I'm really looking forward to SVR this year. I'm hoping to have my trunk done before then so I can have Al and some other guys take a listen...I'll have to figure out if I'm going to stay longer than I did last year to catch some of you guys after competition concludes for the day.
I told and old grind I was going and he sent me this pic from 04 SVR I think. He had the Neon, you can barely see my Legend (r.i.p) in the back. That was my last comp.

Oof....that legend was my dream car when I was around 13-17....between that and a '96 Impala. It was the drug dealer's car of choice in the mid 90s down in southside VA. I used to see a champagne gold sedan with the gold trim package and limo tint driving around my hometown all the time...never saw the guy (or girl) but I do remember that he had a mean sounding system in it.
What did you have in that build?

I wind up winning my zone and some trips and manufacturers started asking if I was competing at finals and what equipment I was running.
We said screw it and threw a system together.
P9 setup, IDMax 12's IB, Utopias in the kicks, powered by Zapco 4.0 and 9.0.
Focals were given to me at the hotel the day before finals. Had about an hour of tuning just before judging, center was 4" off from pass seat and I knew subs could blend better. Got 2nd to the Focal Euro champ by .6 points.
Won SBN and SVR then it was totaled along with a customers car when a dodge pickup lost control and demolished it while parked. Pushed into the other car and totaled that too. Only equipment that survived was the Amps and DVD changer.
Look for Legends every now and then but want the 94-95 champagne edition with Acura Hammers and a 6 speed. Found 1 that was pristine but the woman wouldn't sell.
Just the Factory Tint for now. I just lifted it two inches with Flatout-coilovers and added a trailor mount spare tire holder. New wheels and Tires too.
Oh well, I wont tell if you won't, look forward to listening.
That sounds pretty awesome and a hell of a story. Hell of a placement for something that you had little to no time to truly dial in. Shame what happened to it.....I had a period in about 2005 when I was seriously looking at a few Legends in the Richmond area but couldn't make myself pull the trigger. Marriage and the potential for children put the brakes on that....in hindsight given how things went...I should have just bought that and the damn Impala lol. Thanks for sharing the story.
