Yeah I kinda like em,Light little car 2.8/3.1 V6 with internal design from the IROC Z28 and a downsized F-41 Corvette suspension.There are quite a few parts for the 60 degree v6, just enough to make rice think twice after they get a good view of my taillights.But not enough power to hang with an LS1.

yeah,it's actually over that but I'm not sure how much.It was my Dads and it feels brand new when you accelerate,he was a mechanic for 40 years and raced in the NHRA until about '85/86.I asked him what oil he used to get that kind of mileage,He said SAE 50 in the summer and SAE 30 in the winter.Racing oil,it has a detergent in it to keep it clean and to keep it from gunking up.So thats all I use now.(Kendall)
