Comments:

The car is a 100% bolt on with zero fabrication built on my garage floor with hand tools. There is nothing special and everything is readily available to duplicate the entire package.

The only sorting that has ever been done to the car is the breather system and moved to a 295 rear tire. Suspension has been unchanged since the car was built and only the rear swaybar has been adjusted.


1. Best above improvement: 5 speed and suspension

2. Least effective above improvement: New door panels

3. Next improvement: 295 front tire

4. Above car handles IMO on a 1-10 ( 10 best Z06, 1 yugo): 9.5 - just too heavy still
