Just like any other GN, its black. The motor has just been built and I have been working on getting it tuned. Its nice living so close to two drag strips so I have a legal way to test and tune the car. So far I have run a best of 11.53 @ 119 on 24 PSI of boost. Still running a little rich (actually a lot) but keep getting data logs and checking where I can pull fuel and where I should add it.
Rear defog, delay wipers, tape deck, thats it. Factory stripper that still ran over $17,000 when bought new.
Stripped the lacquer and repainted it. New emblems that are actually put back in the correct areas.
Bunch of gauges and thats about it.

air bags, sway bar, end links, bushings. Why not try to see how fast I can go on a mostly stock suspension first.
Full built billet 200-r4 transmisson from Master Transmission. New Art Carr 16930 that I had re-done (which is why its new) to stall at 3500 and added an anti-balooning plate. I hope I put enough into these to support the power output of the motor.
F.A.S.T. B2B engine management system.
Notch the frame so I can put bigger tires in the back and keep some traction.

Nice. It's a real shame they're shutting us down here at the end of August.
Guess it's just too old for the GM boys : /
Too bad the 3.6 gets worse gas mileage and doesn't have the reputation of the 3.8
