i was referred to this site by a link to his mighty modness 3x00-modified's big brake swap that was posted on v6z24.... since that day i have browsed the board extensively as a guest, but it didnt feel right to sign up like i wanted to (because i dont own a beretta) until now. Its given me a whole wealth of information, and archived and stickied topics are that way for a reason, unlike some other boards...
anyways, the reason why it seems alright now is because of what i ran across the other day, on a tour of the automotive building of the school which ill be starting at this fall. it was an Indy Beretta. now im sure it could be a replica, but from what ive gathered on this board (and feel free to correct me if im wrong), not one of the replicas were convertibles.
the beretta is parked in the front hallway of the automotive building, along with 2 vipers, a prowler, an acura rally car, an old fire engine, and a one-off prototype of a 6x6 dodge ram. whats really depressing is all the cars are donated, and as a condition of the donation the school HAS TO crush the cars if they ever need to be gotten rid of
...the two trucks i didnt get pics of i ran out of time but i will be sure to put them up.
my point is even tho the beretta is less powerful, less expensive bla bla bla etc etc, it caught my attention more than any of the others. i think this has to do with the fact that i own a 94 base cavalier sedan (which will one day have a 3400 crammed down its throat
), and as a result know alot more about gm fwd cars than any other make/drivetrain setup, and we like what we know about right? One of the cars on the list of those which i have to hav in my life is a beretta; my dad had 2 of em through my childhood, and a beretta was the first car i ever drove (he doesnt know of course, he would send me out to start it while he got ready for work and i would take it around the block 
).
other plans for my car also include some beretta parts upgrades, including a rear axle assy (with disc brakes of course), so i hope yall dont mind a few possibly noobish questions over the next few years
