Why are you fixing up a Bonneville?
A C5 or maybe the new GTO is my car of choice but theres just something fun about making Bonnevilles faster.
I think its just the pure aspect that it doesnt attract attention in a sense that people who pull up to you arent looking for a race. I kind of like that. I know If I drove a Vette or GTO I would be picked on all the time at lights or on the freeway and sometimes you just wanna cruise around.
I eventually want to get on a track and Im sure my car will be something a little different. I dont see many Bonnevilles in San Diego as it is anyway.

And this would be a general chat topic.....
Make sure you get your post in the right places....
I myself prefer the sleeper idea. No one expects it...the BAM! You smoke'em.

Yep, sleeper all the way! Tons of F-Bodies around here.. and we all know most of them are pretty quick. But a Bonneville? Doesn't get a second look. Especially my white one.

F- bodies, hmmm... I can beat a stock LT-1. LS1, I need an IC and 3.0 pulley for that one. I want my car to be fast because its supercharged but has NO supercharged badging anywhere on the car. Trust me I see a lot of this in my rear view mirror

The element of suprise is key to a sucessful campaign.
For me fixing up is replaced with trying to keep up, the maintenence that is, but that doesn't mean the right pedal isn't applied as needed.
