I'm glad you're enjoying that car. You seem to have a different liking to that one as you did to the silver one.

You're in a similar situation that I'm in(comparing old blue to the Z). You took the silver one a LIT TLE too far and realized all that bs is NOT worth it. This car is a nicer one and definitely has a little more on the table to start with...powerwise.

LOL it's certainly 'been cool enough for hp. One of these days definitely see what she runs.

: take off that Mass sticker on the windshield yet? mine is still there, and I'll have owned mine for a year in August!

Thanks for your assistance.

See my other reply, the gain was .87

How much of a difference have u noticed in ur gas mileage after going to the 3.45s i just picked up my 92 auto vet and i gotta say i was a little disappointed with the off the line pickup, and was considering changeing the gears but i dont want to absolutely kill my gas mileage.
