Not if you live in the People's Republic of California, and have a manual trans, but glad to see you are dusting off some respectable cars.

What are your 60ft times? Are you running a 4t65e-hd transmission?

What about a cam or intercooler?

I really want to get mine to the track this year. I think its been about 3 years now.....

60' times are 1.74 on all season performance radials!
4t65e - HD Tranny with a low dollar rebuild about 500 passes ago. Bullet proof in the high 11's.
NO intercooler as I have liquid intercooling --- E-85, the best thing that ever happened to the M90 supercharger.

Agreed- I think it is one of the quickest cars/per dollar spent that you can do that is durable and can be easily daily driven!
