Well, I guess that since we have a shop competition car, might as well put it here...
This is our twin turbo V8 swapped GNX. Fred and I built it up from a stock GNX to something he intended to use in the modern Trans-Am series, but he never drove the car. Now she just sits in the lot.. Alone. I'm more or less in charge of taking care of it, starting it up every now and then, but other then that, she hasn't really moved but 3 feet every month. I'm thinking about asking him if I could take it to Trans-Am, but I'm kinda scared to. He put ALOT of money into the car. The engine alone is custom built, carbed and turboed, costed around 7 grand. The suspension, with the Miracle X-Bar in the rear, cost about 5k. the body work was nearly 6k. It's straightpiped, and halfway splits to teh quads in the rear. It's a clusterfuck around teh rear axle, routing 4 exhaust pipes xD She makes about 600 hp at the wheels, or 650 at the crank. We had to get an Autometer gauge for the dash because the stock tach needle broke off when we first started the engine. It somehow revs up to 10k, and the stock tach only goes to 8k. Sparco F-300R seat is actually really comfortable. He chose number 77 because it was Sam Posey's number on his Trans-Am Challenger. Since the shop is sponsered by HKS and BF-Goodrich, had to put their names onto the car. I rolled her into the shop to get decently lit pictures.    Custom built air filter from HKS for the carb and turbo setup..  Also, update on the FrankenLevin! I got a set of USED BBS RS rims. Although their miscolored... And I painted the bumper and headlight to match the car. I picked a really used Eribuni wing, and I'm also looking to sell the Ram and the '69 Fairlady, and looking to buy an 850 Series Volvo.
