Ihawk,
I can sum it up real fast.

Great build, but i would appreciate it more if the builder was less.....(insert any of your own opinions)
As such, i really don't care.

The car show starts tomorrow at about 8:00am.  I hope to see some of you out there.  John, GM Tech will be out there with his incredible Saturn Sky.  I do not know if it fair to still call his car a Sky.  It thinks it is a Cadillac. He has replaced both the ECM, and the BCM, and got them to work with a Corvette instrument cluster.  The level of detail in this car is incredible.  If you come out you will also get a chance to meet John, and find out what an incredibly nice guy he is, in person.  You all know what he is like on the forums.   
P.S.  My coupe now has a Norm's front end, and fenders.  It will be there too.   
Coupe 993 5mt. GMPP CAI, GMPP tune+ HPT, 3 inch catless ext. Dejon cooler and Piping, AME water meth, Garrett Manifold, EFR 6758, Werks springs, 2010 lifters, 5th injector,E43, CCW Werks rims285 front-305 rear PScup's. Zok cross member, sway bars, back bone, LVFB. 407 WHP.

Thanks for the new pics. I think the cut out just doesn't photograph well. Visually it's throwing me off.

Everything else looks incredible though. For those of us on the East Coast I think we need a video w/sound :)

I think what Kelu means is since his car is in Romania and he is in Belgium he doesn't get to drive it very often.

I understand that! I thought he had an Opel and not a Sky! How can he drive a Sky more if he doesn't own one!?! They are mainly Opels in Europe. GJ can con any Sky owner into letting him drive one!

I've driven more Sky's than Kelu. I've also driven more Solsti than Kelu. And My Kia Soul is faster in the quarter mile than Kelu.
Finally, and this is all I'm going to say on the subject:

Mmmmmmmmmmm.....

Gmtech had a great looking car, liver the fact, he has a pc car radio with hptuners installed on board. Nice clean lines, looks professionally done.

 I agree about Elffs comments on the forums and that GMTech is not very helpful when he speaks against the person is trying to learn

No. He isn't on meds. He's just getting "stoned" at the moment.

I'm sure.  Looks like he knows how to better moderate the big boards also.  I see there is a little popcorn action going on over on SF.  SSDD...critizing a supporting vendor, negative comments with regards to forum members, etc. etc.  One of the mods deleted some posts, he got all bent and created another "I'm leaving thread", but yet is still posting.

When this happens on at least 3 different forums (Cobalt, SF and here), it might be time to evaluate what you are posting and edit before you hit the post button.  I'd tell the guy, but I would be wrong and not contributing anything of value to the thread.  Wait, I've already done that and stated it almost exactly how the mod stated it, and it was ignored.

The record isn't playing anymore because it is broken!!!!  wow...

Well summarized.  Too bad he decided to pick on the wrong moderator (not the one that deleted his messages)!
