"Best sedan ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced alternator 2 times.
Rplaced struts.
Rplaced battery from letting it sit all summer.
General comments?
Car was given to my brother form my grandpa, now I drive it. Handles very well and is very powerfull for a sedan. 170-HP 220 lbs. tq. I used a GPS at the track to clock it at 115MPH. 0-60 13sec. 1/4 mile @ 19 sec. (manualy shift from 1st to 2nd to "D" to "OD" for best acceleration) 1/4 mile @ 21 sec leaving it in "OD". Exhaust is straignt piped and has a nice low powerful sound.
