like a bat out of hell if you do it right!
for real though, they are economy cars that look cool. thats about it. i got 23 MPG in mine. the one thing the v6 community has over the v8 community as far as thirdgens go is the handling. 53/47 weight distribution = owns your v8 camaro on the autoX track. i miss mine allready. probably just sellers remorse. when it finances my new intake i think i will be less upset
EDIT!! HOLY CRAP! 4 cyl !?!?
that guy has no clue. it is ether a 2.5L "iron duke" 4cyl, or a 2.8L V6 (like mine). never was a 2.8L 4Cyl put in an fbody.
EDIT. upon close inspection of the photos i am prety sure that it is a 2.8 V6. it says "multi point fuel injection" on the bumper and i am prety sure the "Iron Duke" only came carburated i bet that add is gonna get mad attention with a "4cyl" listed. guy should have sobered up before he posted that. |

That's one reason I like my 3.1 with the 5-speed. All of my acceleration is in 1st and 2nd gear, though. After that it starts to not pull so hard. Gets good gas mileage. |

I kind of want an older 82ish 4banger bird. Just restore it to pretty much stock and through some stock style 16's on it.
Or swap in an ecotec 2.2 and push 25psi through it.  _________________
