Prodigy for a Cause show: 9/25/2011

I see a few red Xs but I did notice that LS1 engine extremely quick. I'm waiting for them to load though.
nice trophies for the GAGT. The Galant will get there, I wish I went to shows to get trophies. It seems like it would be a great time.
Nice pics, glad you shared them, sorry the turn out wasn't so good. If you were closer I would go
edit: that charger is different, but still looking good.

Grand Am looking good, love the tails on it. Nice pics Chris!

Yeah, the Galant has a lot more potential than my GAGT, but being a Mitsu, it's competition is stiff. The FWD Pontiac crowd was rather weak, this was the Galant's third show...it does have a trophy, but I forgot to bring it back out for the shot. lol
The Charger, there's a story behind that. If anyone who's noticed the RIP Sal Gianni decal on my Pontiac's back window, that Charger belongs to Denise Gianni, his mom. The design, is actually from sketches Sal Jr came up with to eventually do himself, but he never did. Denise dug up his old plans, and wanted to go ahead with what Jr wanted.

Sal Jr loved coming up with schemes and ideas for not just his Scion xA, but anyone else's car he liked. He even had one for my GAGT, he knew I liked simple, he had a navy blue fade to black sketched out, top to bottom. He was hands on too, helped me paint the wheels black the first time, and helped with my engine bay getting blacked out. He was there when my car had a lifter bolt snap, and it misfired like nuts and spent hours with me trying to diagnose the source of the misfire...he was a damn good friend of mine, and it's been over a year, and I still miss him... :/

Thanks, Ally! Seeing the GA cleaned up again, even with the fender damage, I don't feel so glum anymore about owning the car.

Nope, has LQ9 power (6.0L V8). The Tahoe was converted to a dually, this isn't factory. Still beast as hell.

I'll be brutally honest, I can't stand most of this cars, like the GT0, your galant and Grand Am look clean, and the tahoe is cool, but everything else is ugly IMHO.

Wait...6.0L gas engine and converted to dually...and that is a "beast?" Definitely would have been cooler and truly a beast with a Duramax honestly...but eh, different strokes for different folks thats for damn sure there...

The dually conversion wasn't too costly, since he did the majority of the work himself. (it's mainly an axle and driveshaft swap, then adding the flares)
That's a lot of work to swap gas to diesel, and is beyond his means. Not exactly cheap anyway. The LQ9 isn't something to scoff at either, it shares a lot with the LSx motors, and interchangability.

I am familiar with the dually conversion...have a few sled pulling trucks we have done that too.
LQ9 may not be something to scoff at for you, but then again you are talking about a gas engine pushing 5000lbs+ vs a diesel pushing the same weight...that thing would be straight insane then.
Personally I just won't even bother with a V8 gas engine unless it's in a car...wasted gas in a truck or large SUV
