Here it is. I got another one. She's my new daily driver car, and she's beautiful!

royal455's 1983 Pontiac FirebirdThis is a 2.8L, 60degree V6 car, so it's not really very fast off the line. But once you're going, the gear ratios help you forget that part. I'm putting all WS6 suspension parts on it, while mildly building the V6 engine it has. The lighter engine is also mounted closer to the center of the car, making it outhandle even the V8 cars I have. I'm purpose building this car to handle. I'm NOT trying to make a drag car. I already have a few V8's. So this one is the more economical, cornering car.
