1987 Pontiac Sunbird GT

About This Vehicle:

I bought this car needing engine work and ended up replacing the engine. It came with a new head and turbo, so when the replacement engine blew a head gasket, I put the new parts on. Way too hard to work on!! The car's photo made the Jan/Feb 2005 Issue of Pontiac Enthusiast (pg 59) and again in the July/August issue (pg 16). I guess that ranks as my proudest car moments.

Future:
  • I'm sure a Turbo car is capable of quicker than high 16's
  • low 17's even with just tuning. It's a real dog off the line
  • but it'll change lanes if you punch it at 30-35 if your not hanging on. I'll bet some of you could offer some tuning suggestions.
