Re: GM HIGH TECH is looking for YOU!!
Not only that guys, while some of these are nice looking cars, their STOCK. 195hp 305?? C'mon guys, GM HI TECH!! We're talking probably 85+% LSx powered vehicles, or turboed, supercharged. And with the forced induction non LSx cars, their still has to be a readers reason for GMHTP magazine to feature them.

Re: GM HIGH TECH is looking for YOU!!
As it says GM HIGHTECH IS LOOKING FOR YOU. take a look and what people have done to keep the vehicle in factory condition. It isnt like your going to the store and picking up what you need at a local parts depot. The is the art in Restoration.
dont crush them restore them

Re: daily driver
Last I checked, not a damned one of the cars in this thread wound up in the magazine anyway, so why not just let everybody post their pics regardless of whether it's powered by a carb or a cold fusion generator?

Re: GM HIGH TECH is looking for YOU!!
They should change the name of the Mag from GMHT to GM-LSX.
These days unless theres a particular car in GMHT like last months, with Bruce Hawkins 92 1LE and LSX powered clone. I usually dont buy it. Before that a few months a 91/92 Z with a HSR 355 Procharged got me to buy it. Otherwise, id rather read High Performance Pontiac or Camaro Performers or even Car Craft.

Re: GM HIGH TECH is looking for YOU!!
I read GMHT when it was HT performance. They used to have a lot of articles about TPI based engines but they fell in love with the LSX engines and platforms ( whats not to love about the LSX, the platforms though?) and abandoned the 80's based vehicles all together. That was when I let my subscription end. Anyhow, I might reconsider if these wind up in the rag -




Bought the car in 1990, it now has about 110K on it. Body and paint - repainted in 2005 and all weather stripping / decals / lights / door hinges etc replaced with GM parts.
Engine - zz4 short block, AFR 195 heads, SLP T-Ram intake, custom comp roller ( .588L, 236ish D), Crower SS RR, SLP headers / cat back, 2800 stall convertor, Eibach springs, Koni struts / shocks.
This a short vid of the current settup just after putting it together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwMctOms80Y

Re: GM HIGH TECH is looking for YOU!!
My two YO son popped my car ( the one pictured above) out of gear and this happened -

I bought this with the intent of installing the go fast parts off of my car onto, then parting the rest of the 87 out, but my wife decided this would make a good replacement for the 2000 T/A I made her get rid of becuase other than the LS1 and 6 speed tranny the rest of the car was a pile of S!&**. You wont here this from the LSX appendage sucking rag, but I have been there and seen it. 4th gen cars are garbage., nly thing going for them is the drive train minus rearend.



His - n - Hers IROCs side by side

Re: GM HIGH TECH is looking for YOU!!
I take 2 years off and thought for sure i'd be blown away by some of the new things you guys are doing to thirdgens... Where are the feature rides let alone reader rides? Is the love for the thirdgen still not met that mark yet?
don't know if Jim's still around but I just finished the 5th complete ground up rebuild on the 91 if you guys need another cover car let me know.

The car sports BMW code 300 Alpine White, and rides on GM SS 17x9 wheels with BFG KD's. Too much misc to get into here. Thanks

Re: GM HIGH TECH is looking for YOU!!
That car is gorgeous! I would have strangled the guys that put the stripes on though, they look really crooked in the first pic. Besides that, what a beautiful example

Re: GM HIGH TECH is looking for YOU!!
Is there any type of list as to WHO was put into the magazines and when? I have yet to find a store in my location in YEARS that sells this magazine so I have NO IDEA if my car was ever chosen. :-(
