Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Camaro SS post mortem

[Dave Mills (dmills]

I wouldn't get too wrapped up in the SLP mystique around this car, Tom. I'd
consider $10K way high for such a car unless it had been carefully packaged
up and never driven. It's a '96 Camaro. The Torsen LSD is nice, but other
than that, every SLP part has a better replacement, and that's generally
what most Camaro folks did - replace them with better parts.

Dave (presuming Jason will agree...)
