Yeah, I see that, and since I live in Michigan it would be nice to have fuel injection for the winter but considering I love Camaro's I'm willing to live with it.
Is there anything else that I might be able to use to talk the price down on?
Performance wise, what're the pro's and con's of this car? | An 88 iroc-z is a very nice ride, in stock form and plenty fast with 325 ft lbs of torque (only made around 235hp, which is still plenty). However, considering the engine swap, and the multiple models that a "350" engine could mean, I'm not sure what it's running under there.
Heres the problem, besides the high price, and not knowing it's condition:
You live in Michigan, and you are saying it would be nice to have a torque filled V8 RWD Camaro with fuel injection for winter.
Hopefully you get the point They aren't exactly even decent in snow, especially if you've never driven a light reared RWD vehicle with low end torque before.
For example, the tires i'm running under my jeep after doing some research aren't great in rain, but decent enough for daily use. However, even with only 177hp/235ftlb's of torque I have been in situations at 1/4 throttle where I would just keep spinning from a stop during rain.
Now imagine a car with roughly 100lbs more torque in snow?
