Default Bavarian 1985

Hi everybody,

I imported my 1985 C4 2 years ago from Mexico to southern Germany.
Some stuff had to be done, mostly little L98 demons like sensors and stuff ) had to be done. The Vette is used for drag racing on occasion.
Driving this nice car is fun to do.
Some minor engine mods:
Open air filter lid
AC delete
AIR delete
Muffler delete
AFPR
ZEX 125 hp wet shot for the track

Run a best 13.16 at the quarter on spray with the 4+3 on Hoosiers.
Great cruiser, nice racer for a beginner like me.

Bye ! Erik

Welcome to the forum. What are some of the other cars participating. I see an early 60s Valiant in the background. I think it is so cool to find so many US cars in Germany.
Go Bayern go!

Hi,

thank you all. You´ll find hundreds of US-Cars ( older and the new ones ) here. A local monthly held meet counts around a 160 cars average. At the races you find all sorts of muscle cars. I´m sporting a 79 Trans Am for 30 years now. It bought it from a lady. She was at the US Army in Munich. The time she went back to the states I bought her car.

Here is my wife in the Vette, me in the T.A. Always great fun
