Was built as a fast cruiser, not setup for drag racing but wouldn't take much to do so. Has much larger springs all around with Bilstein shocks rides well and has much less of the boat feeling these G body cars had stock. Power windows and locks, tilt steering. Uses an obd2 port to power a small gauge package that has many different display options.
Car has a couple small rust spots on the rear lower fender, otherwise is rust free.
Looks like a granny car but flat schools Vettes, Vipers, Mustangs, Camaros, etc on the road. Even still has a column shifter to maintain the illusion. Incredibly fast car that is alot of fun.
made 462hp, 546tq at the tire, 614hp at the crank. 91 octane pump gas, conservative tune on a Mustang dyno.
