Any of them would be cool but I'd never drive it except for club meets & stuff.

And the El Camino is basically a Chevelle.

My older brother has a '57 Ranchero.

That is a 58. My 58 Custom 300 was exactly the same down to the molding except it was a two door sedan.

Hey guys, I was putting a unichip on my car and the website says it can unlock up to 100 wheel horse power. Is that true? Someone on the Facebook group was trying to tell me these cars have the same motor as the WRX. If that's true, is it reasonable to get 300whp? What kind of supporting mods should I get to go with it?

I put two chips in and got an easy 400HP. I can tell because the car feels so much faster.
I heard it is a boxter engine the same as a Porsche and Subaru just pus their own name on it. All Subarus use the same engine they just down tune them for the other cars.

Woah that's great to hear! I'll see if I can get some Porsche badges and do a swap.

Hey Dudes, like all this talk about chipping the engines made me wonder, you using Lays or Pringles? I suppose some store brand might work but I like going mainstream...

teddy bears work better.



dual induction setups have required specialized tuning that haven't had the results that justify the initial setup costs. rabbits spool faster, but have a much lower output, even after doubling.
