Oddly, I see those on California CLs with a fair degree of regularity. How's it actually drive? Those cars have always fascinated me.

Unless I'm mistaken, the 6000 STE uses the same brakes as an 88 Fiero. At least the same pads. Possibly the Grand Prix STE, as well?
The 6000 had steel calipers that were otherwise identical to the Fiero's aluminum calipers.

The 3.1 was fun in cars I've had, a Turbo would be very FUN!

The STEs - at least some years of the 6000 STE - had different brakes. Possibly only the AWD versions.

I was going to post last night and say we'll never know. But things have suddenly changed!
So, why did Thunderstruck GT get voted off of the island? I don't know what led to it in the first place, but I'm glad that Thunderstuck has had his banishment reversed.

Either you are well connected or you have a lot of free time to walk around peaking in everyone's barn when they aren't looking
I'm going to have to start poking my head in people's barns!
