    What the hell ever happened to the Thrasher GTX? Yeah I know they ended up crushing 'SoLo' but what did they do with this one?

    If I remember correctly someone on ClubGP went through the trouble of finding it's location and actually getting a hold of them with plans to buy it, only to be told it was crushed one week before he called.

    That was one of the first GTX's made back when Thrasher was working with Pontiac. They used it for publicity and to submit to magazines. I'm fairly sure either Thrasher still owns it, or Pontiac got a hold of it somehow.

    In either case it would be nice to find out becuase Pontiac and Thrasher both have a history of crushing these cars.

    When companies build custom car prototypes, they crush the cars so they can't be sold and then blamed for deaths or injuries caused by a big company building these unsafe or unusual cars. I watch a lot of powerblock/trucks and spiketv shows and they had an episode about all the cars they built and crushed. It's basically to cover their asses in the corporate world.

    all turbo cars sound the same. not many people have the blower whine.

    and besides, nothing beats a 2.55 on a plugged up (silencing holes) m90.

    my favorite part of the solo was the rolldown rear windows, thats ****ing titties.
