my brother got this car when he was 16, new in 1989. he got the bug to go fast, by 1990 i worked on it and got it to 13.8 (remember this was 1990), by 1992 we had a 383 built and i installed and we got it to 12.7 then a 150 shot of no2 and never ran it at the track. then life set in, marraige, kids and building our business. we got it out a few year back and got it going but fould that our taste had changed, #1, mid 12 isnt so fast anymore, the paint was bad, car was tired.
so about a year ago he got with a guy at hawkes and sent it in for a ls1 swap. well double the budget and it turned into
new paint, new interior, big brakes, a narrowed ford 9 inch with 3.73, new suspension, custom rims and an ls1 with a custom blower cam and a magnacharger and a conversion from an automatic to a 6 speed.
this car weighs around 3250 pound, not 3800 plus like a new camaro or mustang.
