Vehicle Description
Known as "Code Red," this one-of-a-kind Trans Am is the ultimate
Pro-Touring machine and a proven autocross participant. The idea
was a collaboration of well-respected Jason Rushforth and Bob
Bertelsen. The car was shown at SEMA and was the Goodguys Muscle
Machine of the Year finalist. It competed in multiple autocross
events, including Goodguys, the Optima Challenge and the Baer Speed
Stop Challenge. It was featured in Popular Hot Rodding magazine,
Amcar magazine and on the American Muscle Cars calendar, which are
all included. "Code Red" has been used for many company
advertisements, such as American Autowire, Flex-a-Fit, Livorsi
Automotive and Mast Motorsports. Countless hours were invested in
the body modifications that make it truly unique. The custom work
includes the hood, front nose, fenders, doors, quarters and rear
end. It was finished in Viper Red with Storm Charcoal accents. The
paint is absolutely spectacular and was recently ceramic-coated
with Gtechniq Platinum Protection. All of the exterior Pilkington
glass is new and tinted. Some exterior custom features include hood
heat extractors, grille, turn signals, front spoiler, functioning
brake ducts molded into nose, fender vents, door handles, LED
taillights, gas filler and rear bumper. The car has a killer stance
on Rushforth "Night Train" wheels that are 18x10 up front and 19x12
in the rear with Nitto Invo tires. The beautiful tan and gray
leather custom interior was done by Appleman's Interiors. The
headliner, fiberglass dash, console, door panels and rear package
tray were upholstered, along with the Pro-Car seats. Some of the
interior features include a Mito Corp rearview mirror with temp and
compass, gauge cluster inspired by the Nissan 350Z, Livorsi gauges,
Ididit tilt steering column, custom dash vents and knobs, Vintage
Air system, custom steering wheel, Twist Machine paddle shifters,
driver's remote mirror control, billet door handles, cup holders,
power windows, Phantom push-button start, DTS Cadillac shifter,
Billet Specialties pedals and Simpson 3-inch Cam-Lock seat belts.
It's equipped with a modern sound system, including a Sony 7-inch
head unit, Kenwood amplifier, four Alpine speakers and two Kenwood
subwoofers. The trunk compartment was also upholstered in leather
to match the interior. It has a sliding storage compartment and
battery cutoff knob located behind the main panel. The painted
engine compartment is highly detailed with many upgrades
throughout. The firewall and inner fenders were smoothed for a
clean look. It has a custom cowl cover, core support, wiper motor
cover, coil pack covers and Ringbrothers hood hinges. The car is
powered by a Mast Motorsports LS 416ci V8 with 575hp and 540 ft/lbs
of torque. The engine is coupled to a Bowler-built 4L80E automatic
transmission with Bowler 2,200 rpm stall torque converter and
transmission cooler. The power is transferred to the Chassisworks
Fab 9-inch True-Trac posi-traction rear end with Moser aluminum
center section, Moser 31-spline axles and Motive 3.75 gears. The
engine is cooled by a Flex-A-Lite aluminum radiator with dual
electric fans. The engine breathes through Sanderson headers and
2.5-inch H-pipe exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers. The
painted undercarriage is also highly detailed throughout with many
upgrades, including a stainless-steel fuel tank. It's equipped with
a PSC close-ratio power rack & pinion steering system. The front
suspension system is a Detroit Speed Engineering front sub-frame
assembly, including control arms, coilovers and sway bar. The rear
suspension system is Detroit Speed Engineering 4-link with
coilovers. The power braking system consists of Baer 14-inch discs
with 6-piston calipers in the front and Baer 13-inch discs with
6-piston calipers in the rear. This vehicle has been recently
serviced and detailed, including Gtechniq Platinum ceramic coating,
which is all documented with an invoice that is included. From the
MS CLASSIC CARS Collection.
