Beretta with 300+ Horses

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: RollinLS

My little project:
3800sc 240 horses stock swap into a '91 Beretta GTZ. Only thing is, its not stock. Lots of goodies to many to list right now. Motor is from a '98 GTP. Had to use a shoehorn and some vasoline to get it into the enginebay.

The ram-air hood is fully functional. BMW e-36 headlights. Shaved front bumper. Last picture is parked with my LS at a local car show. Which my LS won its class.

She sounds like a real power house with a lot of hard work, I tip my hat to you. If i may suggest maybe a different paint job then you will really have everyone drooling

Few pictures of the interior. I ditched the factory seats. The backseats are gone. Four-point RCI seatbelts. I sanded the dash inserts smooth then had them painted with a chrome treatment. I cut my own diamond plate floor mats. The purple twwed door panels are being redone in white leather to match the racing seats. I have a new fiberglass dash with a guage pod into it. i haven't installed the white-face guages or white-face HVAC yet. Waiting till the dash is painted.

I made the Z3 fenders, ram-air hood(actually made two ram-air hoods, one was stolen off the car at friends shop), and shaved the front bumper myself. The yellow primer hood is the second one. The grey primer hood was the first one that was stolen.
