Fender flares on that car just make it look so badass. Any idea what LS engine it is?

I bet that thing sticks to the road pretty well with that wing.

Looks like our bracket for the UCA....but look at the spacers used to adjust camber!! Ouch! That puts a hell of a moment on that piece.

Wholly Bolt Torque Batman! Have about welding a new UCA bracket a little further out?!!! They are totally asking those bolts to do a job they can't do for too long.

{Daryl} Hey a bolt holding the toilet to the wasteline broke...let's go down to the basement and run a new bolt through the floor to hold the toilet in place. {the toilet is on the second story}

Considering that the whole cowl, where the vents and windshield wiper transmission reside, have been completely cut out off the car...The engine has probably been set back about 10 to 12 inches. :)

Is that a factory wing?

Is that a factory wing?

Yes. I think it was RPO D80.1 and it was extremely rare. I've never seen one in captivity before.

Hookedondriving.com? Says they put on track days at Button Willow.

I love the style, the flares and the wing. My wife would say "that's double dope sauce!"

LOL...

It's Gary Guthrie's buddy's (John Gilligan) car,almost a twin to his which I've seen run numerous times @ Laguna...Charlie knows them.

I just have 2 more pics of it and they really don't show much more different.
