CenTex, that is a sweet Spec V!!! I owned the older brother to that car.... a '91 Sentra SE-R. It was Super Black w/ a sunroof and a 7500 rpm redline and factory LSD / ABS. That car was a blast!
I miss that little car and always admired the Spec V's up until the current version.

92 S10, V6, 5speed, first car, paint, rims, fatter tires, lowered gutted cats with straight pipes, sounded damn good should of kept it and put a V8 in it
96 Firebird, Flowmaste catback, was an alright car, looked good.
97 Sierra RCSB, 350 Vortec, tons of mods, and would shock most cars on the road in a race

88 Beretta GT...My first brand new car when I was 17. Note the late-80's trendy add-ons!

1988 Trans Am GTA...Probably my second favorite car that I'eve ever owned. Got me laid A LOT. Bought it from my parents in November of '89 so they could buy a 1990 Corvette.

1968 Buick Skylark. My first "race" car shown here in 1992 going low 15's at LACR on SPRAY!! LOL!
![](http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/vanshmack/Old%20Cars/Z28atGasStop.jpg)
2000 Camaro Z28. All the bolt-ons, plus it was the first F-body with the 2001 LS6 cam. Went 12.90's with an automatic and no tune.

1999 Camaro SS with LS1 Racing heads/GM Hot Cam/Pacesetter longtube headers. Would **** you up bad on the street. It ate up two Spec Stage IV clutches because it made 440+ RWHP and I sucked at launching. This was back in 2002 before LSx mods were real common.

1974 Corvette L48. Our wedding gift to ourselves. Slower than **** but looked good!

1998 Grand Prix GTP. Our old commuter.

The wife's old 2007 Tahoe.

2005 Saturn ION.

1977 Camaro with 2007 Vortec 4.8 and 4L80-E. The car was my Dad's final project, and he was about half finished when he passed away. I finished the car and swapped out the weak 305. The result was a rest-mod Camaro that went mid 14's and got 31 MPG on the highway. Here's the motor:

Our current car, the 2006 Impala SS.

1987 Buick Grand National. Parents bought it new in June of '87, and was left to me when my Dad passed away. I don't have a lot of good pics of it because the paint is a disaster and I'm kind of ashamed. The interior is good and it runs 11.70's on alky. Someday, she'll be restored.
