Thumbs up my banshee

alright.....what a banshee edition is a pontiac formula with a higher performing computer then what is in a formula or a firebird. it also has a aftermarket suspension that is designed for racing. it also creates over three hundred hp stock. chasis dyno reads out about 315.3 peak hp on the engine. the suspension is very very very rigid the car dosnt give at all on the cornering or on rough conditions. it also dosent have the traction control system in it any more. they leave the main unit but disconnect it from the car it self. it also creats over 350 ft/tq. the car is not only beutiful on the inside but they do a custom airbrush paint job on the sides, hood and the rear bumper. asicde from the fact that it has more power and is worth more you could not buy a banshee from the factory, you had to go through the dealer and they sent the car out to have the modifications done to the car. i currently own the number three conversion in the state of florida for the 94 year. im tryin to post pics but my pics are too large, can anyone tell me how to get around this.

That was most likely RB. He actually owns the rights to the banshee name.



IIRC Sunset Pontiac (has since changed to Autoway, and now I think somebody else) in Clearwater was the dealership that had them made.
