Hello Mr Bird Mann, I live in Ga. I Have #4 Blackbird. My car has a 525 Package on it. Dyno #'s were 455 RWHP and425RWTQ. We just added Strange 12 bolt with 410 gears last week. All my work is done over at GMMG. Mike and Ron are some good guys to work with. Maybe I will run into you at a show somewhere one of these days

Blackbird4, where in GA are you at? I've got one of the Carl Black Formula's and I've been talking with Ron about going to the Stage II package in a few months with the LS6 heads. I'd like to meet up with you and maybe go for a ride? to see just how much more the car pulls with the Phase II on it. TIA

Holy crap, so they offered a 525 horse package?! If you don't mind my asking...how much did your BB sticker for?

BTW, 2002yrOneFormula...I looked at your online pics, and I've either seen your car, or one just like it many times on the road...

Well, I know there is at least one other white car in Alpharetta, But mine is distinguishable now, cause I've added the blue fill-ins to the nose bird and rear pontiac letters.

Well, my mom has driven it a couple of times but I'm usually the one driving it. The other white one is owned by a lady that I would guess is probably in her late 30's.

Guys. Please help me out. When putting your Blackbird in a show what do you list it as.
Stock or modified. I thought stock because really it doesnt have as many mods as the other mod cars have. I dont like to put it in a special intrest vehicles.

Thanks!

Hey blackbird4-
Did your car already have stage 2 when you bought it or did you do it afterwards.
Great pitcures by the way. I will try to get some of my PR-1.

If you ever get a chance please send me pictures of there work on your car.
If I do get anything done on my car I would send it to them too. I have been emailing Matt Murphy from GMMG. Great guy. Do you think the value of your car will go down due to your mods or you dont really care. By the way my daily driver is a 1994 Buick Regal. Its been ran into at least five times, parked. LOL..Good luck at the track.
My email address: carrillo_1967@yahoo.com Thanks...

I see your Blackbird is a Year One Edition also did you purchase the car new or in the Georgia area? Their were 2 prototypes made of the Year One cars.

[QUOTE=carrillo1967]Hey Bird Mann- how much did you pay for a trailer? And do you keep it by your house? $6000.00 Hallmark 20ft V front nice trailer if you are pulling through those hills cuts down on wind resistance.The V front also give you 3ft of extra space . I would recomend this trailer to anyone. Great pull. I keep it the back next to my garage,until the next time its needed.
