      It's a great road trip car, so we took it to GM Nats at Carlisle PA and this year Berettafest was in Ocean City MD. Won best exterior, but lost out on the top prize to an 11k original GTZ with a fresh repsray...that thing is showroom new. (I happen to think that mine is much better than showroom, but I may be biased.) I did get awards for no front plate and tinted windows...thanks NY.

      Had to pull her out in February and DD it for a week while I fixed the clutch on my truck. Luckily the weather was beautiful, even 70 one day! I put it back away before the 30" of snow came.





      Bought a set of Falken Azenis 615K+ on sale. Only $100/per including shipping after the mail-in rebate. Damn good deal. My cheap Sumitomos are shot.



      I also saw some sweet SS emblems in the Aussie hot rod mags I brought home from vacation. And since I'm a little Aussie-obsessed now I was thinking about buying a set. I can get them all matte black. The design even looks kinda 90s. The car is already odd, why not a little more so? haha



      Since these tires were coming off anyway, I decided to do some brake testing and check my front/rear bias. Tried hammering on them and then threshold tests. It's tough to stay near lock without locking. It's definitely a little too much rear brake when the weight transfers to the front. Got it slideways a couple times. ABS came on these cars starting in 92 so it's possible to retrofit if I can find donor parts, but I'm thinking about just a prop valve for the rear.

      Measured 60-0 as accurately as i could with a start line at a telephone pole and 100' marked off from there. 106' was the best I got, which I'm super stoked with, even if I did jump the brake point a few feet early.

      Nicely done and looks fun!! My wife had a teal green pace car when they came out. She said it needed more power, so a couple of years later she stepped up to a SSEI Bonneville(supercharged, also had a heads up display) That was a fun car also till I threw a supercharger belt one night and the dash lit up like a Christmas tree!! When the belt tore off, it pulled several electrical connectors apart. That was fun to repair in the dark..

      Enjoy, Chris

      Tried to burn the fronts back to round, but clutch dumps just didn't get as much smoke as I wanted.

      So I tied it to my truck and made everything disappear...

      Loving these new Azenis. Nice and grippy. Going to be a lot of fun at the autocross at Carlisle. Want to run it in the 1/4 too. Maybe finally get my 13-sec slip with some better grip and some better driving. Just really enjoying my summer beater!

      Guess I'll update and close out this post... Sold it!

      I love this thing and never expected to sell it in a million years, but I got a massive offer out of the blue and took it! Figured I could finally get more work done on my Camaro, and I've had this itch to make a RWD Beretta with an LS...so bought a stock one to do that.

      Had it on a bunch more road trips and finally broke into the 13s with it on the Azenis. Then grabbed a set of slicks and broke the n/a Beretta record with a 13.29@101. Kinda went out on top! haha

      I put a ton of stuff on my youtube before I sold it. Check it out if you're interested. Got a lot of other stuff going on there too. Oh yeah...and had a kid! haha

      I already miss it, but the deal was just too crazy to pass up. I can have my RWD LS swap one done for less than half of what I got. So........on to the next adventure!
