After almost 6 years owning this car, I finally got around to putting it into a car show. It was a pretty small show with about 40 or so cars, mostly Corvettes. It was put on by the local 'Coastal Carolina Corvette Club' so that makes sense.
I participated in an open class from 1990-2009 of which there was 3 cars total. :rolleyes: There was my 98, a 2001 Camaro SS with 14k miles that was showroom clean, and a late arriver 1996 Camaro that was drag-ready, parachute and all. I won first place out of us three (i know, big deal! but it was my first show) and I'm pretty happy. First time I've taken pictures of it in quite a while too...

Well, unless you count supercharger....:p
I've still got more plans for it. As soon as Brad gets the 03 Cobra wheels in, I'll have a set of those on it. I've also got a set of Kooks headers that have been sitting in the garage for the last 2 years. Hopefully, I'll have some Addco bars to go in there around the same time those go in. Sometime after that, I'll find a cobra intake to put on it along with some cobra brakes. And then MAYBE in the distant future, I'll have the dough to supercharge it. :headbang:

Laser--Yeah, that W7 pounds! I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but it's in a pretty big slot-vent box and that JL 1000/1 amp is perfect for it. My First Mark VIII had 2 12W7's in it, but they were in the smallest sealed box they could make for them (1.5 cubic feet for each sub). I had 2 JL 1000/1's in that car and I still don't think they were as loud as this one is, because of the box. This W7 that I have now was actually bought with the intention of installing it in my first Mark, for a total of 3 W7's with 1000 watts to each one in a custom trunk install, but my stereo system was stolen and then the car got totalled shortly after that. :(

Oh well, I'm happy with what I've got now. :)

Thanks for the good words, guys!
 
I had 2 W7 10's back in 1999 or 2000 when they first came out.I had two DEI 1100 amps that were slave driven to put out 2500 watts.I called JL audio and had them spec me out a ported box for my old camaro.Those speakers amazed me and alot of people.I had atleast 20 trophies from sound competetions.Before that i had 3 W3 10's in a JL power wedge box that was close to the W7's.Good old days.

O yea nice car.Do you have any pics of the two camaros?
 
I don't think I do. I guess I probably should have, but I really only took pictures of the cars that interested me the most. I would've taken pictures of the drag camaro, but it showed up so late, I had already put the camera away and didn't even think about it. Sorry.
 
There was a guy with an 01 Cobra Mustang that came up to me to talk and he says something like, "Hey, your car's got the same engine as the Cobra's!" I came back with something like, "Actually, your car's got the same engine as the Mark VIII's!" lol. I wasn't an A-hole about it, and told him some of the history of Mark VIII's and the engines and production numbers and stuff. He found it all really interesting. He had never known anything about Mark VIII's and thought it was really cool that the Mark VIII had the 32-valve engine 3 years before the Cobra did.
 
Yeah, I have installed a ton of W7s and if someone wanted a sealed box I would always move them away from the W7 to a W6 or Boston sub. The W7s are just too quiet in a sealed box. I have built quite a few slot loaded boxes like that though and made some impressivly loud systems.

Ported box = JL W7, none better
Sealed box = Boston G5

Yeah, at the time, I was doing LOTS of driving in that car, so I wanted access to the spare tire, which means I needed the smallest box possible. I put 8000 miles on that car in the first month I owned it(had the stereo installed within 1 week of buying it :D ). I had that car exactly a year (to the day), was only able to drive it for 9 months of that time (due to being out to sea, in the Navy), and still managed to put over 30k miles on that car. I really needed to be able to get to that spare tire.
 
I hear that. My Mark is my only car so I needed the trunk. I went with a Boston G5 in a .5 cubic foot box and put it where the stock CD changer was. Not a ground pounder but more then enough bass to over power the components.
