My Garage got invaded!

[Johnny Blaze]

A big mean non pro touring machine rumbled its way to my house, and forced its way into my IROC Z's parking space!



Luckily I was able to subdue it, as can be seen by the jackstands,



Could you imagine driving with these front tires, no sway bar, 90/10 shocks, moroso trick front springs, and manual steering? My dad does, smiling the whole time!



On top of that, look whats under the hood!

I presume you were being facetious when you refer to the 55 as being Pro-Tour..I'm sure it'll go, but Pro Tour it ain't..straight line only..or someone will have a scab on their as*

i love the 55 and 56 cars so much more than the 57s. i guess i just got burnt out on the 57s. now all i need is to be able to tell the difference between the 55 and 56 easier. i still get confused.

[dropit69]

the 56 trim goes all the way into the front fender the 55 stops halfway..only way i can tell..anyone else?

55 headlights are round, 56 are squared, 55 has an oval grill, 56 is straight across and squared. 56 has sharper fins on the rear quarters.

?????????? 55 has retangular rounded front turn/parking lights (short and wide), the 56 has square front turn/parking lights but same round headlights, I am guessing that is what you mean?
56 tail lights are actually round, but the shape of the 56 tail light housing is somewhat similar to the shape of the 55. The 55 rear lights take up the entire housing. Also, the 56 gas fill is behind the left rear tail light, 55 fuels from side.

Here is a 56 from ebay. Easier to look at then to describe.

Looks like a bracket car. Is it?

Those will always have a special place in my heart.

[Johnny Blaze]

Yep, we run 1/8th mile brackets with it.

[Johnny Blaze]

How about these brake upgrades? Thats PT right?



You can kind of see the discs



But these don't help much!
