Domestic drivers

Show me wat you got
I know there's some American cars on here.
Show em off!

There is already a few threads for domestics to show off but Ill always show domestics some more love. I rock a 2008 Cobalt LT right now and I have only owned domestic cars and trucks. I am working on getting a 91 Camaro drag car too...

I'd keep away from buying someone elses project deffintly when it comes to a 3rd Gen they hide rust pretty well let alone the things that need to be setup properly. I'm sure Hickrocket could tell you the same thing. Mine nothing but a empty frame with no front end on the car. Even the dash is out there so much extra junk in those cars its retarded. I pulled out 30-50+ pounds maybe more of hiddin electronics an A/C behind the dash that werent even hooked up anymore.

2000 Ford Escort ZX2. It's currently under the knife getting some much needed performance upgrades.

Here' it is before the current build.

Good choice. :cool:

Here's mine. Most of the work on it came as is when it was bought. Didn't want to have to sink the money into it. When it was bought it was set up as street/strip. Now it's set up for strip but I want to put it back on the street but still use it mainly for drag racing. Just a little 383. Here's the ass end. Still has more in it with a little tweaking I'm sure. Just don't want to ad a rollbar.

It's hard calling them domestics.... to my anyhow. Example - Mexico for castings, timing chains France, gaskets from all over the world, ECM China, sensors all over the world. Granted they are an American based company, but its sad how little of it is here, but at the same time Ford is the greenest car company, and the sad part is of the big 5 GM, Ford, Mopar, Toyota, Honda 96% of the USDM Toyotas are made, and built here in the USA

Dexter: How long have you owned that car? B/c I remember way back when I had a 4-door escort sedan, there was a kid that owned that exact car and had a mean system in it. Also here is my domestic, just your normal run of the mill 400HP Ls2 powered SUV....lol:

I've had my Escort since 2001 when I purchased it stock. Where and when did you see said escort? It could've been me or maybe another guy from MD that had almost the same set-up. He's parted his car out over the past few years though.

Very nice truck you've built. It looks like a lot of time and hard work went into it. I'd like to see a build journal for it.

Boosted grand-prix?!
