BRAGGING RIGHTS: On the left column. The horsepower numbers are now estimates of all the current mods listed up top. And so it doesnt match the STOCK 1/4 time, just so you know. Ill have to go out to the track and update my 1/4 some day.

***End of Quick Reference***

Well after a 2 years of waiting and searching, i finally got it on July 8, 2002. I love this car, and i'm so happy i got it.

It only has 34800 miles on it, thats how much it had when i got it, i put about 200 to take to 35000. This car is always garaged kept, and will be as long as i have it. Its got the 5.7 350 V8 engine, digital dash, with black interior.

Its never been in any accidents, worse thing was i think a dent in the passenger side door which was replaced, and repainted. Other than that, just the usually wear and tear. But let me tell u this car is basically mint, no joke.

The car right now is stock, nothing changed, other than tinted windows. But as we all know, these cars dont stay stock forever....:).

My mods in mind for the winter while its garaged are, headers, hi-flow cat, catback exhaust system, cold air induction, intake runners, thermostat, performance chip, and throttle body.

Well here some pics for now, hope u guys like it.

A nice top down view here

I just got my car appraised at Classic Autos about 2 weeks ago, and i must say i'm happy with the results. It got appraised at $9,400 - $10,900
More than i paid, plus now i'll get top dollar for it from insurance if for some unlucky reason the car would be stolen or wrecked.

*Update 12-05-2002*
Well no more driving this car anymore, were getting pounding by snow here in Michigan. And no way in hell my car is ever gonna touch snow, or salt!

I'm hoping at least to have a full exhaust, headers, and CAI in before spring. Its just that money is tight now, and things are moving slow, damn i wish i was $$$$rich$$$$. Oh, and i'm gonna try and get it some more interior and engine bay pics, since the ones i got are small. Should get them within a few days.

I finally took my car to the track about a month or so ago. My goal was to hit 14s with bone stock car. Well my first run wasnt all that great, i think it was 15.5. After a few more runs, and a little better launching i managed to hit 14.9. Very happy

Best run, bone stock
60ft 2.097
1/4 MPH 91.80
1/4 ET 14.97

*Update 12-07-2002*
I just got some more pics on the engine, which is stock, and the interior. I'll start a new page on that.
