I'm thinking going with the 1st Gen too... there's just too much fun to be had with it.
They are a fun car with endless possibilities as guys like DirectFreak and Setzep show you can so anything to them.

GSL-SE's are getting hard to find even in decent shape, I'd say get it and nos it the 3mm 2 piece seals can take alot of abuse. My first car was a 84 GSL-SE it had 205,000 miles on it and i raced it hard constantly, it saw 8 grand all the time, in fact I know the guy that owns it now with 220,000 and it still runs!





Code:
I'm a FB kinda guy myself.The FC's look good but too boxy for me.


Couldn't agree more....

Well, i wouldnt NOS it, because im personally against NOS. But thats just me. I'd like to work the engine with no power assisting at all. I wanna strive for a 250hp NA 13b, but i dont see it happening and still being streetable

Sure why not, just do a heavy street port and put a nice exhaust and intake on it. I only suggest the nos because the engine could handle it all day long, plus i know of a stock 86 with a 75 shot that runs 13.4's; that's not shabby at all, either way good luck and post pics.



Torque??? who needs it, I'd rather have HP, just do a big port :smirk:
