Everything else about it sucked balls, though.
Couldn't kill that 3.8 friend of mine had 260,000 miles on hers about 2 years ago and shes still driving it. Origonal engine second trans. I let mine sit for a year didn't move it with 13 month old quarter tank of gas in it, charged the battery and the thing turned right over, didn't blow smoke idle high or anything, it was like I was just running it the day before. Excellent car, excellent engine, didn't have a world of power but it had enough to have some fun with! My 97' had less power than yours stock 150HP, 212 LbFt
