    Remove stock exhaust. Get the big dog exhaust from sccoa. It gives you 2 1/2” down pipes into high flow cat and a resonator with single 3.5” out and back to 2 2 1/2” Also swap the 2.73 rear end gear for a 3:31. The car will really come alive and still be very driveable. Do not go higher than 3:31 gears or first gear becomes useless and turns too many Rpms on highway.

    Very nice, and first year of the SuperCoupe. I believe 89 was the first year of gen10. I have a 97 I just restored, best riding car for the price. Keep that sucker stock!!!!

    This is awesome to see because I had considered buying this car and only walked away from it because the owner told me it had sat for the better part of 20 years and I wasn’t looking for that much of a project.
    Now the real comedy, I bought an 88 turbo coupe instead lol.
    I would really like to follow the progress of this car as I love the super coupes. I would like to know if we could speak outside of TH-cam if your open to that and maybe showcase our restorations together (if that’s what your doing with yours.)

    Great grocery getter. Looks like a brand new car. I would keep it stock. Maybe turn it into a racer someday.

    It looks like you’re trying to raise your social standing bubba. Normally your cars are rusty and all chewed out in the interior. This looks like a really nice cruiser.

    I drove an 89 SC in high school. Loved that car. I've never had a car since that was cooler! Let me know if you plan to sell it!!

    • @Sleeperdude

      That would be a cool high school car. I have a 90 model automatic supercoupe for sale right now in Tennessee

    those turbo v6s can make huge power
    there are a few 6-700 hp ones out there!
    PLEASE NO LS!

    • @bryanroupe8646
      @bryanroupe8646 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The guy from super coupes built one that made over 700hp. Rod/piston short block. Not sure what the rest of it consisted of.

    That electric brake system was changed out for traditional. You got lucky with that! Bolt pattern is 5X108

      I changed over my 90 anniverary SC using crown vic booster and master cylinder. Way cheaper. The 93 SC I had used a different more reliable system

  • @bryanroupe8646
    @bryanroupe8646 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My dad had one years ago and I'm pretty sure it has a odd bolt pattern. He went through a few head gaskets as well. If your wanting to make some power with it I would give super coupes a call. He could give you some good pointers. Guy is out of Northern Ohio.

      I think it would be cool to do a compound set up.

    If someone told you that one of these would do 140 mph in 3rd gear would he be telling the truth or be a liar?

    I think you should convert it to an electric supercar
