Default ***Got my new Plates****

Just got my new tags in the mail yesterday, my wife says they fit me well as I am an Instigator and like to mess with people. I figured this will get some people hot under the collar! But it is all in good fun!

I got 600rwhp to hopefully back it up, but there is always someone out there that will be faster. I guess the plate was ment for Mustangs, Challengers, and foreign guys.

That was exactly my tag when I had my 97 a few years ago.

Changed it when I had way too many road challenges that I was not willing to take on.

Cool plates Brian!

Now every neon colored ricer will be reving their fart cans around you.

I love that you have that much HP in stealth mode! Usually it's packed under a high rise hood or some other give away.

People think my car is stock or close to it. At idle the Novi is so quiet that you can hear a slight whine of the blower. I have a small blower cam 220/228 580s on a 116. I like the stealth mode as people have no idea what I'm packing. I am getting a retune by Doug (ECS) next weekend and hopefully he can find some more power for me.

Disclaimer: Not being a hater here and to each his own. I'm glad you like it. Sounds like you have a very nice car. Since you posted on this public forum, I will post my own opinion. Hope you don't take my opinion too harshly.

For some reason, plates like this annoy me. Even when the car is sick and has the power to back it up. There is no need to throw out blatant challenges like this IMO. Every Vette show I go to there are 50 cars with plates similar to this. Obviously there are a lot of people who do like plates like this. IMO, WAY overdone. If one truly has the power and ability, why the need to flaunt it? Anyhow, that's my opinion.

Hope you don't step up to every street challenge you will undoubtedly face by running these plates.
