Comments:

Just wanted a fun car to drive, previous owner in 2nd "gas crisis" 1980? yanked 361 V8/727, and installed the 273/4 speed, I just took it a step further and like the results so far



1. Best above improvement: "1.02" TB and Firm Feel Box #2, (#3 would be next time)

2. Least effective above improvement; Subframes

3. Next improvement, Discrete front end aero tricks, rear discs, front discs to 1.25" width

4. Above car handles IMO on a 1-10 ( 10 best Z06, 1 yugo): For what it is, 8.2


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
