not THAT impressive, my goat is putting out 350 :twisted:

 

Sorry, had to.

 

Yeah well, it'll be decent for an 18-year old W-body sedan. :lol:

:facepalm:

 

Shouldn't it be that your "goat," ONLY putting out 350, isn't that impressive? When a V6 FWD family car has almost as much with little work done?

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! :willynilly:

Well then they welded in new strut towers too....

Looks like I'm the only one who's not entirely a fan of the hood. :lol:

 

I like it, although I don't believe it fits the car well.

 

Nice build though, that 3800 looks cramped in there. :lol:

Yah, except that mine is available for the public, and doesn't suffer from a little known problem called "torque steer"

 

and anything can be done with boost. NA FTW!

That engine shot appears to be from the 300 GPX concept that was designed and built back in 1994.

Well damn, I was wrong about that engine bay shot, bravo on finding that. Anyhoo, I'm quite impressed that they actually got real close to guessing the production horsepower (They said 250 when actual was 240).
