I havent seen this in years. This is me and my GTO taken the night of my junior prom so long ago.



So...who wants to buy it? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

thanks https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



If anyone was curious about the GTO;



400BB with Edelbrock intake and holley 750 "bling edition"

Ram Air IV replica cam

Accel ignition

Heads ported, polished, three angle valve job, seals hardened for unleaded fuel

3" small tube headers to full 3" dual exhaust



All that going through a muncie 3 speed to a 3.07 open diff. Can you say, "burnout?" https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif



The car also has no power options or AC, and also has 4 wheel DRUM brakes and theres about a half foot of play in the steering.



Yet I still autocrossed it... :redface: https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

I bet it has a little more body roll than your TII.

Geoffman72 10-09-2002 12:04 PM

A bit. Plus when I did autocross it, I always would end up doing a burnout from one corner to the next. It was great fun for the crowds though https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Torque...what the hell is that? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Geoffman72 10-09-2002 12:22 PM

Vaporized rubber = Torque



Good times = Horsepower



Why did I buy the RX-7 again? :bigthumg:

phinsup 10-09-2002 12:35 PM

Cause you don't have a mullett?

Geoffman72 10-09-2002 12:46 PM

lol



I always did want to go nuts with this car though.



EFI conversion, run it around 600-700hp

6 speed, 4.11 torsen in the rear

B-body spindles to allow for big brakes and a nice suspension drop

tubular a arms, coilovers

quick ratio steering box to ditch the old 10 turn lock to lock beast https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

toss on some 255/40/17s on some tasteful rims, throw a fresh coat of paint on and be all set.



I really wanted to have a muscle car that could go 200mph at the salt flats and also be able to be a nice road course car. Handling is possible, some domestic mag actually got some POS mid 70s granada to pull 1g on the skidpad without TOO much effort https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png
