tad bit smaller. Is that CAI custom made if not where can I order one?

Well....I wanted to make it look different than everyone elses car. Wanted to make t a crossove between old school and new school. I've shown it all over western New York and have won 54 awards with it. But i like peoples reactions when they see it. Most can't get over it. Old schoolers scoff at it until i light em up.

Engine work includes bored 0.60 over. Ported and polished heads with grand national valves. match ported intake. 1.72 rockers. hyperutectic pistons with moly coated skirts and ceramic coated tops. ported exhauust manifolds with ceramichrome coating in and out. reworked supercarger. 100 shot nitrous NOS direct port system with time based controler. custom made CAI. Many chromed engine parts. MSD coils. Accel Wires. 1996 reworked 4T60E-HD 3.69 ratio.

In the works - if wife stays healthy...otherwise - back in the garage
Custom sheet metal intake manifold in design with innercooler and two stage nitrous setup. Crow cams - Cam comming from Australlia this summer.

Holy cow at that engine bay! Can't say I've seen many 92-99s that are boosted and on the juice. How much power does that thing put to the ground???

Welcome Back! I digg it. The stickers on the side and wing are a tad much IMO, but I can still dig it. The hood oddly doesn't too look out of place to me. Either way, as others mentioned, she's still a really clean example from the '90s generation!

54 awards! *dang*... I cant get a single one.

Any power numbers? Sounds like a pretty wild build. If you go down the sheetmetal fogger manifold road, i would highly suggest switching to at least an m90 blower.
