Hello all,
I would like to introduce myself and describe my project car/ daily driver, a 1980 Pontiac TA SE.
I have been working to build this car into a pro-touring car since before I ever heard the term "G-machine". I would still consider myself a beginner, though.
Current mods: Big block Chevy 402/400hp, Hotchkis TVS suspension, Bilstein shocks, Competition Eng. subframe connectors and Slide-link traction bars, and Boyd Coddington 18" wheels with Nitto 555 Xtreme rubber on all 4s. I am in the process of installing a Tremec TKO-600, will let you know how it works out.
It is my goal to be able to destroy Vettes, Porsches and ricers, and any other "new" cars with owners who think an old, heavy muscle car can only go fast in a straight line!!
I welcome any and all suggestions/criticisms, and can't wait to hear from you gearheads out there!
