tried to comment earlier but something was messed up with my connection...ok....let's try again...this car sux bigdaddy donkey dicks compared to what you can buy on the market....if you want something that goes fast in a straight line buy an american big block for a fifth of the price,,,,if you want fast around the corners buy a porshe 911 and tune it to the max for way less than half the price....if you want a fast autocross/scca type car buy either a minicooper , a 280z, or a mazda miata and do suspension/supercharger upgrades to the hilt for way less than half the price....my brother and I are into American muscle a little bit ...him with 2 Novas (one does high 13's completely stock/agressive cam) and me with a 67 C-10 (400 small block, 400 turbo trans, with a 850 double pumper eldebrock) ....16.5 is nothing in the quarter...for the price of this car you could buy 2 really hot cars (and one really reliable car) that would blow the doors offa this one....i just think you like the fact that it's a station wagon so you and your boyfriend can scrogg in the back
