What would you get instead?  For around $10K or so?

I'd




consider $10K way high for such a car unless it had been carefully

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...)

Well, heh, the Camaro didn't work out, coolant leak, could
have been intake manifold or bad head gasket, which would
have been around $1800.  Didn't want to take the chance,
especially since the car lot droids never once agreed on a
price, and after all the bitching, finally came down to what
I'd originally offered, but by then too many red flags had
been raised.  The guy, when placing the ad, told me "around
$10K" but when I went to test drive it on Saturday, the other
guy said $12,995.  ???  So, I drive it, then Monday talk to
the guy who placed the ad, he said that he'd had it listed at
$11,800 (??) and dropped it to $10,900 (??? again) and would
have to get with his partner (two head honchos).  So, he did,
and he got back to me and, without giving me a price, said
"We're not too far apart, only a few hundred dollars..." So
after all that crap, I really wasn't in a mood to alter my
decision and when they met the price, I told him that I
changed my mind, didn't feel right, and wasn't going to
pursue the deal.  Geez... Tom Tulsa P.S. The car was nice,
though...Torsen LSD, SLP optional exhaust system, Hurst
shifter...
