I've owned this car since 1996 and have spent the time and money into the engine and drivetrain. The Olds sees regular street duty when time allows and gets driven to and from the local track Milan Dragway in Milan MI.

The engine is a 455 and was built by Greg's Performance.
Greg is pushing out monster HP with these Olds engines.
Thanks to Greg's Performance.

No power adders needed here.

Recent updates for 2005 include 'glass hood and trunk lid to shed a few pounds. The Hood is from VFN and the Trunklid came from Glasstek.
