Yep that would be the first clue.

Reyna1...I bought the car completely stock back in 2002 with 9k miles on it.

Since then I've added a Magnacharger SC ...a higher flowing air intake system...blower cam...headers...high flo cats...a cat-back exhaust and 3:90 gears. The car was also lowered. It also has bigger injectors...and a few other parts to support the higher horsepower.

If I had to do it again I'd probably not have put the 3:90's in...I would have gone with 3:73's or even stayed with the stock 3:42's. The stock gears started giving me issue so I needed to make a change and got a deal on the 3:90's.

It's not a race car but it is a pretty fun "hot street car".

Thanks.

Thanks. Well if you drive it normal...what (?!?!?!?) it does get in the upper 20's on the highway.

Got a about 28 mpg on the highway when it was stock. 6th gear had no power and was basically an overdrive...around 1500 rpm lugging along at 70 mph if I remember correctly.

Now if you play hard it's not so great but still not as bad as most would think.
