Race car
The Beater
| Dave does tuning, electrical, and pretty much a little bit of everything, with the exception of fabrication. Race car is the red 1990 Eagle Talon, and his daily driver is the silver 91 AWD Talon. He is the head of this operation. The red car is a FULL STREET CAR with complete OEM interior, and power everything, stereo, etc. It has everything but air conditioning and is driven regularly every week on the street in the same exact 600+ whp form in which it is sent down the track. | |
