It’s great when you are looking to buy a stick-shift car. Half the sales people out there either look at you funny, or are frightened by the prospect that they might have to move the car. :lol: ---

aparently my SHO is supercharged stock and everyone points to the alt (has happened a lot of times) a story from a friend. I was at advanced auto so i could buy a cap and rotor for my 94 integra and they said the cap was 6bucks and the rotor was ahhhhh $34. he looks at the screen and he looked up a brake rotor. COMMON YOU WORK IN A PARTS STORE. the SHO revs to 12500 rpm stock and was used in a formula race car. GM makes good cars. I point to my saturn and procede to smoke the parking lot out… no they don’t. ---
