...only when I remember those days running them beautiful sounding Hot Rods.

Just found this video in my old media on my backup drive and had to upload it to share.



And here is another oldie but goodie.

Sounds awesome. Those were only the corsa sports for both movies? The extremes have to be stupid loud!

My 3V performed well for what it was. Not bad having a 10.60 car that could drive anywhere, and bust out 10.1xs when I had to at the track.

Yep - Kooks LT's with Catted X and the older style Corsa Sport Mufflers.

*tear in eye*

Haha, yeah I don't miss the power output, but I am itching for a set of custom grind cams in my 5.4L... possibly to restore that voluptuous sound I miss.

Cam, you got rid of that for a 5.4?

Damn, I would've kept it exactly the way it was!

Especially since you have the GT500 for when you wanted some serious power!

Thanks... for some reason it would show properly on the computer but not on the phone... the ampersand messed it up in the link.

you could make yours sound exactly like this!

That's the plan... just need to align my goals after I finish refurbishing my old truck this winter.

As crazy as it sounds - I ultimately removed the cams because I couldn't get them tuned correctly. When the AC was on, all bets were off as far as reliability. The power steering pump couldn't function correctly at low speeds and I stalled out so many times in parking lots. Lol

I'll be content when I put some custom grind cams in the new setup though.

I had cats with this setup too ;)
