Green Bay, WI (MMD Newswire) September 22, 2009 -- Designed to compete with today's supercars, the Jim Wangers Signature Edition GTO, built by Big 3 Performance, Green Bay, WI (www.big3performance.com) is all-new from the ground up. Constructed on a new chassis from the Roadster Shop (www.roadstershop.com), and fitted with a DSE C6 Corvette front suspension, a triangulated rear suspension and sporting Jim Wangers Signature Edition Wilwood brakes at all four corners, this car is built to handle the most demanding road courses.
The car is powered by a Butler Performance (www.butlerperformance.com) 505-CID fuel-injected traditional Pontiac V8 backed by a Viper spec TR6060 6-speed transmission connected to a 3.73-geared Ford 9-inch rear end. The Jim Wangers Signature Edition Rally II wheels, by HRE (www.hrewheels.com) are 19x10-inches up front and 20x12-inches in the rear.
Utilizing original 1969 GTO bodies, the styling is updated with an aggressive front air dam, custom grilles with electric hide-away headlights and HID headlamps. A custom, fully functional RAM AIR hood, directs air to the big 505. The rear design features a custom ducktail spoiler, flush bumper cover, custom LED taillights and a blacked out rear panel.
The fully custom interior is designed for both function and comfort. (www.a1autouph.com) It is built around a set of full power, heated and cooled leather Recaro seats with fully custom matching seats in the rear. Complete instrumentation provides the driver with critical performance info at a glance. Full power and a keyless entry system, plus a killer audio system with touch screen navigation (www.extremeaudio.biz) and air conditioning make it a state-of-the-art comfortable cruiser. This is the car Pontiac should have made but didn't. The completed car will be on display during the TOUR DE WANGERS, October 17/18 at Wangers' headquarters in Oceanside, CA for media coverage and road testing.
