BTW, I autoX'd my car yesterday. The trip was awesome because I now have working A/C ($140 cutom line made by Auto Cool in Smyrna). I had never raced a RWD car, nor had I REALLY pushed my 240 like that....so I learned a lot. But the car kicked serious ass. It was SOOOOO fun to fly around those cones, and be able to steer it with the gas pedal. I had ZERO problems all day...even flying around an autocross in 98degree weather in first gear close to redline.

I <3 my SR.
Why do you not trust thier reliability? GM's engine reliability has been proven over and over and easily tops most others, especially when it comes to V8's. Of course they like all manufacturers have had their bad apples, but overall they are one of the top for reliability. The small block chevy has been the longest running design over ALL other engines, and it was designed in the early 50's. Granted nowhere near the most efficient motor, but to say they arent reliable is just not true. No offense, but it sounds as though you just dont know much about them.

How many 300K mile SR's, KA's, B16's, 2JZ's, RB's, 1JZ's, etc. have you seen that are still running? I have personally seen (and owned quite a few) a lot more GM motors still going at 300K than any other, by a long shot. Of course I did have a GM 2.8 v6 turd once, now that was a shitty motor.

Great now I feel like a GM fanboy.

I <3 my SR too!
