Default My "turd" gen in GM High Tech

Couldn't resist to brag about my car being in this months gmht.
Photo shoot was done in South Carolina in November where there car was re-Built by Hawks third gen. As some of you know I have had this car for 21 years and I plan on taking it to the grave with me.

Shout out for the boys over at G-force for taking good care of my car every time I take it in for an upgrade. Had to mention you guys. Your in about every other post this month anyway.

Congrats Kevin, I remember the last black third gen Formula featured in GMHTP was Torry Hess' 87 Formula 350 from up north. Not sure if you remember his car, but it was a 406 with a big blower on it, ended up going 9.2@150, so safe to say GM High Tech likes fast blower black Formulas.

Yeah that one is a fast ride. Seems like they feature a third gen every few months. I also liked Terry Blanton's blue 87 formula. His is one of the reasons I let Hawks build mine.

If you have not seen this car in person, you will like it even more. Car is just FLAWLESS....

And Kevin, i still say swap to the honeycomb tail lights if you got a chance, would be perfect.

I know I said it before but that's a beautiful car man, and I like the engine/supercharger setup. The whole car is just perfect.
