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:  
 ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/IMG_5349.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/IMG_5349.jpg)

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:

[4th run](http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-716448696702875970&hl=en)

Heh, you haven’t seen in up close in person. Pretty is another adjective that is banned from the approved list :tounge:

Thanks for the compliment.

Sweet ride, I’ve been thinking about a caprice 9C1 or an impala SS with a 6 speed swap and how badass that would be. Got any more pics?

And I wouldn’t worry about SleeperGTP, he’s a keyboard assassin with all the newbs, but he forgets the spell check, shit happens.

Welcome to the board.

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:
