A New 8 sec. GN in town

There is a new 8 sec. (best time was 8.17) GN in Robert's garage. It was delivered last night and it just needs Robert's stage two engine to be installed.

Good luck with the project!

We have to ask Robert for more pictures. This one was the best of the three that he sent me. The car is definitely built for speed (recently certified for 7.50). It came with a Fab 9" rear, Strange 40 spline axles, coil over springs, wheelie bars and parachute, Precision 88 turbo, liquid to air intercooler, built 400 trans and an 8" 5100 stall converter, Bank to Bank Fast, fiberglass front clip and doors, Lexan windows, 33" wide tires, CO2 air shifter with separate RPM shift module and rev limiter and a Turbo Action shifter. The weight is about 2800 lbs. so it should haul. Robert was talking about changing the color but I am trying to convince him to put the motor together and get the car into the sevens first. (he also needs to think about a fire suppression system and frequent change of underwear)

Thanks for your help with the '86. I know the wait will be worth it. I renamed 80's muscle business to just M 80's. Does not quite fit but sounds good and I can visualize a whole marketing theme using the abbreviation. I can see it now; the big chested girls with the M 80's Tee shirts!

Robert, you need to bring that thing down to Barona and help me beat up on some of these V8s. They're only a minority that I can't handle, but sure would be nice to show them some high end V6 muscle.

I like the color!
