lol considering how his name is "Victory_Red_SS" im gonna take a stab in the dark and say its an SS model
well no shit there are other models that use the SS badging (Impalas, Monte Carlos, Malibu) in addition to the Cobalt. Most of the pictures dont sow up on my computer so i couldn't tell what model he was dropping a LS2 in. Any way it is is a bad ass idea though, i cant wait to see the end result

mini update
I was at the shop the other day and we discovered something that no one has pointed out before. The new position of the front tires place them directly underneath the supports for the front fenders without enough clearance to allow for the car to 'drop' if lifting the wheels off of the ground, as well as when the front end squats at higher speeds on the race track.
There are aa couple of options that we are looking at, one of which is having a mold made of my stock front end and making a stock looking, one piece fiberglass front end. This not only solves the problem but will sure make it easier for me to work on the front section of the car. The cost is supposed to be fairly reasonable and I will retain the mold for future use.
In another development, we are looking at using the Wilson Manifold's Billet manifold for the LS2. It is a sweet piece and will withstand all of the boost we throw at it. I should have more info on both of these items when I get back from my course late next week.

Thanks Tom.
It may very well turn out that July is closer to the time to unveil the car than I want.
