My car is the exact same, except for its red has black leather and is a 91.... Does that make me/my car special?

WOW, a '90 TURBO AUTOMATIC GTUS! With an N/A hood and TMIC!

And you passed it up for $1k..... uh-huh.

i dunno.. i think a turbo would be pretty sweet, but then again.. it would **** off alot of people on this thread, so dont risk gettin your *** beat..lol, But if it were me....i would be running as much boost as the engine could take, with the loudest BOV i could find..

Hah, i've turbo'd my GXL before, so it's not like I don't know how to do it, and I'd keep it just as clean as it is right now. It's a hard decision considering the engine in my turbo only has 400 miles on it, and the GTUs engine has 130k

I've got a base, nothing special. I'd throw it in my sport before the base, sport weighs a nice 2400lbs
