"GM new model car that can GO!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Spark plugs fell down into headers and blew a couple of gaskets. cost a lot to fix that.

New starter put on with 77,000.

The battery post terminal is a headache.

General comments?

I love this car. it's a white coupe I have all windows tinted. 5% on backs 20% on fronts.

I just put a racing exhaust with 3.5 tip on it. added 10 hp.

Got a air intake for it. added 12 hp.

16" American racing rims 5 stars. very nice.

Low profile tires.

Only thing really wrong is that it is a hard car to put a decent sound system in. I have to run a separate battery and a capacitor just to be able to run a 1000 watt amp to a 18" sub.

Parts aren't too expensive to buy.

My car can hang with the best and get about mid 13's still got more performance parts to put on for more hp though.

13's haha.

13's Hahahahahaha surely you jest. 160 Hp and trust me your mods did not add up to over 20 HP, but OK 190Hp and 3300LB car will not result in 13s unless it is the 1/8th mile. You should be driving a Honda Civic I fear.

I have to agree with the previous commenter, as I have a 92 Cutlass Supreme, and while it's not slow by any means, a "mid 13s" quarter mile is just not going to happen with a Cutlass. Just for comparison, Consumer Reports got a 2005 Mustang GT to a 14.2s quarter mile, and a 6.0L new GTO also ran a 14.2. A Lotus Elise ran a 13.7, and a new 6.0L Corvette ran a 13.4, so I guess this guy's car could "run" with those cars.

Also, all those "performance" upgrades advertise these horsepower numbers so they will sell more junk. The air intake advertised 12hp, and the exhaust 10hp. So, the guy figures he got an extra 22hp. But check the car on a dyno before and after, and you'll never see such an increase. You may even see a decrease. Why? Because the parts that came on the car were designed for it by engineers who *might* just know more about building and tuning cars than we mere mortals. When you put those "upgrades" on your car, it certainly gets louder, and you know that you've spent some money, and you probably punch it a whole lot more. So, the car simply MUST be faster, right? Increased volume does not equal increased performance. But I know none of that will stop the "import tuners" from believing their car is faster than a Corvette just because it's louder. Or, apparently, my fellow Cutlass drivers. I look forward to reading the comments from angry drivers of "500hp" Civics.

I used to own a 94 cutlass supreme, great ride, now I own a 92 deville with a 4.9 letre V8 engine my Caddi crushes civics especially the ones with those cheesy over-sized exhaust tips that make a 1.6 letre |4 economy car sound like a cast iron six that's skipping a cylinder.

The faces are priceless when they find out that my stock as a rock Caddi, is after all faster, and more powerful, not to mention a way better ride than their cheap econo box of a car.
