I love the color of that car. Yes IMO it is a sleeper. Last but not least I think the damn smoke ever one is talking is because the hadn't been started long and it was cold out side. Didn't anyone see the he had a coat on when he was getting in.
i was thinking the same thing

^hmmm canadian car maybe?? the JDM cluster only has KPH on it and has white face gauges, actually that guy is from PEI, my home provence, and i have actually driven behind the car his name is Mark, the reason that it "smoked" was cause it was actually steam, if you look at the grass it is brown, and there when there is no snow, but winter time the grass turn brown... i tried to leave a post in the comments section there but it kept saying that there was an error. the guy had the steelies on cause... once again winter, and the roads there are terrible as is.

I am actually suprised that he was able to get the car that fast there, most roads would end before you can even get close to that speed. and also judging the light outside he probably did that between the hours of 4 and 7 am cause there are no cops on the road then

Not a sleeper in my book, that wing and yes I said wing(a wing is an object on the rear of the car that starts on one end of the truck, pokes up into the air all the way through the middle of the trunk lid making contact on the other side.) That is not stock on that car, a spoiler is something like



or



The corners are removed in a lame attempt to get colder air into the engine compartment or were broke and he has not bought new ones. The exhaust and wing are dead give aways for me, maybe not others but for me it shows that the person that owns it shows some intrest in modding cars.

tell me that isnt your firebird with those awful muffler tips...

anyways...the wing is a bit of a giveaway...it looks to me like a stock 2g DSM wing...

also, i dont see smoke..i see steam...he has a jacket on, so i would assume that it is cold out, and most cars are prone to screate some steam when its cold out...watch how quickly is goes away...smoke would linger longer than that...and typically if a car smokes at idle, its going to smoke worse under strain, and it doesnt seem to get worse when he drives away..

also, how fast is 180 kmh?
