    Thumbs up JEGS Twin Turbo-Charged Pro Mod GTO SPY PICS!

    The much-anticipated public unveiling of Troy Coughlin's turbo-charged JEGS.com Pro Mod racecar will occur this week in Orlando, Fla., at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Trade Show. Coughlin's gleaming new 2007 Pontiac GTO will be on display throughout the PRI show at the Precision Turbo exhibit (Booth number 1633-1838) at the Orange County Convention Center, the site of this year's PRI show.

    Coughlin has plans to take his ride for its maiden voyage down the quarter-mile at the conclusion of the show in preparation for its 2007 debut in competition.

    2nd pass and a minor crash for the Turbo GTO

    From what I was told he took awhile to spool it up, heated the tranny & something started leaking. He got into his own stuff and tapped the wall, knocked off the nose & bent up a rim but nothing real serious.

    Metz did not build the car although he currently is a crew member on the team. Possibly crew chief as he was previously.

    My buddy Mike Reiss works at Metz performance and is a fabricator for the Jegs team in Ohio, he flys out almost every week to Ohio
    Used to drive an evo and had to fix it. Now drives an 07 Trailblazer SS and has Check Air Bag Lights. Cars disgust me.

    I had the same question but didn't the Jeg's team use the old Cutlass Supreme body style many years after 'its time'.....

    Metz has served as Troy's Crew Chief in Pro Street. He works with the Coughlins on a lot of projects.

    Brian just told me he's the Crew Chief on this project also.

    Damn cool.
