The car is in very good shape for the year, I’m sure some people can vouch for it.

it’s tuned on 21psi by none other than Mr. Gary Burch. I have no doubt in my mind it could take some more, but I drive the car almost every day, so it’s perfect where it is. Gary is the man. he’s done a lot of work on this car for me, so major props to him.
believe it or not, even though I have quite a few mods done to it, I have rarely beat on it. it’s been to Lancaster maybe twice (I don’t like drag racing very much), and I have only done thruway pulls a couple times. no track days, no auto-x, and I pretty much drive like a granny and just enjoy it.
I’ve had this car almost 4 years now and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, even during “DSM downtime” cuz that just meant time to upgrade. it’s been stored as soon as the snow hit the ground since I got it in '05 and was originally from out of state. Currently has no known issues and runs better now than it has since I got it.
Also have:
stock 16" swirlies w/ fairly new tires
stock brakes
stock 95-96 side skirts
stock hood
cyclone intake manifold
extra set of tails (blacked out turn signals, smoked brake lights)
I have a bunch of extra parts that I can’t think of right now, but if they come to me I’ll post them, and without saying they would be included IF I decided to sell.
Once again, this is more of something just to satisfy my curiousity, but offers are definitely welcome.
Feel free to pm me or post with any questions.
Thanks,
-Sal
