Yes, it's a sweet car. 2900lbs and with the GMPP tune turns 300 hp and 350 lbs torque at the flywheel. Highest specific output of any GM product at the time. Plus On trips to Salt Lake and L.A. I averaged 33 mpg. Just sold it to an ex gf.

There's a guy at our local meet with a Solstice with an LS2 shoehorned into it. I guess it's the contemporary version of the V8 Vega. Looks pretty slick...

LS2! Wow that is awesome.

I've got the Sky's little brother. Same block, but with the supercharger instead of the turbo. Dynoed 260/240 with the GMPP Stage 2. It's a fun daily driver.

Nice garages guys!

HGTV had a 'Top 10' 'Garages' episode with some video runthroughs of some nice garages around North America.

Topical, since one of the pundits in the episode describing the designs is none other than Viper boss Ralph Gilles. He is not bad actually at describing garage designs, not surprising since his former day job was car designs.

Here is the link for the video episode online (for Canadian viewing anyway, US might have its own on HGTV.com link instead of HGTV.ca):

VERY carefully lmao. I have 13' ceilings in there so height wasnt my issue. but there's llots of depth, length and width measuring involved. I thought for sure I'd have to do garage door mods to either mount a side motor on the wall and pull the door up higher than the tradional one in the center of the ceiling or perhaps make a move to carriage house doors so that they swing out (you can purchase these electronically operated) But ultimated I was able to angle the lift in between the rails on my ceiling so width wise I was safe. The length was an issue. On a traditional garage door motor there's a setting screw on the side that can be changed by using a screw driver so the door doesnt open all the way (and therefore doesnt open up into your car) with a few turns on that dial I got out of door mods rather easily. Its a one horsepower motor requires fluid annually and I just got my first annual 50 point inspection. Quality lifts are ALI certified which appear to be teh highest safety engineering standards out there. I upgraded the traditional loading ramps (30") to the extended length loading ramps(50") which results in less clutch wear and avoids front scrapes when loading. I bought a twenty dollar "park perfect every time" adhesive mat for the rails of the lift so when you drive onb you stop exactly where u want/need to given your measurements. Comes in handy when your measurements are all within a couple of inches of coming into contact with a door wall, etc.

The local speed shop closed and I purchased his Neon sign from the front window. So I took the time to hang my "Christmas tree" Neon sign, and arrange some of my other pictures and lighted signs. It was after looking at these pictures I realized I will now be spending tomorrow cleaning the garage!

Nothing special, but I'm still working on my attached 3-car:

The Viper normally lives on the single car side, but when I'm working on it, I use the two car side and kick the car and truck to the curb...well, at least until I'm done.

I'm done with the work bench area; more lighting and slat wall are on the to-do list for this year. I'll eventually do some Race Deck flooring since the epoxy is pulling up in quite a few places (it was done before we bought the house). I just want a place for everything, and everything in its place.
