Great car! We just added a cam to one and picked up 40 rwhp over his old cam - they respond great to mods.

Nice find.

Pretty cool mod list. I have the monster stg3 clutch& i,m pretty sure the crankshaft end freeze plug is dripping on it again, but it still barks 3rd gear.good stuff.
I,m sure you like the ride quality & interior better than the camaro.
