Aaron Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Sleeper. The art of the deceptively fast automobile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96Hv_jRQMv8 This is a four door Fairmont: Now that we have that out of the way. A twin turbo 6.0LS motor, with some internal goodies and two S400 chargers on it... in a 1986 four door Chevy Caprice with a 4L80E, and 3.5" or so exhaust with mufflers to the stock location exit should just blend right into the crowd. Car will have A/C, bench seat, column shift, baby seat in the back seat. Should run 9.0's And nobody will suspect ANYTHING... Project is underway... Larry, I need some turbos.

Keith Browning Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I love the 72 Nova! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 That car used to run around Detroit. Street legend. Hey Mike, shoot me a call some time! We gotta get some beers. I still have my Malibu street pounder, bottom 11's on pump gas all motor, and it gets a camshaft and intake swap in the spring to put it into the 10.90 range.

lmorris Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Best deal I ever saw involved buying an early 70's Nova with a 350 and a mid 70's chevy 3/4 ton with a 454. Needless to say the engines were swapped and the 3/4 ton was sold. My assisant manager at the time, drove the Nova for awhile, holy crap that was a fast car. Then sold it to some young buck with a wad of cash in his pocket. He actually made over $1000 in the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbudge Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 When I was in Australia in the late 80's the cops in Melbourne had problems with street racing. Their solution was to take one of their Holden patrol cars, with a stock 305 q-jet, put a NOS nozzle on the air cleaner hold down stud, and invite the kids to the racetrack to race a cop car. As I recall it ran fairly respectable times for 1988. The rumor was that when they weren't racing it they still used it for regular patrol duty.
