1975 Chevrolet Vega GT review from North America
"Head turning GT"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have with the car aside from its lack of power is that it drinks oil, and it smokes pretty bad, probably due to years of setting. The only other problem I have is all my friends want to ride in it!
General comments?
Great little car! For a 4 cylinder it runs pretty good, I've added an exhaust system to it and it sounds great, removing the old catalytic converter helped give it a little more power. I have added a Blaupunkt stereo and speakers and I am very impressed by them, huge difference over the original single speaker with an AM radio. I've had many people ask me about it, quite a few of them asked to buy it. Nearly every time I drive it I manage to turn a few heads, makes me feel like I'm driving an expensive car, but its far from expensive. I plan on swapping the engine for a v8 or a 3.8 v6 turbo (Buick Grand National engine) to give it more power, but for now it gets me around.
