In addition to improving Pontiac G8 performance a Spectre Performance air intake system will add to the look of the engine bay, and provide better engine sound

Following the discontinuation of the imported Pontiac GTO, General Motors was at it again in 2008 with another Holden rebadged as a Pontiac. This time however, Pontiac targeted the performance sedan market with a Holden Commodore based car known in North America as the Pontiac G8. The G8 was Pontiac’s first rear-wheel-drive full-size sedan since 1986. The G8 had an optional 6.0L V8, and in 2009 a GXP version of the G8 was offered bumping up power output to 415 horsepower from a 6.2L LS3 V8 engine. Sadly the Pontiac G8 model was short lived when GM decided to discontinue Pontiac as a whole.

Spectre Performance air intake system upgrade for 2010-2015 Toyota 4Runner 9002

Early Toyota 4Runner models weren’t much more than a Toyota Pickup truck with a camper shell on the back; however, subsequent generations have transformed the 4Runner into a mid-size semi-luxury SUV which still retains some of its original off-road capabilities. While most of the 4Runner’s competitors have switched to uni-body construction crossover SUV’s, the 4Runner still retains a body-on-frame design. Toyota offers an optional 4.0 L 1GR-FE V6 engine rated at 260 horsepower for 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 4Runner models. A 260 horsepower V6 isn’t anything to laugh at, but who wouldn’t want to bolt on a few more ponies?

Brandy Morrow Phillips’ husband Rob Phillips took his experience racing his 1969 Chevy C10 show truck into consideration when building Brandy’s C-10R

The Goodguys 6th Spring Nationals presented by Brown’s Classic Autos in Scottsdale, Arizona was Brandy’s first time competing in a Goodguys Autocross event in three years

Brandy Morrow-Phillips grew up around cars joining her father, who works in the automotive aftermarket industry, at SCCA and NASA events. Brandy began competing and attending driving schools after getting her license. In 2008 Brandy was given the chance to compete in several Spectre Performance vehicles as part of a marketing program for the company. Her diligence paid off in 2011 when she won her first Goodguys Autocross event at the 2011 Goodguys Nationals in Columbus, Ohio. However, in 2012 Brandy hung up her driver’s suit in favor of maternity clothes as she and her husband started a family.

The Goodguys 6th Spring Nationals presented by Brown’s Classic Autos in Scottsdale, Arizona was Brandy’s first time competing in a Goodguys Autocross event in three years. Not only that, but Brandy had flown into Scottsdale, Arizona for the Friday morning portion of the event from Jasper, Indiana. Brandy had been on site for the 48-hour Corvette build at the RideTech corporate headquarters as a representative for Spectre Performance. By the end of Friday’s events Brandy had been awake for nearly 24 hours straight.

Brandy Morrow Phillips’ best lap was 68.9 seconds, with a 1 second penalty added for knocking over a cone, and her final winning time was 69.901 seconds

Brandy Morrow Phillips spent the entire weekend giving spectators, and fellow racers, rides in the PCH Rods C10-R and could be seen giving autographs between runs

Come Saturday morning Brandy had gotten some much needed rest and she began to push the PCH Rods built Chevy C10-R faster with each lap of the Goodguys Scottsdale Autocross course. Brandy’s husband Rob Phillips took his experience racing his 1969 Chevy C10 show truck into consideration when building Brandy’s C-10R. His ideas culminated into a Chevy C10 with a heavily modified custom suspension set up. As Brandy’s driving improved over the course of the day Rob’s hard work and innovation was beginning to pay dividends. Brandy’s best lap was 68.9 seconds, with a 1 second penalty added for knocking over a cone, and her final winning time was 69.901 seconds. She was technically 5 seconds faster than her closest competitor in the truck class.

With this win Brandy is able to move into the Goodguys Autocross Pro Class. Brandy’s winning run in the Truck class was nearly 5 seconds slower than the winning Pro Class driver Kyle Tucker. This means she’ll have her work cut out for her to once again gain the top spot on the podium. However, Brandy certainly took consolation in the fact that her winning lap was faster than two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Al Unser Jr’s best lap in the Pro Class. While winning and moving on to the Pro Class was part of Brandy’s to-do-list this season, she has also taken it upon herself to help promote the sport of Autocross. Brandy spent the entire weekend giving spectators, and fellow racers, rides in the PCH Rods C10-R. In fact the list was so long that she didn’t have enough track time to take out everyone who signed up. Brandy has also made it a goal to get kids involved in racing. Between runs, kids can sit in the PCH Rods C10-R driver’s seat, take pictures with the truck, and get a hero card personally autographed by Brandy herself.

Brandy’s next race will be at the Goodguys 33rd All American Get-Together Autocross March 28 & 29 in Pleasanton, California.

Shiny Spectre Performance 2010-2015 Toyota FJ Cruiser air intake system 9002

The Toyota FJ Cruiser is a rugged retro styled SUV inspired by classic Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser models sold from 1960-1984. During development of the modern FJ Cruiser Toyota sourced many parts from existing models including suspension components used in the Prado, Hilux, Tacoma, and 4Runner. Also borrowed from the Tacoma, Tundra and 4Runner is the 4.0-liter 1GR-FE DOHC V6 engine giving 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 Toyota FJ Cruiser models 260 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque from the factory.
