Definitely an LS, but the spoiler and "high sport" ground effects are a bit misleading, not to mention the spoiler. . . . overall i'd say it's a pretty good lookin ls

Looks cool, I had one of those rear spoilers last year for sale on here, but nobody bought it. I really like them. It looks like they would have started all that with an SS model and leather interior. Fix what you got I guess.

As much as I like Dale Earnhardt, I have to say that car is over done. Many people have a tendency to want to stick as much Dale stuff all over their car as possible, and call it a tribute.
How I would probably re-do that car:
The portrait on the doors would've been better on the hood along with the dates 1951-2001. Removing the portrait from the doors and the dates from the wheel wells. (yes, I know the portraits are air brushed)
Remove the large signatures from the rear quarter panels and put one large signature on the trunk lid in place of the large "Intimidator 3".
Get an "Intimidator" windshield banner. And leave just the 3's on the sides of the car.
I know the portraits are air brushed. It's a nice touch, and I like the portrait. As I already mentioned above, I think it belongs on the hood.
But that's that car.
Personally, I think Brittany has done a much better job at making a Dale Earnhardt Intimidator tribute Monte. Forget the obvious engine difference for a second. Just judging by the look of both cars, I would take Brittany's car over that car in a heartbeat. Brittany's car is a much nicer looking car.
