Re: WHY do our cars have that electric rear hatch pulldown?

Re: Wheel Fitment

Using 17"x11" wheels on a third or fourth generation F-body, you will not need spacers to go up to 315/35/R17's. However, you can get 335's on 17x11" wheels. If you go up to 335's you will probably...

Re: Jade Gray 1992 Firebird Formula 5.7L

It's a very nice car but I've seen cars with 10k or fewer miles go for about the same amount of money. Although, this one is super desirable if it is indeed a factory CC1/L98 car.
