Featured Car - Craig DeForest's 1987 Turbo Regal

Not another black car ...

Craig affectionally calls this uniquely colored TR, GNxXx. The stock motor shows the power of bolt ons, by belting out consistent 11.50s with no internal work.

Craig bought the car from a good friend and performed a total restoration to bring it to the level you see here. Craig says that he loves the TRs due to the great people involved with them (and it doesn't hurt that he can stomp big blocks at the track with his quiet little street car!)
