I bought this car in October 2009 to daily drive. I wanted something fun that I also didn't have to tote a big note on like my GTO and then the truck. I found this car locally for $8,000 and it was an original owner car with 101,000 miles on it in nearly pristine condition. The previous owner even gave me the window sticker from when he bought the car brand new off the lot.
My main priorities with this car are to keep is as reliable and streetable as possible. It has a very street-friendly clutch setup, and all the mods that I'll make will be done with those priorities in mind. It'll never be the best handling car or make monster power, but it'll move and shake better than stock for sure and be a great daily. I basically want to build the car GM should have from the get-go.

Some form of audio upgrade to get iPod capability and satellite radio in the car, most likely an upgraded head unit, JBL coaxials or Alpine Type-R components, and a JBL 8" GTO sub in a driver's side stealthbox for a small, lightweight, but effective setup
Some form of adjustable ride height suspension so that I can set the ride height where I want it, that also offers increased handling and a more comfortable ride...either the Edelbrock IAS coilovers up front with IAS shocks and modded springs in the rear, or the Universal Air Aero Sport air bags over the Bilsteins up front with bags in the rear with Bilsteins as well
Down the road an ATI Procharger for a little extra kick while still maintaining stock driveability

Haha, yeah it is. Thanks again for a great deal on it. I cleaned it up really good and have already had three people tell me it looks like it rolled off the showroom floor. They couldn't believe it had 100k miles on it. Stay tuned...already have a lot of
Nice Ride
