Pics? What did it put down? Track times?

My buddy had one of their kits on his 92 GT a couple years ago. Put down 405hp/443tq on a stock 200k mile motor on 8 pounds.

Here is my highly-modified(mostly by me), 1991 Camaro Z281LE(rare, few produced for Trans Am racing series) driver's school/daily driver:



That pic was taken by me in the paddock area of Roebling Road track. The date is obviously wrong.



That's it waiting to make a run at the old Road Atlanta.

They came stock with Corvette brakes and oil cooler, aluminum driveshaft, 305 ci(mine was bored out to 310 ci--the max for Trans Am), stainless steel headers and exhaust system, no AC/radio, no power windows/locks, Bilstein shocks, and a 5-speed.

I was lucky to have sold it after buying my 2001 Lightning because who would want no AC, etc? Turned out, another driver's school addict bought it.

'93 Chevy Silverado 4x4(Sold), I wish I hadnt sold this one. It was my first and I loved it
'96 Dodge Ram (Sold), Lifted 6 inches and had 36" MT Baja Claws, Fun but fell apart
'01 Dodge Durango RT (Sold), This thing would fly, but I couldnt keep front wheel bearings in it so I got rid of it.
'01 F150 Reg cab XLT 4x4, Really liked this truck but it didnt have enough room in the cab for the young family
'04 F150 SCAB XLT 4x4, I just traded this one in, I am really going to miss it.
Now I have a '10 Lariat SCREW 4x4 and I dont think that I am going to be getting rid of this one anytime soon......

OH WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
My dad had bought a new 71 Orange Plymouth Road Runner with the 440 and had it still when I was born in 74 until I was 15. He then had to sell it because of hard times. The messed up thing is since I could remember he said it would someday be mine when I was old enough to drive!!! I was bummed out terribly like any teen would by not understanding. Now at 34 I understand myself how hard times make you sell some things. You do what you have to do for your family. Oh by the way he told me recently If I could do it over again I might could have kept it for you. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

I bought the truck to haul my quad and occasionally tow my Mustang.

I was hauling the quad on a trailer behind the Elantra but didnt really trust that setup a whole lot, especially on the highway. Now I just put the quad in the bed and its all good.

Today I hooked up a trailer and hauled my Mustang to a friends house to get the motor installed. I sure couldnt have done that with my Elantra.

My brothers both have trucks but sometimes borrowing one was a pain in the ***.
