Hello, just found out about the forum tonight thanks to Mike (scoob8000) and thought I would show off my car as well. Of the adjectives commonly used to describe it, sharp, stunning, clean and such are not in the list. is more like it :tounge:
It is primarily a fun platform to autocross and do track days at BeaveRun with. As mentioned in another thread, it’s initiation was this past Sunday at North Park, shown here:
It’s a Texas cop car (hence the 9C1 designation) that has had a T56 swap, 4.10:1 gears and a handful of suspension mods done. In the coming year, I will be changing a lot on the car. Back in 1997, I owned a 1995 Impala SS that I was going crazy with and mostly built a stout 395" stroker. In no particular order: ran out of money, had a business go belly-up, got married, had a couple of kids and bought a house. Fortunately, I kept the engine through all that even though I sold the SS. Now it’s time to finish the engine project and get it in this car over the winter. :hsdance:
I will be trying to attend the remaining autocross events this year as long as the worn out borrowed tires don’t show cords. It’s my first time on-course in 6+ years, so I am more interested in getting seat time than worrying about who beats who. If you see me there, tell me you saw me here
Here are the two videos my wife took Sunday: 3rd run 4th run
I never said in the snow jackass…how old are u? Not insulting u at all,just is ur.well.nevermind.:stick: U are a newb,so get used to it for a lil bit atleast jackass…anyway…i am sure u had NO mods done to ur GP so don;t talk. Welcome once again and ur still a jackass in my book till proven otherwise:doh:
haha you’ll have to excuse Devin…he’s has this weird disease that makes him sound like a badass…BUT of course he’s not!! He would probably pull over cryin (if you got behind him in that old cop car ) because you hit a bump and your light blinked and he thought he might get a ticket. POOR DEVIN :stick:
welcome. i saw it up there on sunday. my buddy was runnin in the black notch back. i noticed your car when it was drifting forward and the reverse lights were on… then it started a second later. figured it had to be a stick… then i saw the hurst sticker in the back…
sick car. welcome… devins gayness> anything on this site… even slowshelbys neon.
Thanks everyone, including SleeperGTP. It’s been a long time since I was called jackass by someone I hadn’t met, let alone 4 times in one sitting :blah:
Well I sure liked your buddy’s car. It had that unmistakable throttle response that always makes me smile. Seemed like a really nice guy when I talked to him.
One of these days I am going to get those two stupid badges off the deck lid, but I am afraid of the amount of paint they will take with them. It truly has a horrible paint job that chips and flakes around some new edge every time I hit it with water.
As for the multiple requests for pics, well, I am just not into getting it all photographed. Sorry. When I start making my own changes (especially with the the 395 installation) there will be a mountain of pictures to play with. The single underhood image I have is from the auction listing where I bought it:
is more like it :tounge:
