It was an engine away from being a decent car. I do commend it for lasting ~6 years until the week I was flying down to Pensacola for AOCS before it's head gasket went. The timing was perfect. My dad asked if I wanted it repaired or disposed of...I told him to go with the latter...lol It had no power, drank about a quart of oil a month, but it handled well. I remember seeing a shootout in C&D where it was pitted against 6 other cars in it's segment. It was the slowest to 60 and the quarter mile, but finished 3rd in the slalom.
