Raspy little fucker! White one cruising down the left lane of the three lane highway doing 3 MPH over Passed him in the middle You sure it wasn't a Fiero with the Lambo Kit ? Some douche showed up with one at the final local Car show last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about Long noses and post C4 Vette's in the next breath Black Trans Am FTMFW I didn't post a vette...not my cup of tea. You could seriously improve the look of that car by shortening the nose by a foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have a foot to shorten unless it was all bumper and that would seriously look retarded and kill the lines On another note Im glad they have a big nose because it probably saved my life when I wrecked my 99 Z28 head on.

Deephaven Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Helped my buddy do a 3.8t into a fiero in high school. That thing ripped. My problem with anything 80s is everything newer is nicer, faster and handles better. The GM build quality of that era was abysmal as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold War Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Buddy brought his 55 olds out last night. fast? Nope handles like a dream? Nope good gas mileage? Nope. Cooler than anything being built in the last 50 years? Yup! That is factory A/C . Automatic headlight dimmers . The details on this car are just incredible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Prix is a little beat up after Wifey clipped a Deer, but not sure if I wanna fix it or part it out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
