About this Current Vehicle:

Got this car in high school. It was my first car.

About 1 yr and a few mods later I got my first ticket.

*120mph in a 55mph
*Misdemeanor: "Disregard for a police officer"

Basically I was racing a 70's Corvette (kid from school driving his dads car), and we got rolled. Vette got stopped, I got stopped a little later by 2 state and 3 local cops.

Factory Options:

Everything except the digital dash and leather.

Exterior Modifications:

Badges removed

5% Tint on sides and back

Fiberglass OEM style aerowing

Interior Modifications:

Fiberglassed headliner, black dash, white gauges, A-Pillar with phantom boost and AEM wideband controller, backseat amp rack.

Performance:

ZZ4 cam/springs
DIY EEPROM tuning
Self ported L98 heads
mixed 1.6/1.5 roller rockers
hogged out TPI baseplate and plenum, with airfoil
BBS single race turbo header
Running 7psi

Suspension/Chassis:

Half coil off the front springs, new endlinks

Drivetrain:

Semimanual bodied 700R4, 3000 stall

Electronics:

Car PC soon, Alpine type R's, Infinity 4x6 and 6x9 this summer, no back seats, etc...

Tunerpro hooked to my laptop, do all my own GM ECM tuning with the '165 ECM.

Plan will be to have an integrated mini ITX PC which is tied into the ECM as well as a dash mounted touchscreen with multimedia, GPS, etc as well as display of critical engine parameters. In the future Id like to delete the gauges and replace them with an LCD which would display computer generated gauges. Maybe an OBDII conversion as well using vortec stuff... hmm..

To-Do List:

N/A

Hey, thanks for the comment! I try to represent the Buick 3.8 as much as I can. I also have a 2001 GTP that I havent updated my profile with yet. Its a special edition but nothing that special to me, just a good daily driver that can get out of its own wa
