Re: Southside Machine is Baaaack!

took a bit (he was on vacation) but the SSM bars are home safe...(back up parts) if I swap to a FAB9 housing....

I can do it now and still have my trusted and true original set up!

I guess you can be forgiven for your Frod incident

, now that you have come to your senses and own A 3rd gen.

Now NEVER mention that lapse in judgement again.

Your penance is to do 5 burnouts in your IROC.

Actually, for the time, Fox bodies weren't that bad.

Challenge - name 1 good looking American car that also had decent performance from that era.
Right now, the only thing coming to my mind is the Grand National & T-Type Regals.

Re: Southside Machine is Baaaack!

I hope they bring them back. I've had those on the black sled of death since very early on, probably 2002 or so. It was often that someone commented on how hard/straight the car left the line ... it still does.
