What's a good CD for a car? I saw this ad and nearly died. I can't believe I found an ad on my car like this!

Wow is CD .32 really THAT good, or just for the time? I know the 3rd generation Trans Am is very aerodynamic (only production-based car to go over 300 mph, driven by Jeff Krugel), just wondering, wow this so cool.

That's not an unheard of coefficient of drag.

G35 coupe is .29
c6 corvette is .28
Insight is 0.25

Dude, when you ride into places with lots of people, just turn up the Knightrider theme really loud. They will expect David Hasselhoff to walk right out of the door.

[url]www.markscustomkits.com[/url] is a good site too.

I personally find these the slickest of the third gens:

My black one should look like this when I'm done (it did look like this when it was new):

I actually took a visit to Marks Custom Kits. I actually got to sit in an acutal screen used KITT! Think about it: Sitting in the same seat David Hasselhoff sat in.... course it would be nice if I had some of his girlfriends in there as well.

That 80's (or is it 70's?) Trans Am looks sweet!

KITT is an 82 Trans Am.

I might have a trans am, if I can convince my brother to sell it to me.

It's somewhat of a rare trans am apparently, because the rear end is different somehow.

I'll ask.
