And I think I go through a lot of used tires with the black cat...

I would need a PILE. Every single day I'd be just melting tires everywhere. Without brakestands. Donuts too, I'd be looking for spots to get away with that. And wouldn't get away with it. Buh-bye driver's license.

Almost can't believe how well-done the job is.
1987 20th Anniversary Cougar, 302 "5.0" GT-40 heads (F3ZE '93 Cobra) and TMoss Ported H.O. intake, H.O. camshaft
2.5" Duals, no cats, Flowmaster 40s, Richmond 3.73s w/ Trac-Lok, maxed out Baumann shift kit, 3000 RPM Dirty Dog non-lock TC
Aside from the Mustang crinkle headers, still looks like it's only 150 HP...

1988 Black XR7 Procharger P600B intercooled, Edelbrock Performer non-RPM heads, GT40 intake AOD, 13 PSI @5000 RPM. 93 octane

Reminds me of when I was in high school. There was a guy that had a chevette with a 3.8 turbo from a wrecked grand national. That car was sweet. I think this one is sweeter though. I've seen plenty of V8 chevettes in my day, but this one is done right!

i remember a story being told to me about the guy going to the all vette corvette race with a big block chevette and winning the thing.  They changed the rules after that.
