Re: You're kidding me right?

Re: Anyone Stay Stock and Auto X With Their 3rd Gen

I sure wish I could see those videos yesterday! SWEET! :D

Re: Trans Am 305s

I'm also wondering what the casting numbers would be for the right 305s? :D

But it's okay, I'm just used to doing this to verify Shelbys, Hemis, and Yenkos... not a 3rd...

Since I haven't even bought my Trans Am yet I figure I can enjoy some "armchair greasemonkeying" in trying to figure out the right 305 I want and the VIN that goes with it when I check...

Re: Anyone Stay Stock and Auto X With Their 3rd Gen

I gotta agree on your points. I mean in autocross, having too much torque and not enough grip could really hinder a driver more than help. lol I'm a member of the AZ group of autocrossers...

First off, I've driven HARD, a 2002 WS6 T/A, a 2000 Z28, a 1994 Z28, and a 1990/1 Z28 1LE.

I was fortunate enough to be a greasemonkey that had friends...
