Go Team LLT!

Alright, so the C5 Forums have this thing going on where the V8's seperate themselves into Team LS3, and Team L99. A couple of the V6 guys said, "Hey, let's be Team LLT!"

With the new LFX V6 engine just around the corner, everyone agrees that there should be a Team LLT. Especially with our very own member HDRS, being the first to run the quarter mile in 11.961 SECONDS!

Everyone has been changing up their signatures on the forums, plastering "Team LLT" across their designs. I thought to myself, "Hey! I'm proud of having an LLT too! Why not show it by wearing clothes that represent that!" (I'm such a nerd)

Version 1

Version 2

I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to be wearing this when I go to car meets, LOL. I think I like Version 1 better, but let me know what you guys think!

As you can see, I've gone ahead and made a concept for the women too. You are welcome ladies ;). Notice the design decisions I have made for the women. I placed the "Spades V6" on the back of the shirt across the bottom. Why? People read shirts, doesn't matter what it says, it's human nature. This leads the eye straight to the hips... Nice eh? ;)

Go Team LLT! =D

The Camaro V6, in a nutshell.

Ah, the LLT, a 3.6L, Direct Injected, DOHC with VVT. A wonderful engine. Actually I have the utmost respect when it comes to engines. Every part has their part to play, and every part is developed through hours and hours of sweat and blood. Cheers to those hard workers. Click on the image to get the full scope of the engine... I just love it, and I think I would like to make that into a poster.

Anyway, lets take a moment to really appreciate all the nuts and bolts that make our V6 power machines.

 

Camaro Decal Store Coupon Code

I've been doing business with Reggie from the Camaro Decal Store for a while now. Started with just purchasing stuff from him on eBay, and I realized that he was an excellent salesman. After doing more business with him, I realized, I really want to work with this guy. =D

So starting today, Camaro Decal Store is giving a brand new discount in the name of Spades V6. I've noticed an increasing number of people who frequently stop by, read, and comment on the blog. To show my appreciation for Reggie and your support, I have formed a solution that I think will sweeten the collective pot.

From now on, if you shop at Camaro Decal Store, enter the coupon code: spadesv6camaro for an awesome 12% discount on all items!

Don't say I've never done anything for you guys out of the kindness of my heart LOL. I get no commission for any of this. =)

Oh and by the way, please join the Spades V6 facebook page for instant updates on mods, reviews, videos, and anything else.

Happy spending you guys!

Tuned In

Okay guys and gals, I just tuned the car. I need to work on the tune a bit more before I can give the full review. My first impressions though? I can feel the differences right away. Felt like my car lost 500 lbs off the line. Doesn't feel as heavy as it did stock, and that's a good thing.

The tune was also incredibly easy to load. Plug and play, 10 minutes, and your car is completely different. I'm not trying to up-sell the tune by exaggerating. Here's an example of what I mean. You know, there is always this stereotypical dirty/shaggy guy in highschool. Doesn't look like he showers, or shaves, or cuts his hair, or washes his clothes? Then, on prom night, he makes an effort: cuts and gels his hair, suits up, neat, clean, and sharp. Then you are like... "what the f*@K?". Then girls all start to notice him, etc. You see, he's the same guy, just presented differently... enough to 'wow' you.

Yeah, it's like that. But the Camaro was a handsome devil to start with, then it had that prom makeover... Can you see where I'm going with this?

Eitherway, no review today... just first impressions =D

Spades V6 Intro v1

 

Well, work has been slow, and I miss modding my car, so to keep myself being productive, I've decided to play around with planar tracking and other visual effects. As you can see with my other videos, I love taking the time to edit them, making them a bit nicer to watch.

This is just a concept intro scene for future videos. I'll most likely be working on making it better over time, so just call this concept version 1.
