Comments:
"If it's Good Housekeeping-style practicality you want, please, go buy
a minivan. That will mean more SSs for those of us who just wanna go"
- Motor Trend Magazine, 12/99.
Hi-Po Additions:
SLP Y-Pipe, Whisper induction, K&N,and Whisper MAF.
Curiosities:
Don's car is a tier 2 SS. This means that it had additional options from
SLP that were not standard issue in the SS package. The suspension on
this car is a level 1, composed of a Bilstein shock package. The exhaust
on this car was was the better flowing option from SLP. In all it gave
the SS an increase of 7hp over standard SS bringing the advertised power
to 327hp (torque remained unchanged). Cosmetically the exhaust employs
2 tips that have 2 slash cut exits each (2 into one design). Later it
was discovered by SLP that there was an error in the advertised hp of
this exhaust and it has been rumored that the total horsepower gained
is 10 instead of the 7. Also optioned was a short throw Hurst shifter.
Waiting to unleash the fury at the local drag strip!
Besides being a gearhead, Don is a diamonnd and jewelry
dealer. I can say with assurance that you will not find a better deal
anywhere. So if you are ever in the market to buy top notch jewelry at
Super Sporting (get it) prices visit his web site: www.Gotrox.com
