Nice car, but why does it say 1985 GTA at the top?

because he wants to go fast in style...

I'm sick of seeing fast gutted cars , most of us like to enjoy our cars and that includes driving them ya know ? it's kinda hard to do when you have no interior and you are listening to open headers...

Why have a/c or insulation? They slow you down. Some of us really like to listen to music, especially if you drive it every day or sit in traffic. Ever driven for 2 hours without a radio or the crappy stock "system"? If you have and didn't have a problem with it, then you'll never understand. Personally, if I have to give up 3 tenths in the 1/4 so i can enjoy great sound in my street car, then I'm all for it.

That car to me would look a hell of a lot better minus the graphics. I don't think i've seen any cars with graphics other than simple two tones and pinstripes that look good. Solid color is the only way to go. Other than that not bad...

Hey, who ever said thirdgen's have a 50/50 weight ratio anyways. Maybe adding 100 pounds to the back of the car could help even the weight. And if relocating a 20 pound battery will help with traction, then certainly a 60 pound subwoofer box can too.

There's nothing wrong with having an aftermarket system, but it doesn't have to weigh 100lbs. That's 1/10 right there, I'm sure it's not a necissity for the whole neighborhood or shopping center to hear you coming, that's what the blower is for.

I didn't look at the car earlier, because I was a crappy computer, but now that I've seen it, I have to agree that that stereo was overkill. However, the whole car is overkill. I think that everything on it was done to maximize the WHOAH! factor and win car shows.

Whoa, thats like 10 minutes away from me. That hood is badass. I also never understood why people have fast cars then load it with speakers. If my car was ever really fast, I wouldn't put more than an amp and replace the factory speakers. But thats just me.

Ok...I saw the car...and it is a nice car.. but $35,000?? Holy ****!! I dunno, if I had $35,000 US to spend on a car I think I would invest it in a new 4th Gen TA ... but then again this car would kill any 4th Gen off the show room floor.!

i see the stereo as pretty cool, i mean you spend ALOT more time just driving then at full open throttle, well maybe. that just looks like a flashy street cruiser but i bet its still got enough go-go to satisfy you even with the system
