Does anyone know anything about this car?

As I am pondering whether to repair my bent 86 Coupe GT, I ran across this 84 that looks interesting and was wondering if anyone knows the car. It's distinctive because of the flared fenders and the...

Re: Might be picking up a CGT. General things to look out for?

If you're going to get one, get one in as good condition as you can afford, because you'll likely want to keep it a lot longer than you'd imagine. Low mileage, minimal rust. At 160k mine's starting...

Re: You don't want the window to go down.

Actually in the picture, which was taken I think at Brainerd, I have 15" Speedlines with Victoracers which is my typical track combination. I actually use my stock 14" Ronals for my snow tires...
