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
