I have a 91 and have driven it 130 miles round trip everyday for the last 2 years. It has over 110K and all she requires is normal maintenance.

The sport seats in my '94 are quite comfortable. I drove mine over 3,000 miles this past March, all the way to Key West and back, and had no problems with seat comfort. The multiple adjustments (especially lumbar) offered by the sport seats make a big difference.

Octane requirement is 91 for a stock LT1, although in some areas, most stations don't sell 91. In that case, you can mix 89 and 93 in a 50/50 ratio, if you want to save some nickels.

Be well,

If however you have an hour long morning commute that consists of stop & go driving between 5 & 25 mph an auto will leave you much happier.

My 95 is my year round dd. It's very reliable & dependable but it is expensive to maintain and because of the age of the car, you will be replacing components on a semi regular basis.

Go for it!!!!!!!!!!
