+1 . If you supercharge the v-6 you MIT have a low 14 secound card if do right and spend alot of money MAYBE high 13.
SAVE YOUR MONEY for LS1. Stock 13s car with a few mods mid 12s

yeah I dont think i would end up supercharging it but i did read up on it and if i did it would run a mid 13s with a good tune and nos...

but i really like the car.. my mom bought it when it first came out in 97 and its the only one that iv seen that shade of purple...
i think i would probably just save up and look into doing a lt1 swap or somthing...
