Down with the V-6...

[dhjenkins]

This guy's description is good for a laugh - and heartbreaking - at the same time.

It probably started out as a wimpy v-6 grandma car not a T. The vents are ok but I don't care for the body kit too much.

The car actually looks nice and clean to me, though I personally don't like all of that ground effects package on it..

There have been several guys in my area over the years that never really understood the turbo V6, and since it is not retard proof - blew the thing up by cranking up the boost with no scan tool, knock sensor, etc.. They swapped in a PAW 350 Chevy motor with a turbo 350 transmission and high stall GER convertor since "everyone" knows those 200r4's can't handle a V-8".

The car runs on 87 octane gas, and does low 14's in the quarter mile through the flowmasters. They seemed happy with their cars, since a carburated V-8 is what they were used to working on anyways.

Well then he obviously didn't spend the time to come to this site and get the real picture. Aside from the engine swap the car is ok.

This one:
"The car is not perfect but someone who wants a Grand National without the $10,000 plus price tag this is it."

This guy said he needed to sell it because his wife had a baby, but he would trade for a pro-street pickup? I love how these sellers can't afford the cars they got but can always trade up to something more expensive.
