i was the same way when i got mine. i came from a honda, and the fastest ive ownded was probably my northstar eldorado. but then i test drove my camaro and my definition of "fast" was changed forever. but when you look aroud this site you will kinda feel slow. lol fair warning. its rediculous the numbers these cars can put down. IMO i say eff the appearance and put exhaust, longtubes and a cam on/in! if its a DD go with a tr 224/224 112* and youll love it. also gears do wonders.
