Pics of the 7, and the new Beater

Haha, The new beater specifications.

1 owner
2.8 L V-6
Curb weight: 2900 lbs.
0-60: 13.1 seconds
1/4: 23.3 seconds
Top Speed: 88 mph

$250

But I bet it lasts longer than the FD.

The color of the car really isn't that bad, in the pictures it looks hot pink, but is because of the flash. The real color is like the first picture, more purple, I can't explain it. I am starting to like the color better, but I am still going to paint it black or grey or silver. Also, who the hell paints a hood black when it is the stock hood, not carbon-fiber or lightweight?

agreed.....what color did the car begin life as? I'm guessing Vintage Red.

The car looks clean, just not sure the color suits it.

congrats on the beater

Good guess, Red. I wonder what the dumbass owner before me was thinking when he painted it?

I have some bills to pay off from modding the car, so whenever I get enough money. I have the receipt from where the owner before me painted the car, who would spend almost $4500 to paint an FD pink? The paint job is good as ****, but still, pink!

The pink and black is a Mopar throwback, well, at least, there were Challengers (or Chargers?) that came in a pink like your FD with a flat black hood, a friend of my dad's has one with a 340 six pack, 6 speed tranny, and a full body off resto. Clean car, and, its the only thing I can think of to explain why your car has the paint scheme it has.

I've never known corsica's to be the most reliable cars either so the 7 might out last it. Has your power steering started leaking yet? I've never seen a Corsica that didn't leak power steering fluid, of course I've only had 3 friends with corsica's.

I don't think it looks bad. My Wife would look hot as hell driving that, and she would probably like the color. It's just not something you would expect a guy to drive. Chicks in FD's are usually hot anyway, the pink would bring it out. The Wife gets tons of attention when she drives my FD.

want reliability, saturn SL2s are very reliable, other than the cracked torque axis mount i had, and leaking power steering, cost $300 to fix if i remember. But otherwise you can't say much with 11 years of plastic dentless door fury! I love the pink though, if it's not my FD, i agree with the other's if you can make it fast as **** than keep it pink. my friends 260 hp WRX got beat by a red ZX5 focus with 4 people in it. He was so disgraced after that, especially since the driver was some older dude. I'm sure it would be 10 times worst for people that underestimate a pink car.

I don't know, it is like Hot pearl Magenta or something. I don't whether to like it or hate it. Everyone one that sees me sure wants to race, especially the V8 guys.

Whoever had the car before you needs to be severely beaten down for painting the car that color. Wow. Unbelievable.

I like the color a lot, but pink on a stock body FD looks weird. I would paint my FD pink in a heartbeat if I had the power to back it up ... but I dont so its staying blue

I agree, the paintjob is pretty good, though I don't think I'd personally select that as my color of choice. A black interior woud fit it better, but the gf would die if she saw a pink FD...I'll have to pass some of these photos on.
