Heres a Pic of the SD-455 Tribute Cars Engine

 

Nice car, I had a black 99 for a while.

 

Very nice

 

thats awesome, love the wheels

 

was that car in an issue of high tech gm performance?

 

I saw this car goin down I-85 today. Too bad i was in my truck and not the car. He prob thought i was some crazy guy drowling over a car and knowing nothing about it haha. Looked and sounded really good, but the guy doesnt mind goin steadly 85mph on the interstate..

 

Too bad he had a bunch of probs with it on the 'Run.. wanted to see what it would do on the street..... but he complained of oil pressure and head gasket probs...

 

I love this car. 10s NA with a 6 speed in full street is badass!

 

Wow very nice car!

 

Well done... I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that's jealous!

You should add the C5 Front brakes for some more stopping power

 

I'm sorry but a 1.55 60' on street tires...

 

Not to be a jerk but all that and you didn't use a LS6 valley cover or a catch can?

 

Cool ride!

When I was a young lad me and my bro built a 4 speed 69 GTO with an SD 455.

 

If that truly ran 10s, wouldn't it have a rollcage? Looks sweet none the less but things don't seem to add up right. Street tires doesn't seem they would be Drag Radials as well.

 

i was thinking the same thing.

 

looks like a clean trans am but nothing really special..appearance wise

 

Nice looking car, but how do you cut a 1.5 60' on street tires with a 6 speed? Unless it's got some massive 345 size rear tires....

Very nice, clean car for sure.

 

No. To run more than twice legally, yes.

 

Yes it ran high tens on Drag Radials in the rear check the specs on top 315's in the rear and also on youtube there is a video of the run...just do a search for my videos cheigis
