Default AMC Pacer with LS
I am not sure if this care has been posted on the site before but I thought it was too cool of a car to not repost again

These were taken @ Milan Dragway Nostalgia Drags
the car was running 10.30's @ 130ish (iirc)

It might be a LS7 it has no dipstick and has a dry sump tank. Or could be just dry sump conversion.

I don't care what kind of car it is, anything done that well looks like art.
I say pull the wheelie bars off and stick some bigger tires on the front and terrorize the local squirrels.

Those were some ugly *** cars, but the guy who built that one knows what he is doing.

Pretty fast too.

No way - MY first car was a '71 Gremlin as well!! It was this faded steel-blue color (almost shark-colored) and had a 232 straight-6, & 3 on the tree. My dad gave it to me when I graduated HS, & we kept it for 3 weeks - just long enough to change the clutch & sell it to a girl who was going off to college...



Even being female, she probably never got laid with that car...

Regardless of what kind of car, it looks to be well put together.

I highly recommend you guys take a good look at this Pacer LS7, as it just became largely famous.
