the previous owners kept it in AMAZING shape, on ly thing done was a throttle body replacement, interior looks totally out of the factory brand new. and my girlfriend loves the red leather, haha. first mod on the list: a new headunit, next up: the magnaflow.

does anyone have the link to the magnaflow for 350 or was that just a one time thing? thanks

Welcome to the forum young dude. My first car was a 1972 Saab 99

Take care of this car and don't race it or mistreat it. Just cruise!

GPS speed/location tracker??? You might as well save yourself a lot of anxiety and just hand over your keys to your Dad right now.
By the way my "girlfriend" loves the cedar/slate interior too.

Congrats, young man -- and a very happy and lucky one at that. What a first car. This is my first sports car and I'm 46. Been driving SUVs the last 15+ yrs -- still have one but caught the bug on this one... Enjoy. I'm won't say don't drive fast. That's about likely as my dog never running.

Lead foil over the GPS antenna ! I probably shouldn't have said that.

Dad will be getting a few emails ... that car is going to insist on doing 10 or more over ... you're going to have to get a pretty firm grip on the reins or Dad's email will get overloaded ...

Actually, while you don't really want to hear me say so, his doing so isn't a totally bad thing ... it's going to force you to learn good habits that will extend the life of both you and your car ... sorry, but I AM pretty much in your dad's corner on this one ...

Oh, and by the way, you might want to check out my thread on ANSA mufflers ... do some compare and contrast with Magnaflow and maybe save a buck or two that you could use in paying off one of the speeding tickets you'll all but certainly get .... or, if you can successfully avoid doing so, give you some $$ to spend on other mods ...

have a good one ...

A friend of mine who used to live in VB once told me that the sailors had an old saying about the girls in Norfolk ... maybe you've heard it ?

A little while back we had some Dad talking about maybe getting a Crossfire for his son. He was looking for advice and such. Said he might put in a top speed limiter of some sort on it. This wouldn't have been your pop would it? If so, might be a hoot for you to find the thread and read it. Cool dad, if it was yours.
