GM then relocated the tank between the trunk and the rear seat back, loosing about 1/2 of the trunk space in the process. The space you’re left with is mostly useless, especially since they used those typical GM trunk hinges that intrude completely into the space.

is it possible to swap the AU tank in or did they change the sheet medal?

It didn’t meet crash test safety standards and you want to relocate it back to the unsafe location? :lol:

They changed a ton of stuff. A bunch of people on the GTO forum have talked about it but I think only one has done it, and it was a major job. Then there was debate about if it would even be covered by insurance in the event of a crash (my guess was no if the crash involved a fire).

I doubt any insurance adjuster would know to look that closely

Personally I’d rather have a 911 over a boxster. But I would totally have a boxster over a vette.

Figure if random passerby’s are gonna think you’re a douche based on what you drive and the associated stereotypes: then you may as well drive the Porsche so they’ll at least think you’re a douche with money.

Roadster.

Everyone thinks that a roadster is a chicks car. But 99% of them have never driven one.

That being said, my boyfriend fits perfect in the seat next to me in the Miata :gay:
