supertrick_05 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I fuckin LOVE that hood! I think it would look better on an '89-93 B4U car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I agree that the 88-96 grand prix coupes still look "modern" today. OMG the hood was functional able to smoke the tires from a 40 mph roll I wonder what ever happened to this beast of a gp? I want to make a clone of one. That would be bad ass.

ss427 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Love that hood! I wonder if the GM designers created the shape themselves or used a design from something out there already.. I wish there was a picture showing the duct work underneath. It was done here so it could be definitely be recreated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 If you look at the top of the air box there is a triangular cut out, that looks like when the hood is down it feeds it cool air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhatTheFehl Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I love everything about that car except the wing Is it a bit smaller than a normal GP wing? I didn't notice that when I first looked at it. So yeah, I want to clone it... but keep my current spoiler... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpchris Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 AHHH!! Its put on a 2g unibody! WTF! Thats awesome! Whoa just realized something. Look at the engine bay picture. It has the newer windshield wipers. You can clearly see they go up above the black window trim but in the picture of the car you see no wipers but you can see the black window trim... Hmm I think that engine pic is from a different car.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscar_wilde Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I am interested in the air-to-water inter-cooler set up. I wonder how they set it up and where they put a water tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octavarium454 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I'm gonna buck the trend here and say it is the same car. They put a Gen 1 body on a Gen II carriage and maybe the just took the wipers off because it was a nice day and GM just does stupid shit like that for no good reason. On a side note, I WANT IT!
