Oddball project: Beretta "SS"
I'm sure this car is way out in left field for most of you...but I talk to a lot of people who "used to have a Beretta" and they all say they miss it. It amazes me how much attention this thing gets. My first car in high school was a white Beretta GTZ with the 180hp Quad4/5spd. A bonafide rocket ship when you're 16! haha
I bought a shell in 2009 from an abandoned project and built it from the ground up using a lot of parts from my college Beretta: a black Z26. And it certainly accelerates, turns & stops a lot better than stock. Shall we call is grocery touring?
3.4L v6 out of a 2006 Impala with modifed Grand Am headers and some bolt ons. 2.5 pipe, Dynomax VT. DIY OBD1 tune.
Stock Muncie 5spd with a LSD retrofit, Spec clutch & Driveshaft Shop axles.
Eibach springs, KYB struts/shocks, GM FE7 direct front and Addco rear sway bars, & chassis bracing.
17x7 wheels & 225 rubber. Upgraded front rotors and (Neon!) rear disc conversion w/ Lumina master cyl.
DIY paint job with Summit brand stuff. Stock Z body kit and (Mustang!) front lip.
Black leather interior (Cobalt seats, Camaro knob & handle, Lumina wheel). All red LED conversion.
I'll start with a few current pics and then get into the build.
