Lusty performance disguised as a phone-company fleet car. Sounds like the best stuff going for it is the neat red dials and the Corvette motor. 14 flat at 102 in the 1/4 mile. Moved the gas tank to the trunk. Bet that opened it up. Not quite 2 tons. Yeah thats a step in the right direction. Broken parts? Battery tie down. Stop lamp WAS held in by PLASTIC screws. Broken. A/C swithing on and off. Control button died on the passenger seat motor. hrs on a front end machine to align the front end. Right off. Got a neat rest reminder that pops up every two hours. Best thing about that car is that they only plan to make it for 3 years. GM could have done better. Or maybe not.
