Project: Helix
From the showroom to the drag strip

Helix is a Red 2002 Pontiac Firebird powered by a 3800 series II 3.8L V6 motor. It will soon be supercharged by the RKsport Powerdyne unit with a custom intercooler setup. A 3" Borla exhaust system and Pace setter headers are installed.

Not only will it be fast, Helix will also stand out from the crowd with a WS9 Ram-air 2-port extractor hood, WS6 rear spoiler with a Wings West combat wing, a Wings West front air dam for the factory front bumper cover, and Combat kit side skirts from Andy's Auto Sport.

The interior will be almost completely re-done to remove the cheap appearance of plastic panels everywere, and accent lighting will be installed.
