1993 Firehawk #018 of 201
Purchased on Ebay (#4617690696) 03/08/2006
Picked up in Houston, TX 03/10/2006
Current Goals: Build a reliable street car that puts down respectable
numbers at the track without major sacrifices to comfort or functionality.
Modifications must retain stockish appearance and should not require frequent maintenance.
(IE: No gutting, no solid roller, no "discount" engine builds and no dyno tricks)
Status:
Forged 383 Installed. See page 6 for details.
Working out a few last bugs before I take it to the track.
I intend to continue to drive this on the street as a toy, I don't see it being my DD anymore.
