(site is now more user friendly. ie. when you click on the photos to each page on the bottom, you actually go to that page)
Summer Nationals 2009
Bought in condition seen above ^ 65000 miles on engine (just turned 66000 today (10-13-08)) everything works in perfect condition (from cruise control, to A/C) and it can go fast dont worry ;)
It is a 2 door with a 2.8 litre Fuel Injected V-6. minor flat spot in the tires (from being stored for 10 years) when the person i bought it off of took it out of his garage, all he did was change the oil and it fired right up on 10 year old gas. the speedo only goes up to 85 but i think it has enough power to get it to 115-120 MPH, rides smooth as silk all the way to 90 MPH.
so-far ive spent a total of 26 hours just cleaning the rims, ive replaced the brake pads and rotors (it stopped so fast the first time it almost sent my passenger through the window.)
To Come: Finishing cleaning the rims (with black and red paint in recessed areas) and engine top end service (just to check for damage or worn parts) NASCAR-style sidepipes?
(all modifications will be made so i can return it to stock if needed)
this is a daily driver(14 miles per day avg.) and i am planning on getting a junker car to be a daily driver concidering this one is so rare
(10-28-08) thermostat finally kicked it. i go to check the tranny in the driveway after a drive, get back in the car and the temp is in the yellow about to cross into the red. more repairs and trying to find parts that barley even exist. luckily the NAPA a couple of towns over had one, so they dusted it off and gave it to me for 6$. now i just need to find the time to do it.
(10-31-09) Car is in the bodyshop awaiting new paint, i still cant figure out where im going to get those X-11 stickers for it, i know GM doesnt stock them anymore.
(1-22-09) Car's new paint and its home safe, i ground all of the rust i could find off and painted it with ultra-thick rubber rust protectant, all of the trim was repainted black and the red paint was darkened a little for a better look.
(7-16-09) engine top end is taken apart, cleaning, painting, and upgrading is coming soon. (by the way, 6 injectors will cost you 1,014$)
(yes i know its dirty, getting the engine cleaned after paint and the winter)
