If anyone wants a crazy sleeper… swap in a 2.0L motor ($400-500) for 155hp on a 1700lb car. I’d do it but i already have a project 240 in the works.
History: My brother is the 3rd owner of this car. The second owner is a good family friend and the first owner is the friends uncle who only had service done by the Dealership. The only reason we had to do a CV axle replacement was because the boot was torn and it was warrantied and warranty still exist. Buyer will get all recipts we have.
