Local pizza joints near my BUY the cars used for delivery. So you don't use your own car...you use theirs with their logo all over it.

One has a couple Smart Cars. Those things are funny when they pull into your driveway. You have all the normal sized vehicles in your driveway...and this little phone booth looking thing with Pizza logos all over it!

I worked at a Pizza Hut a couple of years ago in a very nice part of town (Towne Lake if anyone lives in the Atlanta area) and I worked with an older guy who was probably one of the nicest guys I have met. We got into talking about cars etc . . . and really became good friends. Found out his wife is some vp at Kaiser Permanente and he used to be a lawyer, they own several rental properties basically multi-millionaires but you would never know it just by looking at him. He "retired" from "protecting the guilty" and drove some mid 90s accord. He took the job at his local pizza hut because he was friends with the owner in high school and they literally couldn't find anyone to be a driver, it was me this guy and 2 other guys delivering and making the pizza.

At any rate, he bought a Ford GT and brought that to deliver pizzas one night Did one of the fattest burn-outs I have ever seen leaving with two pizzas that night. BTW he did layer down the passenger seat with a blanket and a beach towel.

Have always loved SVOs before I got my vert I had a chance to get a blue 86 and could have picked it up for 1800 running and drivable. 1 of 69 in that color. Every so often I punch my own balls for not doing it.

Its ok, not as quick but my first car was a 84.5 GT350 Hatch and I loved that car. It was 100% stock with only 22K on ir and was flawless. Sold it for $2200 in 91
Still think about that car and how dumb I was. My parents both had 84 GTs and I thought mine was in an accident and they forgot to paint the black on the hood.

Yes pizza delivery does. Grease soaks through the boxes, makes your car smell like pizza. I did it a few times in a cavalier for the hell of it and I'm glad I stopped.

That could most likely be avoided by not just putting the pizza box on your seat. Don't they also have those handy little pizza warmers, wouldn't they keep the grease and smell in? I'm not in the know on pizza delivery, but I think if some caution is taken, it won't hurt a car at all!

Lets not forget about the Hurst Shifter, Recaro Seats, T3 Turbo, Air Intercooler, Koni Shocks Struts and Quad Shocks, Early ones even had traction bars, Bi plane spoiler, I am sure I missed a few things but they are very unique little cars..... and most dont know about the prototype (250 - 280 HP)

Ok, so i have a good friend that has a highly modified SVO....and yeah he hands lots of cars their asses...he just ran a 10.80 here in COLO with it.......there is a lot of potential in those lil' 4 bangers...

all i can say is when that thing is at full boost it feels like you're on a sport bike.......

I'd love to build a 4cyl turbo fox but it seems like for the same $ you could turbo the 5.0

Yup, there is a sweet one in Dallas making 471 rwhp and is just so nice. Another nice thing is the uniqueness of it. I could say the red GT with xxx hp and the local croud would ask which one. I say the xxx hp SVO and everyone knows exactly which car.

Anyway, when I used my Vette I had one of them plasic sheets (for small childrens beds) on the seat and set the box on that and then a towel over the boxes so it wouldnt touch the door or center console. Also if it wasnt raining then I had the targa top off too.

Haha thats what I do for a living is pizza delivery! You rack up a ton of miles on your vehicle doing it. I have to change my oil like every month at least, and yes it does make your car smell, there is nothing you can do about it, ive tried everything

I got my motor and tranny for $150..... most guys on turboford.org use junkyard parts and have some nasty cars. They make good toys. My buddy Buff ran a 12.26@111mph.

Didn't know pizza delivery was bad for cars... In that case I would prefer to see the owner in something else than an SVO, but if that is the only way he can afford the car, he gets my approval!
