As Mike McAdams discovered, your mailbox is a capable substitute for a speed shop when it comes to buying performance parts. Kathie Berardino, on the other hand, prefers the finished product-as in Mike Sullivan's awesome 454powered (and Porsche Guardsman Red-painted) F-body. Photography by Les Bidrawn.
