*shrug*

EDIT: what happens to the cars GM builds like the SC/T's.....Are they ever auctioned off or anything like that? Do they just Crush them? that would suck....I'm not asking about prototypes...but more of the hopped-up versions like the fleet of SC/T's.....They are relativly stock cars.....I can't imagine they just get thrown in the trash after a few years....Only thing really different in them is a GM blower and tranny....maybe a couple interior parts and stuff.....

They are all non-saleable scrap vehicles that at some point become very, very short.

That is a damn shame. So will I be able to get a black 30th before March? I know I can't get an orange one before that......but I thought I sould be able to find a black one now....

Oh! What is up with the XM antenna? I hate that thing can I take it off or is it drilled into the roof? Can I get a 30 th w/o XM at all??

ArcticGT · 01-30-2003, 10:38 AM

I've seen the 30th anny orange ga in the tech center, its alright, I perfer my white still!

Natedog · 01-30-2003, 10:57 AM

If u get a 30th, you have to get XM!.. which sux cause i never listen to the radio much anyway.. i was gonna order a 30th but didnt wanna pay 26k so i jus ordered a black 03 sedan with sct appearance pkg, loaded w/o leather and XM for 23700.. im goin right to the mods when this baby comes in

PACE · 01-30-2003, 11:05 AM

Is the XM drilled through the roof? I just don't want that antenna on the roof...or a hole for that matter.

Well, the wires have to go through somewhere so I think it's a given that there's a hole. If you're lucky the hole might be right against the windshield and might be easy to plug with a rubber plug or something and not show too much. My guess is that it's going right through the roof though and that there's no easy way to take it off without something showing or expensive body work.

You could always take it off and put a blue LED instead, the ricers'll get jealous

PACE · 01-30-2003, 11:30 AM

That really ****es me off! I don't want some damn shark fit on my roof!!! Do all of you agree that it looks gay? Or is it just me?

yeah, it certainly looks awful where gm placed it. I don't understand how GM can place the XM antenna on the rear-center of the roof of the impala and monte carlo but place it on the grand am on the front-center of the roof. It's just ridiculous. Unless it's because of the sunroof. The sunroof does go over the roof of the car so maybe part of the glass would interfere with the antenna. But I don't think that would be a problem. I have seen the sunroof fully open and it does not come that close the the back of the roof. I just don't get it.

Tomorrow! I will try to remeber to find out for you so everyone will stop loosing sleep. I agree it looks less than wonderful, but I know there was a reason, just can not remember what is is right now.

Yes

Too bad you missed out...a lot of "top secret" stuff discussed, hehe. I have more pics of that and the orange SC/T...that 30th had the SC in it too.

Pics

PACE · 02-06-2003, 09:34 AM

HEY! If you read my most recent post in the "found this on another site" thread...my friend said he saw a NEW GA, black, with 5-spoke wheels at a dealership near him. Maybe some are coming with Eagle 077's!!??

EDIT: I emailed my buddy to see if he goes by that dealer on a regualr basis, if so to get a digital pic of the car.
