Relax. The car is mine and no-one has ever come up to me red faced after I beat them. I've lost races too you know. It's just a fun car, I get ALL positive feedback from people that see it in person.

The car is 100% street legal save for the slicks. The body work and some interior carpeting will be done this winter so it's more comfortable to drive in, the tin interior is too noisy, besides another 50-100#'s isn't going to slow me down too much. It will go 8's next year, the car hasn't had the benefit of suspension tuning or convertor correction. The video you saw didn't use nitrous either.

It amazes me when people talk **** about it on these boards. "It's not really a Geo". Who gives a **** what you think from 1000 miles away. Come see it in person if you really want to appreciate it. I'm a friendly guy, I don't make threats (I'm a happily married Christian with a couple of little drag racers in the nest at home.) The people who've gone to the trouble of building their own cars (more than a lid and headers) are the people who really appreciate it.

It has the stock dash that even partially is functional. The door panels are also stock and the doors have the factory impact bars in them. It also has a really small cam (206 roller) and a full muffled exhaust (which it always races with) so it idles nice and is very docile. It's not much of a sleeper with the 28 X 11.5 ET Drags out back though.

that car is sweet. i love sleepers

 

I guess if you put a big block in a camaro, it is not a camaro, it is a big block with a camaro body

 

There used to be an old geo around here in the saint louis area with a big block(rumored to be a 454) in it that was good for 9's. Haven't seen him in a long while, though, I wonder if he wrecked it... or if this is the same guy? Either way the car screamed and was fun as hell to watch.

 

my thoughts exactly. i think it is a very cool car. and did anyone notice what that was that got killed in the other lane?

 

The guy who owned that Geo was killed in a motorcycle crash almost two years ago. I haven't seen his car out since.

 

Well that sucks. I was worried something like that might have happened.

 

yeah the Geo is pretty tight. I have to admire the work it took to convert it to RWD and shoehorn in the V6 and turbo plumbing Now how much does it weigh?

 

Man, that is a pisser, I wanted to meet him someday. A rear shot of that car was partially responsible for me choosing that body style.

Do you know what it ran?

The car weighs 2250 with me in it.
