Cool. I am picking up a cheap cheap 6.0L on Friday. We may need to employ the GRM Express to get yours. Work this time of year keeps me between Harrisburg and Maine.

Ahhh..NO. I have 2011 in PDF and will convert to excel and post the car types. I need to get 2012, 2007 and 1999 if anyone has them.

Just checked my back issues, and I've got the issues for $2007 and $2012 coverage. I've got a big deadline I'm working on for Tuesday, but I can post the list after that.

Hey GRM staff, I know you guys like to post choice back articles to the website. A full retrospective of all the challenges would be a pretty rockin' resource..

I transferred the '07 list to a notebook and just need to type it up. I'll have plenty of time to do it, and the '12 list, Sunday night on a red eye flight.

How about an early 2000's Buick Regal with the 3.8 supercharged motor? Has to be some suspension bits around for one of those things. You could tweak the motor too..

The Regal GS? There are suspension parts for them out there. And the 3800 makes plenty enough snot in stock form. The problem is the transmission is a little bit of a glass jaw.

I've been looking for a list like this. Would be interesting to see what's been popular (Mustang/Miata/etc) and what's never been seen...

When the results were posted, it included the cars originally registered. I don't know what year GRM updated the results with the actual cars that showed up. IIRC you registered a 73 Nova and brought an olds in 2004. 2004 list was corrected.

That might actually work ok on a first gen, RWD, double wishbone up front, I forget how the rear axle is located but it's on coil springs. Has that Mazda F motor everybody raves about eating boost.
