Just do not get the 3.6L GDI engine, timing chain and carbon issues abound!

CTS-V is V8 6-speed only, the way all cars should be.
 Or at least the first gen is manual only, I think later gens offered an automatic.Or I can dump $1,500-2,000 into suspension for the Firebird and hope that makes me happy. Hmm... -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

You know money really is the answer to all of life's problems, if I weren't a total abject failure then I could just buy a second car and wouldn't have to sell the Firebird.

Which coil-overs are you looking into?
Also I'm not sure who I hate more, tuner fanboys or muscle car fanboys. They're both equally annoying in their own way. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Decided will keep the Firebird, after thinking about it I bought it for a reason and it took me forever to find one just like it which was exactly how I wanted one. That and it was so well maintained I think I'd have a hard time finding any other 21 year old car in such good shape. So when I have the chance I'll get the following since it should help the handling fairly significantly:

BC racing possibly. Like you said before all the Celica aftermarket suspension has dried up. -------------------- JDM Part King

$400 for a Matco box, must've gotten some kind of family deal or something.

You mean to say the Mazda's exhaust isn't enough of a soundtrack for you?

QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ Jul 20, 2017 - 12:17 AM) buy a celica box! You know over time and the more cars I've owned and driven the more I've come to appreciate it. The car's only real weakness is Toyota shafted us in America on engines, well that and now all the aftermarket suspension support has disappeared which is a huge shame. Maybe once the SS-III and GT-Four start making their way over I'll get another. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
