I don't only like turbo 4-cylinders ;)

Here's my 1991 Corvette coupe, with every performance option available for 91 (except for ZR1 of course), it has the L98 TPI 350 V8 and ZF 6-speed manual transmission. "Z51" performance handling package, "FX3" selective ride control, "J55" factory big brake package. It's a beast... an old beast but a beast nonetheless :thumbsup: Can't figure out if I'm gonna just keep her factory and continue to make her as perfect as I can, or modify the heck out of it... The idea of a 3" dual TPiS exhaust and headers is tempting...

^Forgot to mention, I've had this car for almost a year now (I didn't just buy it) It was a present from my father, well actually I wouldn't even call it a present, more like a "Hideki, I'm getting a divorce and I don't want your mother to make me sell my Corvettes. So you can have the '91" Either way it's in my name now (sorry pop) :cheers:

Odd pair....i'd keep the vette as stock as possible. Probably keep its value better stock. Cars like that should be left as they were from the factory...just my

It's a C4 vette, so I doubt the value is planning on jumping anytime soon.

That's a good looking Vette. Not a bowtie guy myself, but have to give GM credit. They've come a long way since the original 6 cylinder, automatics they started with in 1953.
I've always had love/hate feelings for the Vette. Love what GM has done with/to them in the last 50 + years. Hate that Ford didn't see fit to do the same thing with the Bird.
Guess that's why I got an Alfa Romeo in 1963. Ford had turned the Bird into a 4 seater, and the rumored 2 seat Mustang also arrived with 4 seats.

That is one FAST Focus. Assume it's either a pro built race car, or something the owner did.
NOT something you can go to your local (German-I think) Ford dealer and buy. Like you can the Vette. Sigh.
I saw about 252-253 kph on the speedometer during that last run.
If that speedometer is accurate at that speed and my math is correct, that translates to 155-160 MPH. Not to shabby.

Re: I don't only like turbo 4-cylinders ;)

The new Vettes are an incredible bang for the buck! I think thats a car GM can be very proud of. Not much can hang with a z06! Yes that is a fast focus! WOW

Re: I don't only like turbo 4-cylinders ;)

Well, natural Focus RS has a 215 hp engine, so I assume that owner boosted it up a little bit.....You were able to buy a Foci RS few years ago, with a 2.0 zetec and a turbo with 215 hp, but they were rare..only 4500 has been made, to my knowledge..They used few of them in America, to build a RS8 version with a Cammer 5.0 which is absolutely brutal....
I also have to admit, that is one beautifull Vette, although I like Stingray version more....
( It's hard to find V8 here in Europe, so that's why I'm defending 4 cyl's

Few more fast Foci's:

Re: I don't only like turbo 4-cylinders ;)

you don't liek 4cyl turbos because they usually smoke large displacement engines?
