[Hugger Z]

Thanks guys! I am honored to be chosen. There were a lot of nice cars in the voting. The car is my fun summer DD and has over 106k on it now. ;)

Just wanted to put up some newer engine bay pics. Major THANKS to Carl (slickstang) for helping me dress some pieces up for Autorama!

Congrats!
Time to put some slicks on it and take it to the 1/4 mile.

[Hugger Z]

Thanks guys!

Is that burnout picture in Royal Oak? :lol: No, that is the one in Waterford. They have a Wed night cruise and a burnout box down the middle of the parking lot. I put my old 16" tires on the back and 'recycled' them. I still have 2 more to use up this season again. :D I helped re-pave that lot (the long lines that curve in front of the car are 2 of my passes where I walked it up the whole lot). :lol: I think I made 4 or 6 passes that night. Good times!

Congrats!

Not on the stock 10 bolt. Street tires stay on until I can afford to upgrade the rear. Those are my fuse. It runs decent, just can't launch it hard.

Nice car! Pull off the ground effects and do a flat black berger and sunoco hood = :drool: None the less, beautiful car. Any problems with the APS turbos yet?

Thanks man. Ground effects stay. They are different and I like them. It's one of the reasons I bought the car. Not a fan of the Berger panel on 4th gens. If I did it it would be gloss black and not flat black, but I don't see me going that route. Sunoco hood is something I've been watching...... It's one of a few hoods I find myself liking on the cars. We'll see. Gotta spend the $$ other places first. Might have finally worn out the turbo's. Car started smoking the week of Woodward. I climbed under it yesterday and saw some drippage off both turbo's and tightened the turbo v-bands. May have to pull it all apart this winter and either have them rebuilt or replace them with the LG turbo's. But those are pricey.....
