Looking forward to this build hoping to compete with camrys Sounds good, I think most cars can compete if built good enough. I ran my grand am against a few w bodies, stang and camry. Held up good. Def have to drive it a bit more strategic but can hold its own. Best of luck to you with your build 👍

I shortened the front sub rails, I would add more plates to the front rails firewall fwd. Maybe a trans protector. Shattered my housing, although I took 2nd place against some well known competitors around here. Fun car, first pontiac Ive ever built. Dubbed it Project Pontiac

I had two of these cars that were identical to rach other just different engines in them. I had ran the first one earlier in the spring, I was able to use parts off this car in the pics and get the pre ran one ready for late summer shows. I ended up scrapping this car after the run to make room and get the other one ready. Although there was plenty of life still in it, just had to let it go due to my room and time circumstances.
