- Background & Plans
- Found a nice purely stock grocery-getter, took it to the track and hated the suspension but loved the car. Spent the winter doing the suspension work and replacing front brakes. Cooling was an issue last summer so I added a bigger radiator and replaced all the hoses. The GT500 mufflers are nice and eliminated the bad drone inside the cab at highway speeds. I plan to re-learn the car with the new suspension and wheels and get my driving skills up to par before considering doing any power mods. If I do, I'd like to add the Boss 302 intake manifold.
