This Friday, the calipers go on, stainless brake lines and fluid are also being put in. I may be able to get started on my bushings and lighting mods also. We'll see.
I have a question to ask you about your lights. I think I know the answer but I want to make sure so that we have everything before Friday.

I'll message you in a little I am about to head into town real quick.

Glad you had a nice trip, I can't wait to see the newly aligned bumper.

So a thought crossed my mind on Friday when I was staring out looking at the plane that was going to take me from Sacramento to LA to pick up my car. I was going to make a statement on a popular social media site that my chariot had arrived to take me to pick up my vehicle, but then that would mean that my camaro isn't a chariot. What would my camaro be then? After thinking about the feeling of being inside the car, the interior looks not unlike the ****pit of a fighter jet, especially with a few of the mods that have yet to be installed. Fighter jets normally have a moniker of their classification and an official and unofficial nickname.

SR-71 Blackbird
F-14 Tomcat
F-15 Eagle
B-2 Spirit

I've decided that I'd like to give a moniker to the Rush and make emblems for the car. The problem is I can't come up with one that I like.

One option is SCZ-650.
SC (SuperCharged)
Z (track spec)
650 (flywheel horsepower since Hennessey/Lingenfelter/insert-company-name-here advertise flywheel horsepower instead of actual power to the wheels)

The other option that I was trying to build around was the YF classification. The military uses Y for prototype and F for Fighter, but the number is where I'm drawing a blank. I could use horsepower, or 376, even 62 for the engine size.

I've been tossing around ideas, just trying to come up with a few that sound and flow "right" to me. Anyone mind tossing their ideas into the hat?

Ask and you shall receive. The bumper and fenders have holograms, so the car needs to be detailed, but here's a shot from far away.
