Just picked this up yesterday. 25,000 miles on it. Not exactly a real “performance” car, but the 3.8 it torquey and hell, Motor Trend says it does 0-60 in 7.3 and the 1/4 in 15.5.

Thanks guys, appreciate the nice comments. > i like those…they are better if they had the 240hp supercharged motor. I agree 100%, but the supercharded Monte’s were out of my price range right now, and it got to the point where I needed a new daily ASAP. My wife commutes in our 01 ZX2. I normally drove my wife’s old 93 2.3L Mustang, but it’s basically falling apart at this point- in the past six months, I’ve replaced the alternator, water pump, leaking fuel rail, radiator, crankshaft position sensor (major pain in the ass), gone through three ignition control modules, and now it’s throwing belts because the tensioner is bad and can’t be adjusted. It’s been a good car over the years, but with 135,000 miles on it and new problems almost weekly it was time for something new and halfway decent. ---

Thanks again guys. My wife will KILL me if I start modding this heavily. I think I’m going throw a chip on it and a K&N in it and call it a day. Is the Hypertech programmer a good choice? You can get them for pretty cheap. ---

i’d say cut off that resonator and other junk in the exhaust, cai, and tune and it should be set!! the stock exhaust has what looks like 3 mufflers! soo much restriction. my dad wont let me mod his car at all! hahaha ---
